US sniper 'linked to terror cult'
By James Langton in New York, Evening Standard
14 October 2003

Evidence has emerged linking Washington sniper John Allen Muhammad with an Islamic terror group.

Muhammad has been connected to Al Fuqra, a cult devoted to spiritual purification through violence.

The group has been linked to British shoe bomber Richard Reid and the murderers of American journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan last year.

Muhammad today stands trial for murder after bringing terror to America's suburbs along with a 17-year-old accomplice, Lee Malvo.

Until now many believed that the killing spree, which left 10 dead, was the work of a loner. But investigators suspect the 42-year-old former soldier was an Islamic terrorist and believe his insanity plea is a cover story to disguise his support for fundamentalists.

It seems clear that Muhammad saw his actions as linked to earlier terrorist outrages in America. He bought his Chevrolet Caprice car used in the attacks on the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

FYI!

[Paul Atreides]

I don't believe a word of it. He isn't a straight white male Christian gun-owning member of the Republican party.

[Support Free Republic]

Got a minute?

I'd really like you to rub my ears,
or help out FR.

[struwwelpeter]

I knew it was al Qaeda - and likely the government did as well - almost from the first day.

[aristeides]

I wonder if the prosecution is going to say anything about this at the trials of the snipers.

If there was a conspiracy, shouldn't other people be facing criminal charges?

[rageaholic]

Hey the guy is a mass murderer and a muslim. So why the hesistation to call him a muslim terrorist? Why the need to find "links" to a terror group? There is no need to find a "link" to a "group". Islam is the terror group.

[tioga]

-exactly

[dagnabbit]

Two Muslim, Black, Homosexuals on trial for serial mass murder. Whatever is the media to do?

[Centurion2000]

What a suprise .... /sarc

Send his sorry butt to GITMO now.

[Paul Atreides]

Whatever is the media to do?

What else? Blame Bush!

[MonroeDNA]

We suspected this, here on FR, as it was happening.

[Cboldt]

Two Muslim, Black, Homosexuals on trial for serial mass murder. Whatever is the media to do?

Haven't you heard? Kobe, Kobe, Kobe. There will be something to take this off the radar screen.

[oyez]

And the libs want to ban assault rifles so terrorists can't get them. What a solid solution.

[concerned about politics]

US sniper 'linked to terror cult'......Washington sniper John Allen Muhammad

DUH!!! Who'd a thunk?

Muhammad has been connected to Al Fuqra, a cult devoted to spiritual purification through violence.

Oh yeh. That sould clean up their sinfull souls a little - NOT!!

[eureka!]

"Terror Cult". Interesting choice of words, especially with the young guy pleading insanity. My first reading didn't equate "terror" with terrorism. I guess that may have been the intent....

[rickmichaels]

Muhammad has been connected to Al Fuqra...

I hope this POS is connected to three chemicals by way of a gurney and a needle.

[madison10]

Hel-lo. What'd they think he was in the "Mickey Mouse Club for Snipers?"

[Prince Charles]

Chief Moose probably knew it too, and apparently did a good deal to throw investigators off the trail.

[Prince Charles]

I agree... and I think Chief Moose should be one of those facing renewed scrutiny.

[bvw]

I wonder if his path ever crossed Taliban Johnny's?

[Prince Charles]

Two Muslim, Black, Homosexuals on trial for serial mass murder. Whatever is the media to do?

Go to commercial... Quick!

[Prince Charles]

Yep, and all the while the Feds and Chief Moose were putting out the canard about the right wing white man in a white van.

[aristeides]

Speaking of Chief Moose, I wonder how the hijackers on 9/11 knew about the exercise that NORAD was holding that morning. The commander of a security unit at Andrews Air Force Base (as Moose was and is) would have known about that exercise.

[Prince Charles]

And wasn't the good chief an official in Portland at the same time the Al Qaeda cell was operating out there?

[aristeides]

Yes, and a member of that cell worked as an intern in the city government of Portland for a while. If memory serves, that member may even have had something to do with the police department.

[MonroeDNA]

Moose was inane, and a black eye for LE.

Still is. Has a book.

[Prince Charles]

The pieces are falling into place....

:::switching over to the Cubs live thread for a while::::

[MikeWUSAF]

Yep, heard his "dem, dare, dat" interview the other day on the radio.

[jocon307]

"Until now many believed that the killing spree, which left 10 dead, was the work of a loner. But investigators suspect the 42-year-old former soldier was an Islamic terrorist and believe his insanity plea is a cover story to disguise his support for fundamentalists."

Excellent post, I wonder when this story will break in a US paper.

I guess you all have already heard that one of the *blankety blanks* plead not guilty. Wonder what he's pleading not guilty to? (I'm thinking of the profile sent out by the Moose)

[concerned about politics]

Excellent post, I wonder when this story will break in a US paper.

The liberal press? Shhhh. He probably votes Democrat. Don't make waves. Shhhh.

[Monty22]

And his little 'duck in the noose' tipoff to whoever pisses me off to this day. Moose is a complete traitor.

[DannyTN]

"spiritual purification through violence"

[Peach]

I had to wonder when I read this how widely it would be reported that they belonged to what is basically a terrorist group.

[concerned about politics]

CHAW! It could hurt someones feelings somewhere.

[Sacajaweau]

Pretty sure it was the Oregon cell....Amongst a huge weapons cache, they found a single .223??(whatever M& M used). I speculated that that single shell was a "buddy" keepsake..The single bullet was listed in the affidavit.

[Dark Wing]

fyi

[dglang]

I think a firing squad or a slow necktie party is better.

Buried of course in pig fat.

[Travis McGee]

This can't be true. Everybody know the real sniper was a white man in a white van. Chief Moose said so.

[swarthyguy]

IIRC, You said this first. Bingo!

[El Gato]

This can't be true. Everybody know the real sniper was a white man in a white van. Chief Moose said so.

And if that trucker hadn't happened along at the rest stop where they were sleeping, the MooseMan would probably still be looking for that white guy in a white van.

[Fred Mertz]

BTTT

[yonif]

The LAX shooting was a terror attack too.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep when the POS and big time liar PC Moose was lying about white guys in a white van, many of us were saying check out al Fuqra.

Sounds like someone has connected the Black Muslim/al Fuqra dots.

[Grampa Dave]

Finally, we are now reading and hearing about how our tax $'s are used by the Black Muslim mullahs in our prisons to recruit for al Fuqra.

[Travis McGee]

Yeah, only 2 years after the FR investigators!

BTW, just for fun I threw an "Al Fuqra mosque" into my book.

[truth_seeker]

"If there was a conspiracy, shouldn't other people be facing criminal charges?"

Sure, if they can name them and if they have evidence.

[Grampa Dave]

You are right, it has been about two years since we lighted the al fugra tree to chase them out of certain areas.

There are still a lot of al Fuqra rats slithering around in their mosques and "training grounds"! Good for you putting them in your book.

What is the name of that book, again?
