WASHINGTON IN BRIEF
Al Qaeda may be recruiting non-Arabs less likely to attract the notice of security personnel to carry out attacks inside the United States, the FBI warned yesterday.
The terrorist network especially seeks operatives who have U.S. citizenship or legal residency status, the FBI's counterterrorism division said in its weekly bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide.
"Finding operatives with U.S. status would greatly facilitate al Qaeda's ability to carry out an attack within the United States," the bulletin said.

Any operative "with U.S. status" should be guilty of Treason
and subject to the death penalty.
......will be a breeze.
This is why airport security is strip searching 95-year-old Samoan great-grandmothers. You never know who might be susceptible to al Qaeda's blandishments.
Yes, we'll probably live to see the day when a white Anglosaxon American lib is nabbed with a suitcase nuke or the like. And in his car will be found leftover Kerry/Edwards banners and buttons.
Will also be easy to get FBI and CIA deep within the organization, too.
The first arrest of a white terrorist woman may deal a body blow to profiling. But in the mean time, watch out for male middle easterners between 18 and 35!
They're probably referring to non-Arab Muslims with in the U.S. (Pakistanis, Indonesians, etc.). I doubt they'd trust a non-Muslim white lib, but you never know.
If I were an Al Quaeda recruitment agent , I would be in Boston at the Democratic convention looking for recruits, if that fails I understand demonstrations are planned in New York at the Republican Convention, I am sure any of the demonstrators would gladly work for Al Quaeda.
Never know with those ALF or ELF or PETA types.
Yes, if they're white. Ethnic types would still come under scrutiny.
Yesterday's Tyrone Washington is today's Mohammed bin Abullah or some such nonsense.....
Or black. Lotta potential recruits among Calypso Louie's Nation of Islam gang.
Remeber Tim McVeigh and Gary Nichols??
well i suppose an alqaeda recruiter would have to get into the US to do that, unless they were already in the US.
We should limit islamic travel to the US till atleast the elections are over to limit the number of muslims to those that can be effectively monitored.
while within the US, all suspected muslims should already be under surveillance.
Don't forget Jihad Johnny from Marin County. There's probably plenty more like him just waiting for the chance.
Plenty of potential recruits among Louie's adherents, but they might not be onobtrusive enough.
well it's a good time to try and nail al qaeda.
we should bait al qaeda with americans.
They've already recruited Michael Moore. Watch him very carefully...
