Are we sure John Muhammad isn't a terrorist? Last year while living in a homeless shelter in Washington State, the FBI was called and notified that Muhammad might be connected to a terrorist organization. Although Muhammad spent time at the homeless shelter, he sometimes flashed a wallet thick with currency, and showed off expensive-looking watches and gold bracelets, Parks said. At the mission, Archer said, Muhammad would stay for a few days and then leave, saying he was traveling to Denver and New Orleans, among other places. The odd part was that Muhammad was traveling by airplane. Archer learned that when an airline ticket agent called the mission asking for Muhammad. "At the mission, not many airline agents call and ask for residents," Archer said. Muhammad's frequent flier status seemed odd to other people. One of them was Greg Grant, a real estate agent in Bellingham who owns and manages an apartment complex about two miles south of Sumas on Highway 9. Last year, Grant said, he would often drive residents of Lighthouse Mission - including Muhammad on several occasions - to the apartments to do yard work and other chores, then back to the mission once the work was done.

Now, this info doesn't prove anything at all; but it certainly sounds strange enough that it nees to be looked into further. [via Clayton Cramer]
