The people at Stuart's Coffee House remember John Allen Muhammad as a quiet chess player who never wanted to be apart from his big, stuffed, heavy U.S. Army duffel bag.

At this point, nobody can prove that the bag Muhammad was lugging around contained the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle that police found in his car when he and 17-year-old John Lee Malvo were arrested at a Maryland rest stop early Thursday. By the end of the day, ballistics tests had tied that weapon to the bloody East Coast sniping spree that left 10 people dead.

It is absolutely ludicrous to think that this man could have been arrested for 'behaving' outside the normal bounds of what his acquaintances considered acceptable.

Bump for more concrete evidence of FBI incompetence. Contacted by by individuals and even the local police re possible terrorist profile and ... nothing.


Why bother keeping an eye out if you'll likely be ignored until its yesterday's front page news?

They won't.

The state of Washington is a world unto itself. When the citizens sent food to the police who had been on duty for 24 hrs. during the anarchist uprising....the Mayor diverted the food to the anarchists. Many of the crazies who attended the WTO protests remained in the Seattle area because they found a welcome.

OK, a black helicopter just dropped off the following from the Montgomery Advertiser:

"State authorities used a special process to lift the print from a page of a magazine investigators found at the site."

A laptop computer was found in the Chevy Caprice. Stolen, or purchased? And what use did Muhammed have for it? I'm sure the investigators are digging through its contents. Hopefully it will shed some light on the loose ends suggested by this article.

Nega-tory on the military pension angle.

There's no indication he did a full 20 years, which is required before you can collect a pension. The Army was allowing early retirements (15-20 yrs) for awhile, but if he received a less than honorable discharge, he didn't retire.

Even if he did, he wouldn't be receiving much more than 7-8 hundred dollars per month.

But this is Bellingham, WA, they have an FBI office in town and I don't think that they were overwhelmed with leads following the trade center bombing.

Bellingham has ties to the Wahhabi lobby of Northern Virginia in this 4/02 Weekly Standard report:

Wahhabis in the Old Dominion: What the federal raids in Northern Virginia uncovered.

A major personality on the ground in Virginia is an individual named Jamal Barzinji, whose office in Herndon was a major target of the raids. In 1980, he was listed in local public records as a representative of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), an arm of the Saudi regime with offices in Virginia. WAMY has been deeply involved in providing cover for Wahhabi terrorism. The 2002 entry in the U.S. Business Directory lists the president of the WAMY office in Annandale, Va., as Abdula bin Laden--the terrorist's younger brother.

Barzinji serves as a trustee and officer of the Amana Mutual Funds Trust, a growth and income mutual fund headquartered in Bellingham, Wash., conveniently near the Canadian border. Amana's board also includes Yaqub Mirza, a Pakistani physicist who shares Barzinji's Herndon office address and who is widely described as a financial genius. Another board member and tenant in the Herndon office is Samir Salah. He formerly ran a branch of Al-Taqwa in the Caribbean, heads a financial firm linked to Saar, and directs Dar al-Hijra, a mosque in Falls Church, Va., notable for hardline Wahhabi preaching. Salah is also deeply involved with Taibah International Aid Association, a Virginia charity with a Bosnian branch that is being investigated by authorities in Sarajevo.

I agree, no pension. He was discharged for hitting an officer over the head and a couple of other incidents. There's no was this guy had any pension.

E-mail this to the media. Anyone have a contact at O'Reilly? This mustn't be swept under the rug.

"I felt like he was part of an organization. I felt like he had some connection with terrorists. ... I said he's got connections somewhere with somebody who's got money," Archer remembered telling the FBI.

PING

This guy should've raised sirens all over the place.

...and flying to the Caribbean.

I'm betting many loose ends will be tied together there. You've seen this, but I'm posting it again for others...

This paper deals with the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ), which is the mother of all the Pakistan-based jehadi organisations active not only in the CARs, Chechnya and Dagestan, but also in other parts of the world…

Amongst the alleged members of the TJ (Tablighi Jamaat) in the Muslim community in the US is Mr.Louis Fara Khan, the Black Muslim leader. The TJ operates in the US and the Caribbean directly through its own preachers deputed from Pakistan and also recruited from the Pakistani immigrant community in the US as well as through front organisations such as the Jamaat-ul-Fuqra founded in the 1980s under the leadership of Sheikh Mubarik Ali Gilani, who generally lives in Pakistan, but travels frequently to the US and the Caribbean.

We haven't gotten to the bottom of this case by a longshot.

Where did this "homeless loner" get all that cash? How did he get to do all that traveling? How did he get from Washington state to Washington, DC to do his dirty work? How did he learn, in such a detailed way, to navigate around the suburban MD-DC-VA area, and elude the police to kill and kill again?

The simplest explanation is that he was backed by an islamic terrorist network!!!! It will take a lot more investigtion both to prove that, and to nab Muhammad's terrorist and fifth columnist acomplices. This must be done before they can set up another series of sniper attacks, perhaps in multiple cities!!

Meanwhile, the establishment press is starting to cast Muhammad as a victim--of the military, of Gulf War syndrome, and of who knows what other situations, people, and groups. These guys will do ANYTHING to whitewash islam, even in the face of the growing danger to all of us from extremist muslims!!!! It's time for us all to WAKE UP, and to stop the lemming march to civilizational suicide!!!!

Geez, that's amazing.

I was in a restaurant with my daughter on Sunday, telling her about my suspicions about a Muslim Algerian who stayed at a friend's house for a few months. He married her neice in Hawaii and talked her into moving to WA. She found a job in Seattle and they moved, but the Algerian did not find work, he just started hanging out with other Muslims and divorced the wife. One of the suspected terrorist cells in Seattle is Algerian. So, I was telling this story to my daughter, when I noticed that the man at the near-by table was listening to my conversation and that he was Middle-eastern, himself. It kind of spooked me, like they were suddenly, everywhere.

Is Falls Church near the shootings? Could this be where Mohammed was getting his money?
