More details have emerged about an apparent infiltration of Islamic terrorists through US ports during the past two months.

Some of the men slipped through secuirty disguised as stevedores, according to Bob Graham Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

He said he had seen reports indicating that some extremists might have been wearing safety jackets and protective helmets to give the appearance of dockworkers.

U.S. Coast Guard Officials have refused to divulge any information about the reports but Graham stressed: 'The American people have a right to know.'

He said 25 extremists 'entered in a foriegn country, hid out in a container and then entered the United States.'

This afternoon on KPRC radio in Houston, they were saying that there was a ship off the coast of L.A. with terrorists abord inside containers with weapons too. I came home to see if anything was on the news about it but I didn't see anything on Fox.

There has been a gradual take over of motels and small convinence stores with gas stations by Moslems. The motels are used as safe houses to move terrorists around the country, and you will see the gas stations all go up at a predetermined time.

I would love to believe that.

And they killed the Muslem dogs by smoking them out with tear glass on the docks, letting them suffocate just like they did to the people on the top of the WTC.

Revenge is a dish best served cold..there aint no civil rights on black ops!

Remember the talk about scuba divers? Could be the terrorists could be brought to a point undetected and don scuba gear and swim on in to the coast.

Sounds like a plan, DEBKA also said the dead terorists were quaratined afterwords guess they were loaded for bear.

[Turtleman]

Thanksw Niki, I've been looking for this. :)

[codebreaker]

Nothing on the Houston website, this is full media blackout time.

[codebreaker]

If this is truew why all the snaeking around with quaratinable materials, are they trying to add something to the gas station explosions?

"I would love to believe that."

I'd love it even better if the number was ten times higher.

[codebreaker]

Exactly, I'd rather it was 225 instead of 25.

[seeker41]

I was speculating. mind exercise you know. I started thinking about this scenerio after noticing that so many arabs own or manage such properties (hotels, motels and gas stations). I don't know what one could add to gas that would not be burned off suddenly in an explosion.

Actually, we know of one instance that occurred in Italy back in October. I remember the pics.

Business-Class Suspect Caught In Container (Terrorist?)

Put "container" in the FR search engine and you get lots of stories of illegals, especially Chinese, using the containers. Since only about 1 or 2 % of them are checked, the consequences are grave.

To be a cynic, if such is happening in America, it will not be publicized. Why? Because the people would demand that each container be checked and the various industries and import interests would lose a few dollars in time and corruption profits. Kind of like the "smart border" scam proposed for the Mexican border.

Recall the story of the Egyptian stowaway Amir Farid Rizk, who was arrested in Italy on Oct. 18, 2001, in a shipping container with a bed, a toilet, household goods (including a dishwasher and family photos), a satellite phone, and a computer, apparently traveling to Canada. He was a former commercial jet mechanic. See Stowaway Mystery: Italians Investigate Man Found in Box. The man was released in November; he claimed that he was a Maronite Christian fleeing religious persecution in Egypt. See Egyptian-Canadian Stowaway Is Released From Italian Jail.
