January 05, 2007 2:46 PM
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.

BTTT
It would be so intolerant like not to give terrorists passports. /sarc
Don't be silly, all threads lead to global warming...
(and here's the proof...)
Nice attempt at a thread hijacking.
It's a different facet of the SAME problem. You think those AQ fighters were Americans? Maybe so but, when a Gov has No Idea how many people are coming and going from our country, does it really matter?

Peeple's Republic of Berkeley, Marin County, or Massachusetts?</p>
Waco happened in 1993...I believe when FreeRepublic was merely a gleam in Jim Robinson's eye. ;^)
Well, it is being published by the mainstream media.
What's also scary is that some of the passports could easily be legitimate.

You are correct. But when I arrived on the scene in '98, many were still commenting upon it (as they should).
so that means what? that the media gets all up in arms about their rights being denied?
You need to quit "feeling" and start "thinking". I suggest you get a copy of the dvd OBSESSION, Radical Islam's War Against The West. Viewing that will really get you the "thinking"!
...but our open border is still a good idea right?
..."recovered "dozens of foreign passports," including several American passports"
This can't be. The war is over...we have lost....
"Minneapolis cab drivers, undoubtedly.
"
Me was dinking the bery same thing LOL.
But there may be a silver lining here, those passports may lead to cells in the US.

Z man, you're a day late and I dollar short.
Boy I sure hope Kerry or Nelson were not there.
At least these folks went off to fight the war instead of staying here and complaining on the evening news that the US wasn't doing anything to help them.
