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.

Did he serve in the Gulf War? They said so last night but I didn't hear anything about it this morning.

The Seattle Times is reporting Mohammed is a muslim convert. Article on FR

[FootBall]

CNN reporting that the double shootings in Alabama yielded a scrap of paper with Malvo's fingerprints on it. They traced it back to the Tacoma location...

If these guys are the snipers. They wanted to get caught by giving the Police the Credit Card from the robbery.

"They were sound asleep when we found them".."They were awake as they could be when we surrounded them".

[spectre]

Wow, he was dishonorably discharged? Wonder what the classification was?

[areafiftyone]

Jeeze there are millions of muslim converts in the U.S. Scary thought that any one of them can turn.

[Lion's Cub]

You are correct. He was not a sniper. He was some kind of support personnel, but I've forgotten the exact term. Somebody posted it on another thread.

I'm wondering if these two are so stupid that the cell leader is setting them up to get rid of them.

[Peach]

The Seattle Times is reporting this morning Williams/Muhammed (sp) definitely didn't have sniper training while in the military.

[OReilly]

WHCTSLADIN equals WH ??? Ladin

[spectre]

Yes, they reported this morning that he served in the Gulf.

Bullet now matches the tree bullets..It's a MATCH!

[OReilly]

What could 'CTS' be

[looney tune]

I'm wondering if these two are so stupid that the cell leader is setting them up to get rid of them.

These guys are definitely not the brightests bulbs on the string.LOL!

[Peach]

Seattle Times reports he did serve in the Gulf War.

[FootBall]

They were sound asleep when we found them".."They were awake as they could be when we surrounded them".

Police didn't do anything to catch these guys. Snipers wanted to get caught. Sniper bragged about killing in Alabama where the Credit Card was stolen during liquor store robbery. What else more could you give the police in order to get caught? How did the Police connect the dots?

[Sacajaweau]

I'm looking at it as "he wanted to be the leader" and got his a** kicked.

[looney tune]

Ted Williams alert! Was wondering how long Fox would wait before they put him on. LOL!

[mystery-ak]

...engineer, 84th Eng Bn.....he was a truck mechanic.

[OReilly]

Chectchin ? ?

[hellinahandcart]

Also, as a side issue, do you think perhaps Harry Belafonte will now shut up?

No, but Louis Farrakhan might (if only for a few minutes):

Leo Dudley, a friend who lived a block from Muhammad in south Tacoma, said Muhammad once provided security in Washington, D.C., for the Million Man March.
