BOSTON (Reuters) - Federal authorities Wednesday began rounding up as many as 20 workers at Logan International airport, where the two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center in New York on Sept. 11 took off, a spokeswoman said.
"We are seeking the arrest of 20 employees of various companies that work at Logan," Boston's main commercial airport, said Samantha Martin, a spokeswoman at the office of U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan.
Martin declined comment on why law enforcement was arresting the workers. She also declined comment on a local radio report that said the suspects would be charged with having false Social Security (news - web sites) numbers that gave them access to the airport.
She said the arrests started very early Wednesday and that so far some 15 people had been taken into custody. A news conference was scheduled for 2:30 p.m. EST.
On Sept. 11, two jumbo jets were hijacked after leaving Logan and flown into the twin towers in New York. The hijack attacks, along with another that hit the Pentagon (news - web sites) and a fourth that crashed in Pennsylvania, killed more than 3,000 people.
I am hoping they had calls monitored, bank records traced, etc.
We shall see.
Wonder how many just quietly sneaked off in that time.
Beliving as I do (not too optimistic I hope) that our justive department is not overly dumb, everytime I see people released I opine that they are being tracked and observed to find more of the scum. I just hope it is so. This article seems to confirm.
It was actually worse than that. The intent was, first and foremost, to assist/permit the illegals to immediately get on welfare -- to let them travel directly from the airport to the welfare office. Unbelieveable!
On a similar note, how about Daschle's new name -- "the Dukakis of the Dakota's"!
I would expect some murder indictments to come out of this.
I still say nothing will happen with Iraq until 2003. Bush will then be knee deep in a war and nobody is going to be in the mood to vote in a new president mid war..Bush is a lock in 2004. Relax....things are getting taken care of...slowly but surely. That is why he put no clock on this war.
Look at the date on this article, Septemb--
Oh.
Yep, it is Breaking News, too bad they didn't consult the know all and be all of criminal investigations, the great Sabertooth.
Hope your ego wasn't bruised.
Whether it was the massive short selling of airline and insurance stock just prior to 9/11 that apparently went unnoticed, or the comings and goings, suspicious contacts and training among many known associates of Muslim terrorist groups that were never investigated, there was a massive failure.
With all the technology and safeguards in place, who was manning the ship?
Americans; Americans sleeping at the wheel.
Aha! I can hear it now. "If they had a phony National ID card, they could have been rounded up before 9/11." Just like the phony SSN, I-9, and all other false documentation that did no good.
An ounce of enforcment is better than a pounding on the door in the middle of the night.
No, but you're welcome to keep trying.
I'll have some of whatever you're smokin' so I can stick my head in the sand too.
It has been reported that the former Iraqi soldier, Hussain Al-Hussaini, that was tied to the OKC bombing by the good investigative work of Jayna Davis was working on the ramp at Logan on September 11. Above is a link to information from the court record on Al-Hussaini.
Wonder how many just quietly sneaked off in that time.
Hmmmmm...after 5 1/2 months...I wonder how many came back and left their guard down?
