Al-Qaeda is Still 'Greatest Threat'

(AFP/File/Tariq Mahmood)

The West faces its "greatest terrorist threat" from a revamped Al-Qaeda movement using a new safe haven in Pakistan to increase attacks there and elsewhere, the U.S. government warned Wednesday.

Al-Qaeda and affiliates have recovered some of their pre-September 11, 2001 "operational capabilities" in part by using the new sanctuary just across from their old one in Afghanistan, the State Department said in a report.

Attacks in Pakistan more than doubled last year, and rose in Afghanistan, officials said. Read More

FBI busts “special interest” illegals

May 1, 2008

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2009935/posts

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - FBI agents on Wednesday busted 10 people they termed “special interest illegal aliens” for allegedly trying to use fraudulent documents to get New Mexico drivers licenses.

A Motor Vehicle Division employee alerted police several weeks ago about what the employee believed to be a fraudulent attempt to get a license, according to an FBI news release.

Albuquerque police called the FBI, which worked with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to investigate the incident.

The investigation showed that several New Mexico residents had allegedly been fabricating proof of residence documents to allow people from out of the country to obtain authentic licenses.

The FBI said the New Mexico residents were themselves illegal immigrants.

While the FBI isn’t saying which countries the 10 came from, the news release said “certain countries are associated with special national security concerns,” and that using the term “special interest alien” depends on which a given person is from.

According to the news release, investigators are still working on the investigation, and believe that dozens of “special interest illegal aliens” may have obtained New Mexico licensees using fraudulent documents.

Thanks, Ian.

Thanks!
