INS detainee anthrax suspect
TRACY KENNEDY, Register Citizen Staff December 06, 2001
HARTFORD - A Hartford judge set bail Wednesday for one of four local men detained by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service since Nov. 25 for their suspected involvement in the deadly national anthrax mailings. At Immigration Court, Judge Michael W. Straus ordered Mohammed I. Khan, 46, of Torrington, to pay $12,000 bail during a hearing regarding his application for asylum. Kahn reportedly filed the application after arriving in this country from Pakistan in 1993. According to an INS representative, he had not posted the bail by late afternoon Wednesday.
According to published reports, Khan and three other men, Najmul Hasan, 33, of Winsted, Ifran Ahmed, 36, and Ayazuddin Sheerazi, 32, both of Torrington, were arrested by local police and FBI agents after a tip from Torrington resident Robert Janco.
Janco told authorities and "America's Most Wanted," a nationally syndicated television show, that he believed Kahn and Hasan were involved in the recent anthrax scares. According to published reports, Janco told police he overheard the men talking on Sept. 8 about delivering letters to a Vietnamese immigrant in New York City named "Kathy." When Janco heard of the death of 61-year-old Kathy Nguyen on Oct. 31, he reportedly contacted the police.
According to source at the immigration court, charging documents have not been filed against Kahn or the other men and they are solely being detained on immigration matters.
Gary Cote, acting deputy district director of INS in Boston, would not comment on the investigation or confirm the men were being detained by the immigration agency. "I cannot discuss that or what action is being taken if any action is being taken concerning these men," he said Wednesday. Cote explained his office could not discuss any actions concerning immigrants that may be involved in national terrorist activities pursuant to a directive received from the Attorney General.
However, according to prison records checked on Wednesday, Khan, Ahmed and Hasan are currently incarcerated in Osborn Correctional Institution in Somers, and Sheerazi is being held at Hartford Correctional Center in Hartford.
Court dates have not yet been set for Ahmed and Hasan, and Sheerazi is scheduled to appear at a hearing on Wednesday in the immigration court in Hartford concerning his application to extend his visa.
During Kahn's hearing on Wednesday, Assistant District Council Attorney John Marley indicated he would oppose Kahn's application for asylum based on Kahn's alleged failure to report his residence in Torrington.
Kahn, a native of Pakistan, said that while he works in Torrington, he still maintains his residence on Neptune Street in Brooklyn, N.Y., as indicated on his immigration documents.
The bail asked look like that was in consequence of a request for asylum. Still didn't get the guy out of jail, but you can bet money they relocated him to someplace without any Arabs!
Naming the informant is no big deal. And, who says he waited 6 weeks? Did you ever try to use a moden to log onto America's Most Wanted website? You'll never get there. I suspect he made his first report to someone somewhere within a week of the first anthrax case being reported.
Then, how do we know the name reported for the informant is his real name? The reporter tried mightily to put together a highly complex story. Not only that, every single element of it conflicted with her most firm beliefs - namely that this was a series of attacks taking place over a period of weeks, and that the attackers were all blue-eyed blond members of the Michigan militia, and they listened to right wing radio all the time.
Must have been a stomach wrenching thing for her.
So the FBI can put him under total surveilance and see if he's stupid enough to try to contact anyone else.
Something seems in fact to be very wrong...

So much for the "right-wing militiaman" theory. So much for the "lone nut" theory. So much for the "renegade scientist theory." Is anybody surprised?

Sure he can be involved!
The feds will do whatever it takes to say these guys didn't have anything to do with it like they did with the two muslim Pakistani Doctors in Philly who both had links to Johns-Hopkins biological research facilities in Baltimore.
They are dedicated to finding a way to pin it on a "lone American" right-winger.
