This snippet in today's LA Clymes:

".... INS authorities now believe that fraud was involved somewhere along the trail of applications, visas and court cases Hadayet filed, according to a government source.

Hadayet indicated he had gone to work within months after arriving in the U.S. in 1992. When he applied for a job with A-AAA Yellow Cab in Santa Ana, in September 1996--using the last name Ali--he told company officials he had been working for a rival Yellow Cab company based in Anaheim since 1992. ...

About the same time he obtained permanent residency and work permission in 1997, Hadayet started a limousine company, Five-Star Limousine. The insurance and state permit for that business were canceled last year. ..."

"She sounds as hate filled as he obviously was!"

At a certain level, there is "equality" amongst the sexes in Islam.

Hadayet visiting the U.S. for the first time in 1981. Could be consistent with his going to Afghanistan.

It could be, or it might be consistant with his having a reason to want to be out of Egypt for an even better reason.

*info here* with *more here* and particularly *here*- especially the references to Dr. Ramadan `Abdallah Shalah

The assassination attempt occurred on 26 June 1995. Zawahiri, who slipped in and out of Khartoum from the base he had re-established in Peshawar, Pakistan, had left the Sudan about six months before the attack and thus could establish a plausible deniability even though the attack was carried out by Jama'at al-Islamiya and Islamic Jihad. He was seen in Sudan in October 1994 and reentered the Sudan for the 3rd Peoples Arab and Islamic Conference held in March 95. Ostensibly, he remained in Peshawar for the rest of the year with side trips to Iran, Chechnya, and apparently once to Europe.

"Zawahiri's Islamic Jihad was responsible for the failed asassination attempt on President Hosni Mubarak in 1995, "

Bodansky says a AQ/IJ Operation. Detailed account in his book.

That chronology could also conceal a trip to the U.S. between October '94 and March 95.

Did you notice this sentence in Straits Times:

Social-security records indicate Hadayet visited the US as early as 1981. He returned on a six-month visa in 1992.

Current SS records can't be accessed legally -- and if they were accessed through LE, they would be advised not to admit it. Another point -- he wouldn't need an SS number to visit the U.S.

I stand corrected about the SS number. The LA Slimes explains:

Hadayet, who had driven limousines and taxis since 1992, had his earliest known contact with the Social Security Administration in August 1981, when he received a Social Security card after applying at the agency's Wilshire Boulevard office.

The card, often issued to students or dependents, carried a restriction prohibiting Hadayet from working.

At the time, he was classified as a noncitizen immigrant.

So he wasn't here merely as a "visitor" in 1981 -- he intended to stay, but "It is unclear where Hadayet lived between 1981 and 1992, when he arrived in Los Angeles from abroad with a six-month visitor's visa."

So he apparently left and re-entered the U.S. at some point between 1981 and 1992.

Somewhere I read that his father is in a wheelchair and is thought to have been in on the asassination of SADAT.

Mercury/Maytag is lieing .

They carefully said that name.

We are being lied to.

I believe Debka mentioned Amercan Mercury, but it was our own Betty Jo who made the leap to Mercury Air. Not precisely. The DEBKAfile report described *Mercury ground service* as an American company, leading some to think the name was *American Mercury.* More about the Mercury Air Group and their subsidiaries/propritrary firms *here*.

Actually, I had sort of wondered if it might have been Mercury GSE At LAX that had previously employed Hadayet.

There's more to be found about Mercury GSE and their activities circa 1988 when they were spun off from the other Mercury Group operations at their company history page *here*. The text of the DEBKAfile report follows. See http://www.debka.com for full text.

According to DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources, the man who murdered two Israelis on the El Al ticket line at Los Angeles airport on July 4th worked for the American Mercury ground service company from 1993 (one year after he arrived in the US) until 1998, when he left to set up his own limousine service for air passengers.

Exactly what he did at Mercury is vague, but during his five years in their employ, this former bank clerk from Cairo was free to move around Los Angeles international airport. Our sources reveal that during that time, he aroused the suspicions of El Al security personnel who warned airport security. When no action was taken, they put him under surveillance. El Al asked Mercury to rearrange Hadayat’s shifts for periods when none of its planes were scheduled, which Mercury agreed to do

You forgot about the Egyptian co-pilot, Mr. El Batouti, who killed himself and a plane full of people in the name of ALLAH in the NY harbor? Neither our "friend" the Egyptian government nor his family back in Cairo would admit that the guy was from the Moslem Brotherhood, the hate filled fundamentalist movement!

The Iraqis have nothing to do with this. They have a secular dictatorship government. We should pay more attention to governments like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and real Moslem fanatic regimes as Sudan/Libya/Somalia.....
