***Sounds as if Ali was following the playbook.***

Fascinating post Cindy. Let's see, flight lessons in Phoenix and flight lessons in New Zealand. Looking like he's determined to fly somewhere sometime......

If authorities don't keep this man incarcerated, one day he'll figure a way to do it. Terror is global and terror is ongoing (24/7). Those who tie the hands of authorities from tracking these people are signing death warrants for future terrorism victims.

Man with links to 9/11 pilot deported

10 June 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A man the Government says had a direct link with a September 11 terrorist has been deported from New Zealand because he was a threat to national security.

Immigration Minister David Cunliffe confirmed today Yemeni national, Rayed Mohammed Abdullah Ali, was deported because his continued presence in New Zealand posed a threat.

"He was directly associated with persons responsible for the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001," Mr Cunliffe said in a statement.

He was deported under the rarely used Section 72 of the Immigration Act 1987, which required the approval of the Governor General.

Mr Cunliffe said immigration officials and police arrested the man in Palmerston North 13 days ago on May 29 and he was deported to Saudi Arabia the next day. He had arrived in New Zealand in February.

"The individual's identity became apparent only after he arrived in New Zealand. He used a variation of his name in applying for entry to New Zealand. Once his real identity became known, he was identified as having close connections to people involved with the September 11 2001 attacks in the United States, and had been named in the 9/11 Commission Report.

"Initially, he lived in Auckland where he undertook some English language training, the stated purpose of his visit. He then shifted to Palmerston North where he was building up his flying hours flying with an instructor. He'd previously trained as a pilot in the United States."

Mr Cunliffe refused to give further details citing security reasons."
