Russia deports American over terror link

By ANTHONY LOUIS

MOSCOW, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Russia deported a U.S. citizen on Wednesday after accusing the woman of establishing contact with al Qaida and other Islamic extremist groups and offering to prepare for and take part in terrorist attacks on the United States.

Russia's Federal Security Service said the woman, identified as Megan McRee, 35, had lived in the Moscow area for an extended period on an expired visa and without proper registration.

The FSB security service said McRee had used the Internet to contact a number of well-known Islamic extremist organizations and proposed several "scenarios of terrorist acts, including such acts against the United States, and offered to take part in their implementation."

Russian television said McRee had contact with operatives of al Qaida and the Islamic Brotherhood using the Internet, which had been monitored by the security services.

The television network said McRee told the Russian authorities she had left the United States several years ago because of persecution by the CIA and had lived in Romania before moving to Moscow.

Russia's Aeroflot Airlines said McRee is aboard flight SU321, which is to fly from Moscow to Los Angeles.

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow did not comment on the expulsion.

Nice of them to release the flight number. Wonder if she's going to be met in LA by a "greeting party?"

Plus other postings on the web about web site issues, I'd guess she's a programer.

Putin must be getting soft - in the old days, she would simply have "gone missing."

Funny you should ask that. I say no. She has a beef with the CIA as can be viewed here:

Thanks for the link in #10.

Excerpt: I was simply targeted by these people because I happen to have a high IQ. At the age of 13 I became a member of Mensa (Membership #1088406 as Megan Petersen).

She goes on and on about how she's been followed and harrassed by govt. men over half her life because of her *high I.Q". Talk about a paranoid whackjob...

Well one thing's for sure, she won't be just imagining that the government is watching her now. If she was paranoid before, real surveillance may drive her over the edge completely.

After reading that story, I'd say she was a paranoid delusional nut case.

If she was really a threat they would have done a lot more than put her on a plane to the USA.

Paranoid schizophrenic, IMHO. A truly wacky letter.

I couldn't find this article in UPI, but maybe they have already moved on to another set of articles.
