"Sometimes they run away when they're approached and rip out the tape they shot to destroy it," one source said.

JUNE 27, 2002 : (IRANIANS, UN, CAMERAS, BROOKLYN BRIDGE, TUNNELS, STATUE OF LIBERTY ARE BEING EXPELLED) Two men who work in NY for Iran's mission to the UN are being expelled from the US, ABCNEWS has learned. Sources told ABCNEWS that the two Iranians were seen five days ago videotaping the Brooklyn Bridge, the entrance to the tunnels into Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The men, who have been in the US only four months and are described as security workers for the mission, were stopped and questioned by NY police, sources said, but were not arrested because of their diplomatic immunity.

U.S. officials plan to expel the men for suspicious activities, some of which are related to irregularities in their identification documents, sources said. The expulsion of the two Iranians reflect the nationwide tightening of security as the July Fourth holiday approaches. Officials told ABCNEWS the Pentagon is preparing to dramatically increase its combat air patrols over about a dozen U.S. cities during the holiday week. The Bush administration had scaled back on combat air patrols in recent months because of expense and the toll it was taking on the planes and the pilots. Officials said the increased patrols next week is not in response to a new threat but rather a precaution for any unknown threats.- "Pre-emptive Expulsion - Two Iranian U.N.
