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.

I know, when I heard him say that (TWICE, so far!) I couldn't wait to see who posted first about it here! I think Hair of the Dog's comment is correct, we're pretty much all NE to Alabama!

I understand why a sketch wasn't released of these 2 ......it didn't fit the "lone white guy".....who played sniper video games on his computer.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner! (Duck drops down from above on a noose, holding $50 bill in his bill.)

and he said it with a bit of a smile

*L* .. I noticed that

I saw Montgomery Police Chief Wilson's and Mayor Bright's interview on Fox a few minutes ago. One minor point that amused me was that Mayor Bright referred twice to the murders in "New England". Maryland, Virginia and D.C. would be interested to know they've been relocated to the north.

i thought the same thing last night.
these guys are certainly a link, but we're likely not home yet ...

What other connection (Family, etc) do the two people arrested have with Marion, Alabama if it's not the training camp. Why were they in Marion if not the camp?

We also still use OLE SPARKY down here , and he isn't as efficient as he used to be, sometimes takes 2-3 even 4 juicings, depending on how far and slow you turn the dial heheh

So...if the gun or the credit card is not involved with the Alabama robery/killing...what is the Alabama connection then???

Maybe this is the liberal media's attempt to keep that "redneck, NASCAR, gun-toting" connection alive.

[mhking]

Why would Black Muslims shoot four (or is it five?) blacks?

I don't think this is your garden-variety NOI Muslim; I think once the digging is done and the dots completely connected, we'll find that the pair are connected to AQ at least peripherally. (and yes, I'm at work today, chicken soup in hand)

Lot's of Black Panthers in that area, this is the area that they were hiding H Rap Brown in.

I can't see Emory Folmar ever making that mistake?

[Chemist_Geek]

Earlier this morning, Steve Ducey held up a picture of Mohammed and asked, "Is this the angry white male that all of the profilers have been talking about". (paraphrased).

ROFL! Oh, that's too good. I hope some FReeper had their TiVo or VCR recording that.

[livius]

Agreed!

LOL that's a possibility. Maybe they just happened to live there for a while or had relatives down there that they stayed with. Who knows. The people at the training camp this morning said as far as they know they never went there. But that doesn't mean the sniper didn't. He might still be out there and these guys might have met him in Alabama. That could be the connection.

Lee Malvo

Any Connection?

[Mo1]

LOL ..

[Sunshine55]

May God bless these kids and their parents. We as adults slept easier last night, but when will they?

[OldDominion]

Let's hope the weapon was not purchased at a gun show....imagine the press feeding frenzy if that is the case....

[Sacajaweau]

My guts say this is going to be tied to the Oregon cell.
