This articles title and the body don't make sense. The articles body I heard just about verbatim on the news conference-Friday. It is really nothing new. So why do they lead on that the sniper 'vanished' how do they know this? Because there has been no hits on Sunday? They released a rough sketch of a white truck and then ABC confuses with this title. How confusing.....anything to make headlines I guess...

Terrorists don't attack Arts & Crafts stores, but high viz targets ala the WTC. Why pick'em off one at at time when you could mow down hundreds like in Bali.
It's some nut case.

I am convinced we are witnessing a terror cell operating here.... concur. i've always thought abc news was a terror cell.

"
. . . has used a high-velocity rifle to slam a single bullet into 10 victims . . ." That is the quality of journalism these days. Sad.

The second wave is upon us.
My fear is that this cell's sole function is to paralyze the Metro DC-area while a second cell prepares its attacks on the usual Washington targets.
I really fear the White House will be assaulted shortly (...and not by the Democrats).

"I am convinced we are witnessing a terror cell operating here...." BS. If they were "terrorists," they'd be going after rush-hour traffic at any of the many federal workplaces in that area - like that Paki illegal alien did several years ago in the parking area at CIA headquarters. Their skills would also be much better.
How skilled are Washington-area "snipers," anyway?

This is all they are releasing...

Why not do both, and be more effective. This is cheap and effective method.

Bull!
They don't need to pull another 9/11 .....all the have to do is turn loose a 3 man sniper team in a major metro area....
Notice how people aren't going out in the DC area...afraid to even pump their own gas......imagine if this keeps up for say another 3 weeks.....they will wreck the local economy.
BTW .....wrecking the local economy is what this is all about.

I would believe that, however, a poster brought up a valid point against this being muslims:
On this thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/768449/posts), RedsHunter said:
The one thing in particular makes me think that it's not Al Qaeda terrorists are not doing the shooting ... the Tarot card supposedly left behind at one scene. Two things about it ... as I understand it, no self-respecting Mooselem would touch or look at, or even write upon, a graven image of God, let alone write on it in manner so to present himself as a God to others, even his infidel prey.
His point is credible. As I do not know the Koran well enough, I do not know if it would permit a muslim to go against is sacred teachings of doing such a thing with tarot cards.

These events are a practice "round" for picking off more "valuable" targets... like representatives and senators maybe. Whether or not it's terrorists is really irrelevant since the authorities will use the same investigative resources anyway.
If part of an al-Qaeda plan, Lord forbid, each takedown might be a signal that a particular aspect of further plans are in place and ready to launch.
Even though these attacks can't be defended effectively with your own firearms, it is still a good time to stress the merits of legal, individual gun ownership in one's community.

The guy may not have vanished, he may just not have access to the white truck on the weekends. Several freepers on other threads have suggested that the sniper strikes during the week when he's on the road for his job. They pointed out that he hasn't struck during a weekend, so that's what supports their assertion. Could be.

against his sacred teachings of doing such a thing with tarot cards.
Tarot cards were brought to Europe by the Arabs,
and are still very popular in some moslem countries.
