>>Wasn't John Mohammad, the DC sniper accused of doing this during the first Gulf War?

Bingo! IIRC, it wasn't proved, but he was eased out of the military because they were pretty sure it was him.

I'll see if I can find something more definitive.

From The Seattle Times, 11/10/02

Retired Sgt. Kip Berentson, more than a decade ago, intuited that Muhammad might someday turn to murder. Berentson served over him in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. Neither one liked the other.

One incident in particular caused Berentson to conclude that Muhammad was a bomb ticking. Since the incident, involving a grenade, Berentson has kept a piece of paper with Muhammad's name and dog-tag number in his wallet.

"In the back of my mind," he said, "I knew our paths would cross. Like, 'Until we meet again.' "

When news broke of Muhammad's arrest Oct. 24 at a Maryland rest stop, a part of Berentson recoiled in terror; another simmered in guilt. He knew.

"That face has been in my mind for 11 years."

Thanks for the help. It is just too much of a coincedence that the guy had the same last name. This is going to be very bad for morale and for the rest of the Muslims in the service.
