MSNBC is reporting that the killer asked for money to be wired into a *domestic* bank account see: msnbc.com. No "intelligent" terrorist or foreign national would do something this stupid when there are numerous places around the world where any money received would be secure and their identity anonymous. Which makes me wonder how on earth this guy could seriously think he's going to make money from all of this. He certainly isn't going to withdraw $10M in cash. If he planned to wire the money out again, forget it... the powers that be here will make sure, at best, the killer only thinks the money was sent out. Strange.

Re: Pretty goofy, Gus. If the killer lives here, he shoots here. Simple enough.

Probe stretches to West Coast

Muhammad once served at Fort Lewis, Washington, about 14 miles from the Tacoma duplex searched by federal agents Wednesday afternoon, according to Defense Department sources.

The mayor of Bellingham, Washington, which is north of Tacoma near the Canadian border, said the FBI and local police had searched Bellingham High School in relation to two men -- one older, one younger -- who lived in the city nine months ago.

Mayor Mark Asmundson told KING-TV the pair was "of interest to police" when they lived there and generated interest again Wednesday. He said the men are not related and that one is not a U.S. national. A spokeswoman for the FBI in Seattle had no comment.

Aerial video of the Tacoma house search showed a law enforcement officer grid off the back yard with yellow tape and saw off a large tree trunk at its roots. The stump was wrapped in plastic and taken away. A backhoe could be seen.

Sources said agents wanted the stump because they believe it might have been used for target practice and might contain potential ballistics evidence.

Agents also were apparently using metal detectors in a search of the premises. The sources said authorities were looking for shell casings.

Martha Tebbenkamp, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in Seattle, said a joint task force of ATF and FBI agents were "on site" because of a "a link to events in the Washington, D.C., area."

About 3,000 miles away from the sniper's hunting area (DC, Maryland).... Pretty goofy, huh?
