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.

*disturbed military veteran*...that pi$$es me off!..I was hoping that the shooter didn't have in military service....btw..17 years in the Army and a PFC....he had to have been demoted...and a dishonorable discharge...what a trooper!

[MasonGal]

LOL!!! - we DO need a little comic relief through all of this, don't we? :))

[rintense]

Have NBC4 cued up right now.

[UKCajun]

"Largely solved..."

That means they've got the shooters but others are involved.

[TexKat]

Mr. Bridges is perhaps the most ironic victim of the sniper!<P< That is really ironic.

Did you hear Brian Williams crediting the newspeople for the capture of these two guys? He said that the info on the Caprice was not released, and if NOT for the newsies picking up the info from scanning the cop's radio frequencies, and disseminating the info...the public would NOT have been on the look-out and the capture wouldn't have occured.

Isn't THAT interesting!

[Quilla]

This is getting a bit confusing since Montgomery, AL in is Montgomery County as well.

[Mo1]

Well IMO .. this ain't over yet ..

[Terriergal]

How is it that they are saying this morning there was no 'credit card' connection if the guy gave them an account number?

[justshe]

Paula Zahn.....and the CNN graphics today......were calling him Mohammad.

[MasonGal]

I'm with you on that!!!

Whew - I need to do a few more things here this morning - but I'm afraid I'm going to miss something!! :))

[slimer]

Reuters version: Freedom fighters accused in alleged shootings.

I'm dreading the thought of the trial these guys are going to get and what the defense lawyers are going to do with this one.

[Sacajaweau]

Caught sleeping in their car = "Sleeper cell".

Very Good!!!

I'm still curious about the "duck in a noose" comment.

me too. seems odd if these guys were just exploiting the situation to get some money, that they would use these code phrases. Maybe it was just a way to stir up national attention and get their message out to whoever.

[Darnright]

Whoa. Can someone find a photo of Atta, and put it next to this guy's photo? Look at the similarity of expression...

Spooky.

[HairOfTheDog]

One of the reports said the account they wanted to transfer money into was not the credit card after all, but an account in Jamaica... They just don't know. Half of what we think we know, is wrong.

[xsrdx]

Looks like a 1200EST news conference at the Sniper TF HQ

[Terriergal]

Well IMO .. this ain't over yet ..

That's my thought too.

[yukong]

If you are not listening to Glenn Beck right now, you need to be. He is really going off on this stuff, and saying things that no one else, not even on FNC will say.

[rintense]

IMO, if the sniper requested that Moose read that statement AFTER he is caught, there's no doubt in my mind that it's code to others.
