NABLUS, West Bank (AP) - The mother of a West Bank man who invited a 16-year-old American to the Mideast to get married says she is distraught that the teenager has returned home and hopes to bring the couple together.
Sana Jinzawi says she was waiting at the airport in Tel Aviv to pick up Katherine Lester, who met her 20-year-old son Abdullah on the popular MySpace.com Web site.
Lester had boarded a flight to Israel last week after slipping out of her mother's house in Gilford, Mich. But Sana Jinzawi said by telephone from her West Bank home in Jericho Wednesday that her son was heartbroken and insisted the two are in love.
"She was going to sign a marriage contract as soon as she got here," the mother said, adding she told Lester to "bring a pink dress for the engagement party and a white dress for the wedding."
"She wanted to convert to Islam and wear the head covering and live with us and adopt our culture," Sana Jinzawi said.
Abdullah Jinzawi, who works in his father's business delivering goods to minimarkets, is no longer giving interviews. But in a phone interview with WNEM-TV in Saginaw, Mich., on Saturday, he said he met Lester on the Web seven months ago, that he was a wealthy businessman and that he wanted to marry her. He said he sent her the money for the flight.
Sana Jinzawi said five other Jericho residents had brought American girls to Jericho in recent years and that all the couples now live in the U.S.
Sana Jinzawi says her son and Lester have been in touch since the teenager returned to Michigan. "Neither of them are giving up on each other," she said.

That doesn't really look like the girl I saw on the news. Well maybe it's hard to tell. She didn't look like that. She was a lot more plain looking and not that attractive.
"Sana Jinzawi said five other Jericho residents had brought American girls to Jericho in recent years and that all the couples now live in the U.S."
Green card by marraige is a time-honored tradition.
Ha Ha Ha
And the fact that five Jericho residents did the same thing in the last few years shows pretty clearly that getting to America is all they're interested in.
YEah really. I'd be surprised if that was her picture. Any 16 year old that looks like that would have 50 dates lined up the next week just going to her first period class Monday morning. And if she does look like that, then she's stupid and deserves whatever she gets.
For nearly a month, the commandos had monitored every move of Abdul-Rahman, the spiritual adviser, whose locations had been revealed by an al-Qaeda operative captured in May near the Iraq-Jordan border. When Abdul-Rahman surfaced near Baqubah last week—apparently in the same location as the Jordanians’ Mr. X—the commandos moved in for the kill. “We had absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Zarqawi was in the house,” Army Major General William Caldwell told reporters in Baghdad the day after the strike. The Jordanian security official told TIME that the bombing killed Abdul-Rahman and Mr. X, in addition to al-Zarqawi’s 16-year-old wife.He was just following his beloved pedophile prophet. His 18 month old son was also killed in the airstrike. Do the math from there.
Kids at that age feel invincible and it will ever happen to them, only some other poor sucker.
'I know every keystroke my daughter makes on MySpace.'
But..but..what about her freedom?
They have found a way to get out of Jericho, I guess.
Why is every thread about how to scam our immigration system?
'Why is every thread about how to scam our immigration system?'
Maybe because everyone is trying to scam it.
I can't speak to whether the linked myspace page belongs to the girl in the article. I will say that there is a lot of untrue information posted on myspace.
Interesting, there's another profile on myspace with that picture, but the text of the profile is almost the same.

Ah, the previous profile is for a 'malcomforbes'.
Yep. EBlaster 5.0 by Spectorsoft.
thanks!
My pleasure.
You're right. And therein lies the evil of myspace. You can be or say anything. Kids have no idea of the dangers they confront by using the site. I dug into it awhile ago when my kid's friends all started using it. I signed up and started investigating.
Even found a site somebody set up in one of my kid's friend's name...similar to this situation, but the page was very graphic. My son's friend had to jump through hoops to get the page shut down because he didn't know the password (obviously because someone else had set it up in his name.) He had to send in forms of ID with his photo to prove that the site was not his. Interesting thing is, I know Myspace must have a way to track ISP activity, but they had no interest in finding the perp who had set up the false site.
