November 18, 2003 -- Two Iranian diplomats who arrived in New York recently to work at their country's U.N. mission are being investigated by the FBI after a transit cop caught them videotaping the subway in Queens, The Post has learned. The sharp-eyed officer spotted the suspicious pair entering the elevated station at Roosevelt Avenue and 52nd Street in Woodside at 1:30 a.m. Sunday and shooting tape in various directions as they waited for a Manhattan-bound No. 7 train.

Terrorism Expert MONSOOR IJAZ stated on the FoX News Channel Sunday that OSAMA bin LADEN is on his way to IRAN.

I saw and heard that also.

Expelled? They should have been tortured and then shot. Dump their bodies mixed with pigsh*t at the emabassy gate.

Sources said there have been similar cases, but in most of them the suspects appeared to be "freelance operatives" or "terrorist wannabes" who turned the tapes over to anti-American operatives in foreign countries to score points.

terrorist wannabes??

Is any one else concerned with that phrase or is it just me?

You are not alone, Mo. There is NO way I can believe that Iran would send "diplomats" here without telling them NOT to take pictures.

These Islamo-Fascists had diplomatic immunity, thanks to the UN!

The only thing they video taped was the subway, no party shots. hmm.!!!

The men said they worked for Iran's U.N. mission, which afforded them diplomatic immunity, and said they had been coming back from a party.

...as they waited for a Manhattan-bound No. 7 train.

"I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 train to the ballpark, looking like ... Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing." - John Rocker

I wonder...Before they videotaped the SUBWAY, did they ask themselves, "What would Jared do?"

So, the un can give anyone a free pass to come here, without coordinating (at least giving a list of names) with customs, INS, or Homeland security?

His latest book is about black ops to kill terrorists. Interesting methods.

Remember when guys were getting electrocuted by whizzing on the third rail?
