WASHINGTON - U.S. officials Wednesday said they had nothing to corroborate a newspaper report that federal agents were searching for six men who had been carrying material about a nuclear power plant in Florida and an Alaskan pipeline.
Officials said they had no information about a search for the six men, whom The Miami Herald said had been detained in the Midwest but later released even though they were carrying photographs and information on a nuclear power plant in Florida and the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline.
``We have absolutely no information at this point in time to substantiate that story,'' said Russ Bergeron, spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
A federal law enforcement official denied claims in the story that FBI director Robert Mueller was ``furious'' at the release.
``There's nothing to that. He was completely unaware of it. So there's no way he could be furious,'' the official said.
A Justice Department official said ``there's no credibility at all to that report.'' [The story continues!]
