Fox News reported this story earlier today, they also said this Atta guy was the cousin of the 9/11 Atta. Has any one else heard anything about this?

"As far as I know, they just came here to make a lot of money working. . . . They worked in fried chicken.

These people seem to be able to come in at will. Homeland security is such a joke.

One of them, Karim Ahmed Abdel Latif Ahmed, 21, told cops he needed the maps for his new job as a street vendor.

Just last week there was a post stating that the NYC vendor licensing bureau now prohibits asking about an applicant's immigration or citizenship status.

So becoming a NYC "street vendor" now provides all sorts of cover for running surveillance, laundering money, and conducting illegal business, and even provides a semi-plausible story if one is caught in a terrorist plot.

The monumental stupidity of big-city bureaucrats is staggering.

Hozain last night told The Post that he had attended Egypt's Alexandria University with Mahboub to study chemical engineering and that he had been in the United States for only three weeks.

How did he get here..Canada or Mexico?

all illegal immigrants working "menial" jobs

What a joke. Isn't that the excuse given for all illegal immigrants? Working menial jobs? And working menial jobs and they have $8,000 dollars in hand? Let's put two and two together and what does security come up with? Poor immigrants working menial jobs. Barf.

"Five Egyptians yesterday were nabbed in a New Jersey apartment with New York subway maps, a video of Big Apple landmarks and $8,000 in cash after a tipster told cops one was related to infamous 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta."

Darn that profiling. Doesn't sound at all suspicious to me [/sarcasm]

Quick, deport them so they can plan their attacks somewhere else! (And while minding our nation's security, don't forget to summarily execute any Brazilians running to catch a train to work!) We haven't goner soft, folks, we've gone softier!

All of the men claimed to be unemployed civil or chemical engineers.

One is 19 and one is 21, civil or chemical engineers, yeah, right, and my ex was faithful too!
