The target personality can be seen in a house/home that is big and surrounded by trees and green vegetation. The word "Winchester" phonetically surfaced as to his whereabouts. The individual is staying put for awhile because he feels if he moves, he can be found. The individual however, does have plans to move south to the Florida area. The personality will be found because he will either give or lend or trade in the weapon (rifle) that he used in the crime. Somehow it will be found out that this individual owned it or had it. Then the investigators will start picking up on his trail. The stronger feeling is that the individual will lend the weapon to someone.

It seems that he had a grudge towards the CIA and he did what he thought was just. The personality is currently changing his car and continually wears sunglasses. The target personality is with a girl that is young with long brown hair and wears a big hat. The target personality may dye his hair to blonde and will ride in a red convertible. The intention is to be on the move in a car. At one point during the session, I could see the target personality going into a safe. He may have money there to help him travel or he may be exchanging money or he may have gotten paid by someone to do this. I have a feeling that the girl may know that he did this and she is helping him. Maybe the personality was paid by terrorists to do this. The personality does however live in a big house with a small porch. Approved For Release 2001/04/02 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002400480001-3

Jan. 16, 1993: Kansi buys a Beretta .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol, an East German Makarov 9mm semiautomatic pistol and a Colt AR-15 .223-caliber assault rifle at David Condon Guns in Chantilly.

Feb. 6: Mir again calls police and tells them he believes Kansi may have been involved in the shootings. Mir's was among about 2,500 tips police received during the investigation. Feb. 8: Police search the Reston apartment. They find an AK-47-type rifle and several other weapons. A jacket and pants fitting witnesses' descriptions of what the gunman wore also are found. Shards of glass are on some of the clothes; car windows were shot out at the CIA. Feb. 9: Authorities announce that ballistics tests show Kansi's AK-47 rifle is the weapon used in the shootings and that Kansi has been charged with capital murder.

Sources said yesterday that the fingerprints will be most useful if hey are of sufficient quality to use In a computer screening process, if They are indeed those of the gun- man and if the gunman has been arrested for a felony. The FBI has on its computer only the prints of people arrested for felonies. Mil- ltons of others exist in paper files, which must be searched by hand. The CIA has planned a memorial service at its headquarters today for Lansing H. Bennett, 66, of Res- ton, a physician and intelligence analyst, and Frank Darling, 28, of Reston, who worked in covert op- erations. Security was especially tight again yesterday at all en- trances to the complex, officials Bennett and Darling were in their cars at a stoplight on Dolley Madison Boulevard (Route 123), preparing to turn into the CIA en- tance, when the gunman suddenly emerged from a car and opened fire shortly before 8 a.m. Monday. Two other CIA employees, Nicholas Starr, 60, and Calvin Morgan, 61, were wounded. They continued to show improvement at Fairfax Hos- pital, where their conditions were upgraded yesterday to fair. The third injured man, Stephen E Williams, who was treated for superficial wounds and released Monday, works for a CIA contrac- tor. All were stopped at the light. Franklin said police now believe the gunman stopped his car-de- scribed as a dark, medium-sized automobile-directly behind Ben- nett's Saab in one of the turn lanes. After the shooting, witnesses said, he maneuvered the car past Ben- nett's and continued east on Route 143. Then he vanished, leaving be- hind the victims and dozens of wit- nesses, many too shocked to recall details. Police found at least seven shell casings near the cars, including at least one that yielded a fingerprint, sources said. Authorities said the shell would have been touched as it was being loaded into the gun's clip. Attacker's Said To Be in AK-47 Class By Bill Miller and Robert O'Harrow Jr. Washington Post Staff Writers Fingerprints believed to be those of the gunman who killed two men and wounded three others outside the CIA's Langley headquarters Monday have been discovered on one of the victim's cars and on a shell casing, sources close to the investigation said yesterday. Based on the size of shell casings left at the scene of the bloody rush- hour incident, investigators also have determined that the gun used Monday was one of a few basic models of the AK-47-type assault rifle. Each carries 10 to 30 rounds of ammunition and is available at local gun stores. Investigators have been canvass- ing gun stores throughout the Washington area in hopes that Mon- day's gunman had bought his weap- on recently, police said. Although many hurdles remain, law enforcement sources said the fingerprints, if they match those in FBI computer files, could provide a major break leading them to a sus- pect, or could at least help them target or eliminate people who are brought in for questioning. Fairfax County police Capt. Da- vid Franklin, head of the depart- ment's Major Crime Division, de- clined to discuss any findings yes- terday. He said there has been no "final analysis" of the evidence. "We've received a lot of good. leads," Franklin said at a news brief- ing. "All of these leads are being investigated. I personally feel that we're making progress, but it's a slow and tedious process." Franklin said that since the inci- dent, police have received more than 400 calls with information on the incident via a special 24-hour- a-day phone line staffed by inves- tigators. "There are a lot of people we've been given information about," he said. "I wouldn't characterize any of See SHOOTING, A12, Col. 1 details.

Authorities said the shell would have been touched as it was being loaded into the gun's clip. It was not clear last night from which car the other fingerprint was retrieved. Depending on their quality, the prints can be entered into the FBI's computerized fingerprint laborato- ry, which has prints from more than 25 million people arrested by fed- eral, state and local police depart- ments. Leslie J. Wallace, a spokeswoman for the FBI, said the bureau also maintains fingerprints of more than 42 million other people, including all military personnel and other fed- eral employees, some police, and workers in places such as banks that must register prints under fed- eral law. The length of time it takes to identify a fingerprint depends greatly on its clarity. Wallace said, adding, "Under ideal conditions, it can take two to three hours, but it could take up to two to three days or even longer.' FBI specialists in computerized fingerprinting were not available to explain how the computer direk- fingerprints. But other specialists said the computer reads lines, loops and other fingerprint features and selects potential matches that then must be reviewed visually by lab- oratory analysts. The computer can review millions of fingerprints and select 25 candidates in seconds. One private consultant said that even partial prints or smudges, al- though less desirable, can be en- hanced and run through computers in a search for a match. Law enforcement sources said the dimensions of the shell casings led them to believe that the gunman probably used one of several basic kinds of semiautomatic military- style firearms: an SKS, a gas-oper- ated rifle with 10 rounds, or a vari- ation of the AK-47, the most widely used assault rifle in the world, such as the AKM. Both the AK-47 and the AKM carry 30-round maga- zines. Such weapons have been used in other recent multiple shoot- ings across the nation. Authorities said they plan to show pictures of the guns to wit- nesses in the CIA shooting in hopes of pinpointing the kind of weapon used. 1 - Those who track cases ot ma violence said the choice of fireari suggested that Monday's assault w well planned and that the gunman h a strong mission-possibly, one sa a war with the CIA.

Because of the blood loss Starr suffered, hospital workers put out of surgery at. Fairfax Hospital on an urgent call Monday morning for Monday. Morgan was in the operat- ing room a few hours.

"Minutes are important," espe- cially with substantial blood loss, Gens said. "If it's true [Starr] lost his entire blood volume, then 45 minutes, for example, might have meant death." While praising the efforts of his trauma staff, Trask said there was nothing particularly unusual or he- roic in their efforts to save Starr's life.

CPYRGHT Approved For Release 2001/04/02. CIA Shooting . : Investigators Looking for a Marksman "Weren't Too Many Shots Wasted,' Source Says By Patricia Davis and Bill Miller Washington Post Staff Writers Fairfax County's chief prosecutor and others investigating last week's shooting outside the CIA's head- quarters said yesterday that they believe the gunman is a skilled marksman. 'From all the evidence available, this was a very efficient gunman," Bald Commonwealth's Attorney Robert F. Horan Jr. "He certainly was well armed." 'It's obvious to those of us in the usiness, there weren't too many shots wasted," said a source close o the investigation. Horan declined to discuss any ev- dence in the incident, but sources Police sources and others familiar said .the gunman fired at least 10, with firearms said proficiency with an rounds, hitting the five victims AK-47 type of weapon, a military as- sault rifle capable of firing 10 or more rounds, could come through practice or military training. eight times. A source said the gun- man, who parked a brown compact station wagon behind one the vic- tim's cars, fired shots as he moved toward the front of the line of traffic waiting to enter the complex, then continued shooting on his way back to his car. Edward Ezell, the firearms cu- rator at the National Museum of American History, said it "was pret- ty amazing" that the gunman was able to hit so many people in such a short time. The gunman's apparent choice of only male targets, bypassing at least two women, showed that he had some skill with the weapon, Ezell said. He added that the events demonstrated some preparation by the gunman, rather than a spur-of- the-moment shooting. However, some gun experts said it doesn't take a lot of expertise to shoot someone with a rifle from as close as three feet. "That's point-blank range," said Hayward Long, owner of the Blue Ridge Arsenal, an indoor firing range and gun shop in Chantilly. "Anyone can do that. It doesn't take skill. That weapon is not all that complicated to use." Long and two other area gun shop officials said skill usually is re- quired when shooting an AK-47 type of weapon at a distance. But others noted that the gunman was firing under stressful conditions, in a hurry and moving. They sug- gested he might have prepared for the shooting at a firing range. Law enforcement authorities called the owner of Clark Brothers firing range in Warrenton, Va., last week to ask if anyone matching the gunman's description had practiced with an assault weapon recently. The range, about a 90-minute drive from CIA headquarters, is open to the public. "It does make you perk up and take notice," said Steve Clark, the owner. "The composite picture is pretty much anybody, unfortunate- ly. I'd like nothing better than to turn in somebody like this." Meanwhile, Nicholas Starr, one of the three men wounded in the shooting, was released from Fairfax Hospital yesterday, 11 days after he "From all the evidence available, this was a very efficient gunman." - Robert F.

told Kansi attended college in Pak-
istan and is known to speak English
well.
There was no evidence that
itwas a member of any radical
group, and he has never been em-
ployed by the CIA, he said. Bryant,
the FBI special agent, said there is
no indication that Kansi had any
affiliation with any terrorist group.
Fairfax County Police Chief Mi-
chael W. Young said Kansi appears
to have been operating alone but,
he said, "there's a lot more work to
do."
Authorities
followed
several
paths to the suspect. First, accord-
ing to police, Kansi was reported
missing three days after the shoot-
ings.
He had not been seen since the
day of the shootings. Then, four
days ago, police received a tip from
Kansi's roommate, also Pakistani,
who allowed police to search his
apartment.
At the same time, federal law
enforcement officials were studying
gun purchases. They knew fromm
past experience in such cases, inn-
cluding John Hinckley's attempted
assassination of President Reagain,
that killers often purchase their
weapons within a relatively short
time of their crimes.

weapons in the Washington area iin

Barrett and Jo Anne Burka, who were at the traffic light when the shooting happened and provided police with a description that led to the release of a composite drawing of the gunman, said yesterday the sight of Kansi's photograph on tele- vision frightened them. "Looking at it, psychologically, sent a chill down my spine," Barrett Burka said. "I can't say I recognized him, but certain things were familiar. The fuzzy cheeks. The smile. The almost benign appearance of him. We felt a certain amount of relief, and a certain amount of anger," he said. Staff writers DeNeen L.

Approved For Release 2001/04/02 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002400480001-3 --- Puzzled Neighbors Say Shooting Suspect Was Quiet CPYRGHT By D'Vera Cohn and Robert O'Harrow Jr. Washington Post Staff Writers Mir Aimal Kansi was described by neighbors at his Reston low-rise apartment complex as a quiet man who did not seem remarkable in any way until he was named yesterday as the suspect in the methodical shooting rampage last month that killed two people outside CIA head- quarters in Langley. Police said Kansi is a 28-year-old Pakistani citizen who had been in the country illegally, but had been grant- ed legal status under general immi- gration amnesty. He had a work per- mit and was employed as a package ·courier! He had never been a CIA employee, police said. They said he might have left the country, but that that has not yet been determined. Kansi is now the subject of a world- wide manhunt. Kansi's name came to light shortly after the Jan. 25 shootings, police said, when his roommate reported him missing from their ground-floor unit at Laurel Glade Apartments in Reston, about 15 miles west of Washington. A privately owned subsidized de- velopment with 200 units, Laurel Glade is a well-kept three-story brick complex in the Hunters Woods section of Reston. The apartments are near the U.S. Geo- logical Survey and in the same neighborhood as Dogwood Elemen- tary School. Rents are moderate; a two-bed- room unit goes for $650 a month. No one answered the door yester- day at the apartment rented in the name of Ahmed Mir, a man neigh- bors described as being in his thir- ties. Resident manager Sandra Sly. said Mir had rented the one-bedroom unit since October 1991. Although police said Mir had a roommate, Sly said his lease did not allow room- mates. Other residents of the building said they were not sure they recog- nized Kansi as their neighbor from the photograph shown on television. Several of them also said two or more men occupied the apartment. They said the apartment's occu- pants were quiet and reserved, though not unfriendly. Ghias Ahmed, who lives upstairs from the apartment where police said Kansi lived, said his neighbor "looks like a very regular guy" and often said hello. Ting Sourivong . remembered Kansi differently. "He is so quiet," Sourivong said. "We never talked to him." Authorities did not release much information on Kansi or Mir, but neighbors said they thought one man drove a taxi and another worked in a grocery store. One of the men, ac- cording to one neighbor, drove an ash-colored station wagon; police have described the gunman's car as a medium-brown station wagon. Neighbors said they realized something was amiss on Monday, when police stopped by the building several times. Yesterday, they said, two men who appeared to be under- cover officers watched the building from across the street in a van. Neighbors said they were puzzled and terrified at seeing Kansi's face on the evening news. "It's very scary, especially happening in thi neighborhood," said James Sou rivong, 20, who lives across the hall Sly said her tenant, Mir, is a re sponsible man who paid his bills o time. She said she felt sorry for hi because of the notoriety attached someone mentioned in connecticut with such a high-profile case. "The gentleman that lived then was a nice man," she said about ME "I never had a problem." Staff writer Patricia Davis contributed to this report.

Graffiti Suspect Probed for Possible Links to CIA Slayings Approved By Patricia Davis Washington Post Staff Writer A 25-year-old Fairfax County man has een charged with spray painting words, icluding "CIA," "Crime" and "Police," in arge letters on roadways surrounding Vi- enna and with possessing a concealed oaded semiautomatic pistol. Polis said they are investigating wheth- er Michael T. Murray had "any possible in- volverMent" in the Jan. 25 shootings outside the CIA's Langley headquarters in which two Tron were killed and three others in- jured. According to sources, there is no ev- idence that Murray is the gunman. Murray, who has green eyes and sandy blond hair, does not match the description of the suspect. Witnesses described the suspect as a white male with a dark complexion and dark brown or black medium-length hair: So far, police have received nearly 1,500 tips about the case. Murray was stopped Tuesday night for a traffic violation and was later charged with 15 counts of destruction of public property in December and January, possession of a Glock 9mm pistol with a high-tech sighting device and driving with a suspended driv- er's license, police said yesterday. Murray, who was released from the county jail on $8,250 bond yesterday, said in an in- terview that he had nothing to do with the 7:50 a.m. shootings. He said he was at the Dirksen Building on Capitol Hill about 7 a.m. that morning, then left about 8:20 a.m. for the Library of Congress to do some research. "That's a very terrible situation, and I wouldn't do anything like that," Murray said in an interview at his home. "As a matter of fact, I don't even know where the CIA com- plex is." Murray, who said he is unemployed be- cause of a broken wrist, declined to com- ment on the allegations that he painted the streets and a building in the Merrifield area with white or fluorescent red paint. He also said that police have the wrong description of his height and weight and the color of his eyes and hair on the arrest war- rants. The arrest warrant describes Murray as 5-9, 170 pounds, hazel eyes and brown hair. Murray said he is 5-10, 195 pounds, with green eyes and sandy blond hair. Police said the shooting suspect is 5-8 to 5-10 and See GRAFFITI; B7, Col. 6 · 001/04/02 ℃ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1993 B7 Graffiti Suspect D'enies Links to 1 CJA Slayings GRAFFITI, From B1 - weighs 145 to 165 pounds. "It's un- de Pinvestigation; I'm not going to yes or no," Murray said of the s alegation. But he added: "I don't oud a Glock 9mm. I own a Glock 45. .. It's very questionable. WPong firearm.

The car, a dull medium brown compact station wagon believed to closely resemble a 1970s or early 1980s Toyota Corolla or Ford Escort, was seen be- ing operated erratically just before and after the Jan. 25 shootings in the two turn lanes on Dolley Madison Boulevard (Route 123) leading to the CIA's main entrance, according to police. The computer-produced drawing was made using descriptions of the car from witnesses, police said. They said that anyone who saw the car on roads leading to or from the Langley area around the time of the 7:50 a.m. shootings should call a special tip line: 703-591-9991. The suspect, a white male, 20 to 30 years old, with dark brown or black hair, was wearing a tan jacket and dark pants, possibly jeans, police said. He was described as being 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 and weighing 145 te 165 pounds, they said.
