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.

These guys are being charged with immigration violations only. Hence the bail.

The connection with the anthrax scare is a press "beat up" and relies solely on the word of a Mr. Janco. Some guy has called in with a story and this reporter has run with it.

You will not see this in the national media. It is yet another false alarm.

The NY Times reported that the four held were said to be acquainted with Kathy Nguyen.

Here is another conundrum, from the original article:

"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."

Everything in the story is based on un-named "published reports." It's not like it's a secret insider source you can't name because of protecting your sources if it's "published." So why no cite?

A search of the internet using Janco and Anthrax as keywords turns up nothing at all relating to these suspects or this Robert Janco. So WHAT "published reports?" The only published report is the Register-Citizen article itself. This stinks to high heaven.
