September 11th, 2002 : (NJ : ) On September 11th, 2002, suspected Sniper John Allen Muhammad walked into the Camden, New Jersey State Motor Vehicles office, to register the now-notorious "blue Caprice" he'd just purchased. Though the car had not yet converted been into a rolling sniper's nest, what happened in the next several minutes leaves little doubt that Muhammad had something sinister in mind. The registration transaction began at 8:52 am. At 8:58 am., while Muhammad was still standing at the counter, someone (now believed to be fellow suspect, Lee Malvo) phoned a bomb threat at the Motor Vehicles office on the 1st Anniversary of what...----- Sniper killings, hideout, clustered near old Al-Fuqra terror target!November 4th, 2002 | Sabertooth Monday, November 04, 2002
Note that they registered the car they were going to modify on the anniversary of 9/11.
Their killing spree around the beltway started October 2.
October 2 just happens to be the anniverasry of the day the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman was convicted in 1995.
What’s the source for that? Is Sabertooth someone’s screen name?
I presume the implication is that Malvo phoned in the threat at nearly the precise moment that anniversary anxiety would have been highest, in order to distract attention from — and reduce scrutiny of — Muhammad’s registration.
