Said that the Iranian men were expelled from the country immediately, no word on the Al Qeada scout.

Darn, I didn't see Debka in title. What a waste.

Interesting in light of the recent news reports of Iran teaming with other Axis of Evil members to get nuclear materials.

It's Debka, but there's a kernel of truth, though old truth. The story involves two Iranian diplomats with a video camera on the 7 train in Woodside, Queens. They were observed by a TA cop and detained several stations later. What they were taping is a mystery, since subway cars are pretty standard. The 7 train there is an elevated and holds no secrets. The view is nice, but no source of tactical info. It Was really two guys playing with a camera who happened to be from the wrong country.

I remember this also
But what about the part where they claimed the video tape contained "footage of a party" that was really subway footage?

I think they consider it newsworthy because the Mayor and Commissioner Kelly brought it up at yesterday's press conference.

I saw someone jump the turnstile in the 8th St. station today, and he was holding a video camera. I think I should report this.

According to a NY Post article, which was posted here a month or two ago, there were two Iranians video taping the 7 Train. It was at a really odd hour in the morning and they claimed diplomatic immunity.

Makes since, Bin Laden and his #2 are reported to be in Iran.
