Washington sniper executed

The Washington sniper was executed Tuesday for a 2002 reign of terror that claimed 10 lives and left the US capital paralysed in fear for three long weeks.
John Muhammad staggered into the death chamber with the aid of prison guards, offering no last-minute explanation for his random killings before being put to death by lethal injection.
"I did not hear him utter a word," said prison spokesman Larry Traylor. "Mr Muhammad was asked if he wished to make a last statement. He did not acknowledge us or make any statement whatsoever."
