Tied to al-Qaeda and Jamaat ul-Fuqra; Execution date set for John Muhammad By Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. Contributing Editor 18 September 2009  A Virginia judge has set November 10 as the execution date for John Allen Muhammad, the Beltway sniper who masterminded terror attacks in the Washington, D.C. area that left 10 dead in the fall of October 2002.The time-table of the Beltway killings indicates Muhammad’s ties to ul-Fuqra and other Islamic terrorist groups. He acquired the 1990 Chevy Caprice that he would modify into his killing platform on the first anniversary of 9/11, and killed his first victim – - James Martin, 55 – - on October 2, the anniversary of the conviction of World Trade Center bombing ringleader Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman. Martin, a systems analyst for the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration, was shot in the back and killed in the parking lot of a supermarket in Glenmont, Maryland. The attacks came to an end on October 24, when Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, his teenage jihadi associate, were found sleeping in their blue 1990 Chevy Caprice, at a rest-stop near Myersville, Maryland. In the backseat was a Bushmaster XM-15 semiautomatic with a red-dot sight that had been adjusted for ranges between 50 to 100 yards. Read the entire article at The Last Crusade.org. Paul L.
