Sniper trial hears of child terror plan

LEE Boyd Malvo testified yesterday that his former partner and father figure, John Allen Muhammad, told him before the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington DC area: “We’re going to terrorise this nation.”

Malvo said Muhammad also outlined a plan for six sniper shootings a day over 30 days, to be followed by a bombing campaign targeting schools, school buses and children’s hospitals.

Muhammad then planned to abduct his three children — lost in a custody battle.
