“A jury convicted John Allen Muhammad of capital murder Monday, concluding he used a rifle, a beat-up car and a teenager who idolized him to kill randomly and terrorize the Washington area during last year’s sniper spree.”
No mention was made in this article of the possibility that John Muhammad was waging his own private jihad, or that he may have had ties with a radical Muslim group, Al-Fuqra, that has numerous links to Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
If anyone has any information about what became of probes into Muhammad’s possible ties with Al-Fuqra, please let me know. There is a curious media indifference to this question, as there is with so many things.
