Though murder raps are expected against Muhammad and his teenage cohort Lee Boyd Malvo, the only charge so far leveled against Muhammad is a single federal firearms count. According to this criminal complaint filed yesterday (10/23) in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Muhammad, who has used the aliases Wayne Weeks and Wayne Weekley, illegally possessed an assault rifle that he sought to outfit with a silencer. According to Robert Edward Holmes, a friend and former Army buddy of Muhammad's who was interviewed by the FBI, Muhammad recently showed him an AR-15 rifle and asked, "Can you imagine the damage you could do if you could shoot with a silencer?" Along with the AR-15, Holmes told authorities that Muhammad and an unnamed associate carried a book on how to make a sound suppressor. (5 pages)
