US sniper 'linked to terror cult'

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Moose was inane, and a black eye for LE.

Still is. Has a book.

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)

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

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.

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

Buried of course in pig fat.
