Overnite, two men arrested while sleeping in their car at a reststop in MD. John Mohammed aka John Williams and his stepson Lee Malvo. Mohammad is thought to be the likely shooter.

LOL! I hope you treat her like a jewel--and give her plenty of them :-))

I was informed, (I was in politics at the time, was an elected state official). OKC and the Tulsa area have been hotbeds for arabic/muslim activity for years. Dating back to the Iranian situation. Thousands of Iranians(muslims) flocked to Oklahoma in the mid to late 70s. It was initially connected to Oklahoma's liberal divorce laws. Oklahoma is a no-fault divorce state. No grounds other than "incompatibility" are necessary. And of course "incompatibility" can be anything, even as simple as, "I just don't like her anymore". Anyway, I digress...
During that time, because of those laws, these arabic people flocked to Oklahoma. Mostly, young men. They would get in school, marry or father a child, and then, once armed with dependents who were US citizens, they couldn't easily be deported. Which meant in reality, they weren't deported. They would marry, and then divorce within weeks. There were many instances where arabic men would pay women (who they didn't know) to marry them, on paper, stay married for a few months, then get divorced. They would never live together. They would never do anything that could be considered married, other than have a license. Then they are in the community for good. (One even married my cousin. Had kids, got his citizenship, got divorced and is still here).

So OKC area has a large muslim community. And a lot of the blacks are converting to Islam. So when the OKC bombing occurred, there was no doubt in the minds of anyone after those initial witness interviews, that the bombing was connected to ME terrorism. Yes, McVeigh and Nichols were involved. Yes they were in it up to their eyeballs. But they had help. There was a man named Hussain al Hussaini who was identified as John Doe #2. He has been picked out by some of the witnesses. But now the FBI says JD#2 didn't exist. But the witnesses still hold firm. Hussaini sued a TV station for ruining his life. The suit was thrown out by the federal court, because of the witnesses statements. Hussaini left OKC, and was last known working at Logan Airport in Boston. This is all verified by Jayna Davis and others. The fact that our government continues to ignore this burns me up. I guess I wouldn't feel as strongly if I had not been there that day, but I was. I heard the BOLOS before they went out. I heard the relaying of the witness statements to other authorities. But the official line is that "there is no one else involved but McVeigh/Nichols". aaaarrrrrggggggggggggggggggg.

Great. Not surprising results among FOX viewers but I wouldn't even want to see the results if CNN ran a similar poll.

[Dog]

Joe you should see the air brushed photo's CNN is showing .....these 2 are all smiles.....sick.

[FootBall]

FOX reporting John Malvo not really John Muhammed son.

[slimer]

Pat Brown is on MSNBC - saying she was not suprised at all Mohammud fits the profile ...blah, blah, blah

[Joe Hadenuf]

Personally, I think this guy, John Mohammad was more a transient psycho loser and common criminal, murderer for money, than a terrorist.

Sophisticated, trained terrorist, these guys were not.

[Chapita]

Ramzi Yosef directed Nichols and McVeigh! Abu Sayef was the conduit!

[Catspaw]

I believe Malvo is Mohammed's stepson.

[dinasour]

I look for lots of heart warming stories about how he bonded with his step son.

When I stepped out for lunch at about 11:00, someone was on WCBS (New York) saying, "But, John was such a nice, quiet guy..."

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yeah, I saw them.....

[Route66]

"FOX reporting John Malvo not really John Muhammed son."

You mean he's not even his step-son as previously reported?

[tomkat]

that's duck tape to you, mister !

 

[Letitring]

oops C-SPAN. Their meeting was aired over C-SPAN.

[Howlin]

Is there any other reason he would be present in Alabama that you have seen?

[FootBall]

I believe Malvo is Mohammed's stepson.

Fox said he was only introduced as his son. Not the son. Maybe they are saying he is the stepson.

[tomkat]

I thought he was killed a couple years ago.

sometimes we just have to be patient ...

[SkyPilot]

Someone suggester earlier there may be a "relationship" between the two men--but I have not heard any evidence of it yet.

[Dog]

I live about 25 miles south of Camden in South Jersey....that Fox reporter doing a live remote from in front of Mohammad's old house....better be VERY CAREFUL......Camden is not a nice place ...

[berkeleybeej]

stepson implies that he was married to the mother. he's been married/divorced twice, but none of the networks have said that Malvo is a child of one of the former wives.

Maybe he just picked the kid up off the streets.
