Slain Va. man was one-time informant who got Marine to confess to murders

WASHINGTON - A Virginia man found murdered in Maryland over the weekend was an informant who successfully got a Marine to confess to three murders in prison.

Osama El-Atari had been reported missing by his family last Thursday. Two days later, El Atari was found dead inside his truck on Armstrong Lane in Upper Marlboro.

El-Atari was an ex-con who scammed millions of dollars out of banks in the Washington area. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, but served only just a few of those years after he worked with investigators to get a confession on tape.

If you're a criminal and need to put someone else in prison to help yourself stay out of trouble, then you are not only a criminal, but pretty sissy and stupid, too.
If you aren't man enough to take the licks, then don't get involved in crime.

He got what he deserved.
