Mexico Probes Two Men for Terror Links
Mexico Investigating Two Men Deported From Central America for Possible Terrorism Links
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY Sept. 23, 2004 — Mexico is investigating two men who were expelled from Central America and whose use of false passports led officials to suspect possible terrorism links, officials said.
Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha said officials wanted to determine the reason the two were in the region and whether they were trying to travel to the United States.
"We still have absolutely nothing proved in this particular case," Macedo said. "We will do everything necessary to make perfectly clear the reason for the presence of these persons."
On Monday, Costa Rican officials said they had deported to El Salvadore two men who tried to enter the country using well-crafted European documents. Officials discovered Jordanian passports identifying the two as Ismail Mohamad Nassar and Fawas Ne Meh Mousa.
On Tuesday, Salvadoran officials said the men had been placed on a flight to Jordan that was also scheduled to stop in Mexico and Europe.
An official at Mexico's National Migration Institute, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Thursday that the men had not been detained during their layover in Mexico.
On Monday, Costa Rica's immigration director said officials couldn't confirm the two were terrorists. "But neither can we discount the possibility that they have some link to that type of group," Marco Badilla said.
Officials have long worried that terrorists would tap into illegal migrant and drug smuggling routes into the United States, although there has been no evidence of that.
Still, recent events have raised concerns. A group has posted Internet threats against El Salvador for its continued military support in Iraq, and Honduran officials said in July that a suspected al-Qaida figure, Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, had been spotted there earlier in the year.
