furniture movers again
I don't have an opinion yet as to the Israeli Intelligence connection yet. But this just came back in a search on Furniture movers + terrorism.
Dummy Moving Company
FBI investigators believe that most of the 100 men detained are part of an Israeli intelligence unit operating out of New Jersey, near where the Anthrax letters were mailed. What appears to be a dummy, front company, Urban Moving Systems, of Weehawken, N.J., had been set up and claimed to be "employer" for all of the detained Israelis. Themen, most with bogus or expired travel documents, were able to travel freely by truck throughout the U.S.A.
According to the news report, after the arrests an FBI SWAT team raided the New Jersey warehouse of the Urban Moving Systems operation and seized and carried away a dozen computer hard drives and files.
Behind the scenes, the Israeli government is reported as jumping through hoops trying to get the men released and the FBI investigation shut down. Members of the Israeli parliament called on "friends" in the U.S. Congress. The Mayor of Jerusalem, Ehud Ohmert, personally called New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and asked him to intervene.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials are desperately trying to paint the incident as a "mere mistake"-just some silly young men clowning around, unconnected to an official intelligence group. "That's why the five laughed at the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings," says Mayor Ehud Ohmert. "They were just being immature and irresponsible."
