Jordanian nabbed in Hollywood (Florida)
Miami Herald ^ | 10/5/02 | WANDA J. DeMARZO AND CASSIO FURTADO

Posted on 10/05/2002 9:35:59 PM PDT by browardchad

Federal authorities arrested a Jordanian national possibly linked to Mohamed Atta, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, at a Hollywood train station early Thursday.

Mohammed Amin, who sources say has a dozen aliases, was arrested as he boarded an Amtrak train with a ticket to Palatka, a town of 10,000 people 60 miles south of Jacksonville.

Federal sources told WTVJ-NBC 6 that Amin's final destination might have been Washington, D.C.

When Amin showed up for his 11:01 a.m. train, three FBI agents and two Immigration and Naturalization Service agents were waiting for him.

They later transported Amin to Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade, where he remained Friday on immigration charges.

Authorities were told by a ''source'' that Amin was seen with Atta in the Hollywood area last year. Atta lived in various Broward cities in the months leading up to Sept. 11, including Hollywood for a time.

Another small victory:

Anti-Jewish plotter gets jail

Considering these two Johnny Jihads were portrayed as "good boys" by the Muslim community, it's good to see them marching off to pinstripes for awhile.

Which begs the question. How did he get in the country and why was he allowed to roam free all this time until now?

You tell us slick.

Have I forgotten anything?

I wish we could add: " Supremes slap down NJSC--Torricelli to remain on ballot." Other than that little fly in the ointment it has been a good day.

He could be part of the Maryland sniper operation as a controller or logistician or transportation specialist.

The MD sniper may have "activated" him as part of his escape or travel plans.

The FBI would be watching closely for any strange phone activity or travel by their watch list suspects. If the sniper is an Al Qaeda op, the operation might cause other sleepers to go active in some capacity.

Forgotten anything?

Colin Powell, whom the press, all summer long, portrayed at odds with Bush, announced the agreement with the U.N. inspectors. Powell was quoted, "Everyone in this administration is on the same page, August is a slow news month."

Reasons range from surveillance to incompetence.

Yes,things seem to be happening now.

I hope it's not because there are so many terrorists that the LE agents can't help but to keep tripping over them everywhere they go.

Thanks a lot for the ping.

"After what the dims did to our intelligence services.."

You betcha! Clinton emasculated our entire intelligence network, as well as our military. That man is a traitor and should be tried as such.

Some Freeper actually posted that GW was spending excessive sums of money on the military/intelligence complex. GW has no choice! Klintoon impoverished our intelligence gathering community. GW is simply trying to bring it up to speed.

"How did he get in the country..."

If my memory serves me correctly, Klintoon bragged on Letterman that he (Klintoon) had substantially increased the immigrant population, almost single-handedly.

I don't remember where I heard it today (probably FOX) that a security guy at the station remembered seeing this guy with Atta and had notified theFBI earlier.

Good for the security guy if he helped at all.

If enough other folk are on their toes,we might catch more of them before they do too much damage.
