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.

"What's the difference between these guys and tourists? "

The "Catcher in the Rye books" they all had in their possession? Though some probably did have the "Koran's Guide to Peace Through Bomb Making"!

Right...but do you carry it all around with you when you are a "tourist"?

I think they had it in their apartment. I'm a savings account kinda guy, myself. Maybe they were terrrorists. They sound like poor sumbitchs were trying to scrape along under the radar, save a few bucks and live the good life in freeking armpit Newark, NJ, which still beats the $h!t out of a Cairo slum.

"My opinion is, that after London, we may well engage in renditions from American soil."

This is all too easy for me to say, since I'm out in flyover country, but let's "hope" that mass transit is all that they're about, and nothing larger.

"So far nothing in this story is incriminating except they were illegal."

That's why they are just being deported.

*other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Maybe we can 'deport' them to Egypt, where they will be arrested and, ahem, properly questioned?

The good news is they caught 'em before anything went down. Let's hope they got all of 'em!

They didn't. It is inevitable that the NYC subway and bus system will be bombed. The chances of that happening were made even greater through Bloomberg's no-profiling policy.

Were you here illegally, and are you an Arab, like these people were?

If they are Egyptian nationals isn't that what will happen?

Newark, huh? Quelle suprise.

They needed to stop off at an oil refinery for some chemicals for their subway ride...

Also, there was a story about 4-6 weeks ago about moslems having a fire inspection break up a study session on subways in New York City. That occurred in Brooklyn near Malcom X Blvd (I am not kidding).

Exactly! I have to laugh at the "civil libertarians" on this thread. These people in the story have no right to be here, and we're removing them.

Thanks, I was looking for something with a ten inch aperture, gps level north software and the FK5 star catalog, plus lots of accessories. "Honey, it's only $600 on ebay!"

I sure hope they plan to keep these scumbags locked up until they are deported. Otherwise, kiss them goodbye, you'll never see them again.

What's the difference between these guys and tourists?

"four illegal immigrants and one law enforcement fugitive"

Not exactly your standard tourist profile. And illegal immigrants who are here for purposes of eking out a living, generally aren't running around with video cameras taking footage of NYC landmarks. They're slaving away in Chinese takeouts, sewing in sweatshops, doing manual labor in contruction and landscaping, etc.

..."Ahmed Mohamed Atta, 30"...

Where oh where have I heard that "Mohamed Atta" name before...hmmmm....something to do with New York...

I suggest a "new" scenario prior to deportation....lets say a burning pig lard bath prior to sending these peace loving "undocumented" aliens back to their home country...just as a warning to others that they will meet the same fate prior to being deported.

Never Forget...Never Forgive
