SESSION SUMMARY :
1
The target personality can be located in southern Virginia.
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.

The target personality did what he intended to do.
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.

ates in the case of Mir Aimal Kansi, who police say killed two
men and wounded three others outside the CIA's Langley
headquarters:
Oct. 2, 1964: Kansi is born in the provincial capital of Quetta, Pakistan.
March 3, 1991: He enters the United States through John F. Kennedy
International Airport in New York.
Feb. 3, 1992: Kansi applies for asylum in the United States.
Feb. 12: The Immigration and Naturalization Service grants Kansi a one-
year work permit. Though it was renewable, Kansi never applied for
renewal.
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.
Jan. 22: Kansi buys a Chinese-made Norinco AK-47-type assault rifle
and ammunition at the Chantilly gun store, trading in the AR-15.
Jan. 25: Five people are shot, two fatally, while sitting in cars at a traffic
light outside CIA headquarters in Langley.
Jan. 26: A man police believe was Kansi flew from Washington to
Pakistan
Jan. 28: Kansi's roommate, Zahed Mir, reports Kansi missing to Fairfax
police. Mir tells police he last saw Kansi on the day of the shootingsk
Jan. 30: Kansi calls Mir to say that he will not be returning to their
Reston apartment and that someone will come for his belongings.
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.

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

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.

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.

ing. "All of these leads are being

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

sources said. 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.

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

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

Reston Man Sought
By Patricia Davis and Bill Miller
Washington Post Staff Writers
A 28-year-old Pakistani immi-
grant living in Reston was charged
yesterday with capital murder in
the Jan. 25 shootings outside the
CIA's Langley headquarters and an
international manhunt is underway,
law enforcement officials said.

early yesterday and firearms ex-
perts concluded that it had fired the
casings found at the scene of the
shootings. Two CIA employees
were killed and three other men
were wounded.
"There's a worldwide manhunt
being launched at this time," Robert
Bryant, special agent in charge of
the FBI's Washington Metropolitan
Field Office, said at a news confer-
ence at Fairfax County police head-
quarters. "Mr. Kansi will be put on
the FBI's top 10 list."
Officials said they have not yet
determined a motive for the shoot-
ings.

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.
Officials of the federal Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms dee-
cided to check purchases of assauilt
weapons in the Washington area iin

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."

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

Police Release Drawing of Car
Possibly Used in CIA Shootings
Fairfax County police released a drawing yester-
day of the car they believe was driven by the gun -:
man who opened fire last week on motorists at a red
light outside the CIA's headquarters, killing two
men and injuring three others.
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.
Police said the computer-produced drawing of the car
was made using descriptions from witnesses. :
