Alexis Debat Reports:
A senior official in the Somali government's new Ministry of the Interior told ABC News government forces had recovered "dozens of foreign passports," including several American passports, on the bodies of al Qaeda fighters killed in combat between forces affiliated with the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) and Ethiopian forces in Somalia.
According to the same source, most of the foreign passports were Sudanese, Pakistani and Yemeni, but several American, British and Australian passports were also recovered.
The senior Somali government official told ABC News that the American passports found on the dead bodies near Baidoa, in Somalia, would be turned over to the American government.
Yesterday al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al Zawahri, issued an audiotape statement urging Muslims to join the fight for "jihad" in Somalia.

Doncha know everything from 911 to the hurricane in New Orleans was conjured up by President Bush? /s/

As Abdul slowly dies with his life bleeding out with each heartbeat he thinks, "I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque!"
I didn't want to ignore your silly post.
I wanted to point out that you are a thread hijacker.
It should be considered common knowledge that terrorists would have passports from dozens of countries including ours.
Anyone who has not considered this years ago lacks the capacity for critical thinking.
Feel free to ignore my posts.It's a free country.
Interesting, huh?
I just told you that I have no desire to ignore your posts.
Apparently your reading comprehension is de minimis which might explain why you can't keep on topic.
The fact remains that legal citizens of the US have participated in terrorist activity before and will do so again.
And hopefully these passports will provide clues to finding nests of terrorism that the INS would never find because they are out of the INS' purview.
Like the crew of completely legal Yemeni-Americans living in Buffalo who were planning Al-Qaeda activity.
LOL! My heart so bleeds for them... /s

Exactly what I thought. We pay for the 40 kids they left while momma recruits more.
All threads lead to illegal immigration, much like all threads led to Terry Schiavo, Elian Gonzalez, and Waco before that.
Tourist Guys.
Yeah, right. Not with the Dems in power. They use terror too. Just in a different style.
The fact remains that passports, credit cards, etc are stolen from Americans every day by illegals, visa overstay types, etc.
There are threats to this country internally and externally. These were most likely stolen passports as mentioned by others.
Why do I say that? Because it is easier for these people to modify real passports than try to make their own.
Excellent news! Another honey pot.
I think the next group of muslim hijackers would find it easier to enter the US via Juarez than via JFK.
