Police have arrested the two men they have wanted to talk you urgently:

John Allen Mohammed
John Lee Malvo

I hope these news are as good as they look at the first glance.

I was wrong....this is an excellent piece of police work! These two look to be the real thing. Looks more promising all the time.....We can only hope.

To Spaw..You were not the only who was wrong in this case:

Peg (in the first thread about the sniper):
This is a disgruntled and probably sociopathic (or psychopathic) killer, most likely a relatively young unemployed white guy: 30s, loner,
... There won't be a trial, I feel pretty sure of that (there never is anymore; the gunmen always either commit suicide or get
blown away by the SWAT team)

And I said something like: I bet she's not far off with that description.

And Wolfgang, I guess we are all happily wrong! In my case, this is not a first!!! I am personally amazed at the extrapolation of "Montgomery" to Montgomery, Alabama, since so much of this has taken place in Montgomery County, Maryland. It was that as much as anything else which put them onto this father and (step)son. I can see how probably one guy just threw out, "What if he's not talking about THIS Montgomery?" Amazing....
