WASHINGTON –– The FBI said Sunday it is looking for five men of Arab ancestry who may have entered the country illegally last week.

The agency said the five men are believed to have arrived in the United States on or before Christmas Eve.

The five men are: Abid Noraiz Ali, Iftikhar Khozmai Ali, Mustafa Khan Owasi, Adil Pervez and Akbar Jamal, all born between 1969 and 1983. The FBI warned that the names and birth dates may be false.

The FBI said it had no indication the men were linked to terrorist activities, but still wanted to question the five "based upon information developed in the course of ongoing investigations."

The FBI said it was working with the Customs, Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Transportation Security Agency to find the men.

Have you heard who won the Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh game, BTW?

[Dog]

Steelers..

[mewzilla]

Nope. Not even a hint, just plural.

[spectre]

OK, so that eliminates how they may have gotten their pictures..

So the FBI had them on their watch list, only they slipped in, is all we know.

..and we picked up info that they had made it into the USA.

Perhaps they monitored a conversation elsewhere stating some operatives made it into the USA. I hope they're caught soon.

[Republic of Texas]

Illegally? How could that happen?

[mewzilla]

Wahoo! At least there's good news.

[Friend of thunder]

No passport needed between the US and Canada.

I should have added if one is a US citizen. So they probably would have needed one. Sorry

[AF68]

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near LAX or Seattle next week. Osama's boys may be coming back to finish the job.

MSNBC is reporting that they entered the country in one car....and they came up in another investigation..

[spectre]

No problem :~)

Would have been more helpful if these guys pictures were on the Front Page of every sunday paper in our Country, this morning.

Now, we have to rely on the public watching FOX or CNN.

The suspicious part is that they are Hispanic looking men, with Arab names. The names don't go with the faces except for Pervez. The last names are Ali, Ali, Owasi, Pervez and Jamal. Jose Padilla was AKA Abdullah al Muhajir.

[spectre]

Dog, don't you think they are speculating like we are?

[Miss Marple]

I think they are speculating JUST like we are.

[nwrep]

I say tap Patsy Murray's telephone line to find out where they are.

[txhurl]

So what did his suicide letter say?

Damned good question.

[mewzilla]

Where'd they get the car? Where is it now? Why no APB on the car?

[spectre]

So are they Hispanic or simply figured out a way to blend in over here?

I agree---How on earth did they get into this country in the first place!!!

Easy: They drove over the border like everybody else. Canada couldn't care less about the terrorists there because it "adds to their diversity," and the US Border Patrol doesn't care because their hands are tied by political correctness and RATS.

Jees, I hope they don't start in California for they would have to weed through over 100,000 legal...Ilegal aliens to find them.

California ...I think the word you're looking for is "undocumented voter."
