An Orlando based Egyptian national, who owns a Florida travel agency, is now seen by federal agents as a key to terrorist travel into and throughout the US.
The man, who was arrested by FBI agents on Sunday, is being held in a local county jail. The jail is used to house federal prisoners in transit, as there is no federal jail in this area. The suspect's house has been thoroughly searched by federal agents and is now secured by them.
Officials close to the investigation believe the man was a key to terrorist movement into and through the United States in the weeks and months leading up to the attacks on New York and Washington. The hijackers were seen in Florida just before the explosions last week and there are additional reports that the terrorists took the same flights as those seized a week before the hijackings, in an apparent dress rehearsal of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Security at the jail is extraordinarily tight, with federal agents openly armed with MP5 submachine guns in and around the jail.
Central Florida has been a hotbed of terrorist activity, with many of their pilots trained here. In addition to the pilots, the current head of Islamic Jihad went underground as an adjunct professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa for three years in order to escape a Mossad death squad. Reports have circulated for years that the Islamic Jihad leader, Ramadan Abdallah, used Moslem flight students as his own private air taxi service as he traveled from Tampa to visit Moslem Student Associations and other fundamentalist groups on campuses throught the country.
More to come on this.

Sounds like time for Florida to clean house down there.

The flight school suspected of supplying the air taxi service is NOT Embry Riddle, but another with even stronger ties to Middle East.

Fighting the war on (some) drugs. Killing Americans they don't like....that sort of thing.

But, of course, we *mustn't* doubt the true allegiance of Muslims/Arabs in this country.

The best part is that Ramadan Abdallah lived and taught here openly, under his own name, for three years, openly involved with pro-fundamentalist group called W.I.S.E.
Thought is that he was here because MOSSAD had hit the three other Islamic Jihad leaders, but couldn't kill Ramadan Abdallah here in US, especially under Clinton. (This was 94-97 timeframe)

The DOJ spent 8 years investigating collegiate sports team names to determine if they were offensive to native Americans.When they weren't checking out right wing extremists (i.e gun owners, church goers).
