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.

Illegal immigrants. Questions, anyone?

Dang, too bad Bayourod has been banned. He would have set our minds at ease. These were just hard-working immigrants that overzealous xenophobic officials have unjustly accused.

The FBI raided a mosque in Falls Church today. They took the computers and other communications. (I heard this on the radio but have yet to find a news link.)

HOw about doing some time for breaking immigration law, minimum? Lying to police? Obstruction of justice. Jaywalking. loitering, trespassing, fraud.

Creativity is the mother of good prison time.

What's the problem here? They were just scouting to find the best place to open a falafel stand. The eight grand was there to make an instant cash offer if they found a suitable location.

Intent.

Suspicion. Maybe even valid suspicion. But it's still only suspicion.

However, given that they're 4 illegals and a fugitive, we needn't worry about such niceties -- we've got them on unambiguous charges.

One of them supposedly bugged off a freighter five years ago. How and when did the others get here, I wonder.

What's the difference between these guys and tourists?

Ok...I'll bite.

Most illegal immigrants aren't "tourists"?

I would hazard a guess that "most" tourists don't carry $8k in cash?

Most tourists aren't fugitives?

Considering all of the above..and then you add "subway maps and video, the men had train schedules" that they had on them....I wouldn't call them "tourists".

I'd call that a "difference"......BWDIK?!?!?

"If one jumped a freighter to get here...how did they all link up?"

I'm sure there is some sort of safe house or meeting place that they were aware of before they ever landed here. If not, certain imams are pretty tuned into the scene, as I understand.

>> We better get ready because it's going to happen sooner or later. <<

Agree 100%. How many are out there that we still don't know about?

Check my FR Homepage. It got some good information about how to prepare and what supplies to have. It's a base list to get you started. Adapt as necessary.

The Threat Matrix threads supply good, up-to-date information, reports, and discussion.
