Sniper-Related Warrants Issued In Alabama
Authorities Search Suspected Terrorist Training Camp
POSTED: 10:05 p.m. CDT October 23, 2002

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Search warrants related to the D.C.-area sniper case were served Wednesday in various parts of the country, including the state of Alabama.
Sources told NBC13 that federal authorities from Montgomery were in the city of Marion in Perry County Wednesday night, armed with a warrant, and were searching property.
The search warrants are reportedly for a terror camp called "Ground Zero," which is located in Marion. The camp was discovered earlier this year following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in New York.
At the time, authorities thought militants from overseas trained at Ground Zero. There has been no official connection between the camp and the al-Qaida terror network. The owner of the camp said it was a training area for police officers.
NBC13 spoke with camp owner Mark Yates, of Tuscaloosa, who says he knows nothing of any investigation into his camp. Perry County Sheriff James Hood also told NBC13 federal authorities have not contacted him.
The Alabama search warrants were issued hours after authorities started searching a property in Tacoma, Wash. NBC13 has also learned that an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent from Alabama is assisting in the investigation in Tacoma.
Sources are describing the issuance of Wednesday's warrants both in Washington state and in Alabama as attempts to follow up on "solid leads."
Developments in this story are unfolding. NBC13 News and NBC13.com will have the latest details on the sniper search and the possible Alabama connection as they become available.

I'm sure sorry for having giving you the wrong date on when the sniper will kill his next victim! The 24th of October will probably see our sniper taking another life, and I sure hope it won't be a child, but it probably will be by the behavior of this lower than a gnats dung killer!
And the media sure seem to be barking up the wrong tree! By the way moose talked, the suspects aren't all who the psycho babblers say they are, but then again, time will tell!
Forgive me for ranting, but I believe we will see more snipers coming out of the trees in other states, and this is just more than a "disenfranchised voter for Gore"! Grassontop

RITA COSBY just reported Camp Ground Zero's connection with Al Qaeda, someone needs to update them I suppose.

"I'm a Yankee from Michigan! How the hell can Islamic millitants operate [in Alabama]? "Good question. And you might also ask how can they operate in Michigan--because I don't doubt they do.

Wow, very perceptive. You might have something there.

WE have a democratic governor until Nov 5th. I believe Mr Klinton may have stopped the investigation.
We Alabamaians are not proud of having subversies in our state.
Our new Governor will likely be Mr Riley who stands for Law and Order.

Bump.

I am in favor of securing our borders and keep the foreign trouble makers out.
Save our second admendment rights and we can help keep the trouble makers out.

you and i hope you're wrong... kinda miserable being slapped around by reality lately, though, huh... my prayers go out to those families having to deal with this horror back east.
hope this ends soon and doesn't spread. fwiw, it's not at all unusual to have a .308 on the rack in your pickup in my region... i wish it were not that unusual across the country.
