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.

They are set to be deported? Let them go? No, they should be booked on conspiracy charges and interrogated for the next nine months while wearing panties on their heads.

"Authorities Arrest Men With NYC Maps, Video
Five Men Detained in New Jersey, Set to Be Deported"


July 26, 2005 —

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The men were identified as: Karim Ahmed Abdel Latif Ahmed, 21; his brother Mahoud Ahmed Abdel Latif Ahmed, 19; Ahmed Mohamed Atta, 30; Mohamed Ibrahim Gaber, 34, and Mohamed Palat Anwar Jozain."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "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.

The men, all of whom claimed to be unemployed civil or chemical engineers, are set to be deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

I caught that, too. Some to determine the best points to place bombs and the others to make them.

JMHO of course...

This is a relatively low level recon / logistics / planning team.

The jihadis will not go for a single catastrophic terror event similar to 9-11 unless they can equal or top it...meaning a WMD device in place. I think they will wait until Iran has the means to make and deliver a small scale nuclear device....which is probably 1-3 years off.

I believe , as does Porter Goss (in his testimony before Congress)...that such a device would be smuggled over the Mexican or Canadian (my bet is Mexican) border...they wont risk possible nuclear detectors at the port terminals. They could detonate it in a ship in a harbor...but that wont accomplish their goals of killing as many American children as possible. Radiation poisoning could kill over several generations.

Dirty bomb capability does exist NOW....as does the means to smuggle it into their country..using for example a mercenary group such as the MS-13 gang. My bet would be coordinated dirty bomb and/or chemical events at many major transportation centers and corridors...designed to cripple our movement of goods and people.

As to whether they will go for the distributed attack now...followed by the large scale attack later...or just skip the distributed and go for the big one is anyones guess...it depends on where Iran is at in their program.

Curious minds want to know...how DID these illegals get into the country?

It seems that a well over half of Arab Muslim males are named Ahmend or Mohammed. If you went to Baghdad and yelled, "Hey, Mohammed!" half the men would say "What?". If you answered, "Where's Ahmed!", the other half would turn around and say, "I'm right here."

Could get pretty confusing when assigning terror tasks. "Mohammed, you plant the bomb and Mohammed, you detonate it. No, not you, Mohammed. I meant Mohammed. No the OTHER Mohammed."

Ashraf Nubani, an attorney involved in the case, said Alnoshan plans to plead not guilty.

I think Nubani was part of the first wave...getting their law degrees in order to protect the second wave of bombers and terrorists.
