Sniper-Related Warrants Issued In Alabama
Authorities Search Suspected Terrorist Training Camp

POSTED: 10:05 p.m. CDT October 23, 2002
UPDATED: 10:18 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.

Michigan is crawling with al Fuqra, aka Black Muslims, aka old Black Panthers, aka new Black Panthers and there isn't a nickel's worth of difference between any of them. They all hate America/Americans and have vowed to kill all of us.

The key word tonight is al Fuqra. That is the head USA farm team for terrorism under the al Qaeda thugs.

If these characters are al Fuqra, they are home grown hate American/Americans. We would have had to seal the borders in the 17th and eary 18th century to keep them out.

Thanks, I've been trying to find info on that black paramilitary camp in Ga ever since they started looking at terror training camps in the US. I forgot the celebrity name and the name of the weird religion though

Is Marion a liberal area, with liberal local leaders and is this sheriff a PC Bubba?

you and i hope you're wrong...

I hope I'm wrong, but when the bus driver got killed, I knew it before I turned on the televee, and believe me, my heart just sank to my feet and I have this odd sensation that a child is going to be killed, and if God doesn't intervene, I'm never coming back and talking on FR no more! Its easy to die, but living sure is "hell" and many of my FreeRepublic friends will tell you about what I have been through, and not bragging, either! Grassontop

A liquor store was robbed in Marion, Alabama. Some one was murdered and a credit card stolen.

The sniper wanted the money transferred to that credit card number according to Fox News.

al Fuqra is pronounced how you think.

You and your friends at work need to go to this link and start learning about al Fuqra in America and Pakistan: (Link to Al Fuqra threads on Free Republic)

Marion is pretty rural, but has a women's college (Judson) and a military school (Marion Institute). It's a pretty conservative area. The so-called militia camp has been there a long time and has been checked out by the Feds many times. FBI guys train there. However, south of Marion are Lowndes (where I live) and Dallas counties. Dallas is where Selma is. Lots of radicals in Selma. There is a town called Whitehall between Selma and Montgomery that is a hot bed of muslim stuff. Folks with really nasty attitudes.

It's difficult to see in that picture, but one of their targets is a police car.

I ran into one of these clowns in a shopping center in Vallejo with that crap on the back of his pickup.

I told him before this month was over, he and his anti American scum would be finding out how angry most Americans will be when they and their ilk are tied into violence like this sniping.

What is ironic is how much these clymers sound like some who claim to be conservatives. Probably their head guys are paid by the same blood money from the Opecker thugs, and that is why they all sound alike.
