July 26, 2005 — Five Egyptian men with maps of the New York City subway system and video of New York landmarks have been arrested by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark, N.J., ABC News has learned.
FBI and law enforcement officials told ABC News the five men — four illegal immigrants and one law enforcement fugitive — were arrested Sunday night following a tip to the Newark Police Department. In addition to the subway maps and video, the men had train schedules and $8,000 in $20 and $50 bills.

Oh just great.
Just 'raid' the churches and synagogues on potluck wednesday to keep it even.
;)
In the Falls Church raid, a Saudi and a Sudanese are charged. This thread is about Egyptians. Of course, the common thread is that they are Muslims. We'll have to "engage in renditions" across the board or we'll be remiss.
My cousin is a Financial Planner. Let me know if you would like his name and number.
Lying to a LEO.
FBI officials said the men have no known link to a terror network but noted that none of them could adequately explain the items they had in their possession, the large amount of money or their reasons for being in the United States. Mohamed Ibrahim Gaber has been a fugitive since he jumped ship from an Egyptian flagged freighter in September 2000.
Nothing suspicious here, move along... Oh, and by the way, no credit given to LE for stopping a terrorist attack.

They were just trying to find the Tower Records in Times Square. < \ sarcasm >
See my #97.
You have no idea how many were in this cell, nor whether they got all of them. Concerning the broader picture, of course there are more terrorists out there.
Why does that not surprise me? THAT'S why we need the borders slammed shut and then we need to start deporting ALL illegals. I know it's just wishful thinking because Bush said that illegals are only here to do jobs that lazy Americans won't do. */sarcasm*
yup , catch and release might just be what our guys are saying ,... here's hoping they're GRILLED daily for as long as it takes!!
Yeah, I can just hear Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR now.
2.$8,000 came from?
3.Video cameras with NY landmarks filmed. Considering that they've been here for a while (5 years in one case), why were they filming these?
4. Lied to the police.
5. Subway maps and train schedules...considering the attacks in Spain and the UK, we would ignore this at our peril.
6. We act or we live in a pre 9/11 fantasy world.
To paraphrase my favorite Jack Bauer line, somebody get the interrogators a hacksaw.
And that is more than enough for them to be kicked out of the country.
Hopefully to Gitmo, or one of those "undisclosed locations" we sometimes hear about.
Oh that is nice.
No way. Tell me you're joking. Bayourod seems to wrapped in teflon and tinfoil, and so escapes the mods attention. When did he get banned? I was just yelling at him the other day...
Why are we arresting peaceful Muslims, followers of the Religion of Peace, when we should be arresting elderly Chinese grandmothers confined to wheelchairs, who pose a much higher risk to our safety?
Now that's really smart. Hiding things from your wife. :o)
