***UPDATED ***SCROLL FOR UPDATES**Am Al Qaeada File**
This gets weirder and weirder. In between murders, the killer mailed a package to NBC News. Nothing on his nom de guerre in the accompanying articles.
Gunman sent package to NBC News Chicago Tribune
Between his first and second bursts of gunfire, Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui mailed a package to NBC News containing what authorities said were video, photos of himself brandishng weapons, and a rambling diatribe about getting even with rich people.
"This may be a very new, critical component of this investigation. We're in the process right now of attempting to analyze and evaluate its worth," said Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of Virginia State Police. He gave no details on the material.NBC said that a time stamp on the package indicated the material was mailed in the two-hour window between the first burst of gunfire in a high-rise dormitory and the second fusillade, at a classroom building.
The package included digital images of him holding weapons and a manifesto that "rants against rich people and warns that he wants to get even," according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the case.NBC said that a time stamp on the package indicated the material was mailed in the two-hour window between the first burst of gunfire in a high-rise dormitory and the second fusillade, at a classroom building.
NBC said it immediately turned the package over to authorities on Wednesday. NBC would not disclose the contents beyond characterizing the material as "disturbing." The package was sent to NBC News head Steve Capus.
There's much more here at MSNBC.
UPDATE: Check out the sender's name on the package here: Ismail Hat tip Helen
UPDATE: In the videos he is railing against Christianity, Western values, calling on his "brothers and siters"......... Helen adds
Chris Matthews asked the NBC News Prez about sender's name, Ismail, "is that a reference to Moby Dick?" He responded "I honestly don't know."
Moby Dickheads.
UPDATE: Here's the bastard
Anybody have a clue as to what the killer said after "brothers and sisters" where they abruptly cut him off?
UPDATE: The mainstream media breaks it silence. Hannity on FOX News
UPDATE April 19th: More clues. Very disturbing indeed. The latest from MSNBC here;
What the nondescript package did contain was a printout of a .pdf file titled “axishmiel”, Cho’s 1,800-word manifesto broken up by the now famous photographs -- 43 total: 29 of them showing Cho with his weapons: the Glock 9mm automatic and the .22 caliber handgun as well as a hunting knife.
[...]
But what was as revealing about the manifesto was the time and date the .pdf file was last modified: 7:24 a.m., April 16, minutes after he had shot and killed his first two victims, and nearly two hours before he went on his second rampage
[...]
Their titles are varied and hard to match with their content: “all of You”, “am al qaeda”, “anti terror”, “as time appr”, “blood of inno”, “congrad”, “could b victim”. The rambling comments are those of an angry young man who felt persecuted, who felt that the world is against him, who felt he was a victim of personal terrorism.
Felt he was a "victim of personal terrorism?" Are they fookin nuts? Who writes this psychobabble? Whoever it is must be sleeping with Geraldo Rivera. You can read it all here
But five of them are called, “end”, “end 1”, “end 2”, “end car”, and “end some life”. And each of those appears to be among the last recorded, perhaps between the shootings.
UPDATE: FOX will o longer run the video of the freak's ravings. This from WSJ Political Diary;
"If anybody cares about the victims in Blacksburg and if anybody cares about their children, stop showing this video now. Take it off the Internet. Let it be relegated to YouTube. Showing the video is a social catastrophe... I promise you the disaffected will watch him the way they watched 'Natural Born Killers.' I know. I examine these people. I've examined mass shooters who have told me they've watched it 20 times. You cannot saturate the American public with this kind of message" -- forensic psychiatrist and ABC News consultant Michael Welner, discussing the consequences of the media airing the Seung-hui Cho video
