JARRATT, Va. (AP) — The mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks that killed 10 in the Washington, D.C., region has been executed.

A prison spokesman says John Allen Muhammad died by injection at 9:11 p.m. Tuesday at Greensville Correctional Center.

Muhammad was executed for killing Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during the spree that terrorized Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., over a three-week period. His teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, was sentenced to life in prison.

Prison spokesman Larry Traylor says Muhammad had no final words. He says he didn't hear him utter a word the entire time.

He got his punishment from God? Did you see 'God' administer the lethal injection?

Mastermind? (posted by BigDaddyAt , Nov. 10, 2009 11:39 pm)   
Did it really take a genius to put a hole in the trunk and shoot people? I prefer "the simple minded killer". I was working around the beltway at the time, and everyone I know in the area has storied about things they did while it was ongoing. In the end, he got his rightful punishment....from God!

Died at 9:11 - how appropriate. May he rot in hell. My prayers still go out to the victims and their families.
