""For many, the real surprise on Ashcroft's list was Adam Gadahn, a 25-year-old U.S. citizen who grew up in southern California. ""

If I remember correctly, it was stated in another description of him that he had lived in Riverside County. Remember the empty suitcase that was found in Murrieta at, I believe, a Home Depot? Murrieta is in Riverside County.

Signal of some sort??

SAUDI TIED TO LOCAL 9/11 HIJACKERS ARRESTED

(05-27-2004) - A 34-year-old Saudi national believed to have ties to two of the deceased Sept. 11 hijackers was arrested Thursday in San Diego by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Hasan Saddiq Faseh Alddin, a legal permanent resident of the United States, was taken into custody on immigration charges, resulting from two prior domestic violence convictions, according to Mike Unzueta, deputy special agent-in-charge for ICE investigations in San Diego.

Alddin was picked up near his residence in Vista, according to ICE.

The agency said the arrest stemmed from an exhaustive investigation by San Diego's Joint Terrorism Task Force.

"ICE agents in San Diego are working closely with our federal law enforcement partners to monitor and assess information related to potential terrorist threats in the United States," Unzueta said.

"We're committed to taking immediate action on intelligence we obtain to prevent another terrorist attack on American soil."

Alddin is believed to have associated with friends of two of the deceased Sept. 11 hijackers who lived in the San Diego area, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid al-Midhar, authorities said.

The two men were aboard the American Airlines plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

In September 2001, Alddin roomed with a close friend of the two hijackers, authorities said.

The roommate departed the United States the day before the Sept. 11 attacks.

Authorities said Alddin initially entered the United States on a student visa in August 1994. He later married a U.S. citizen and became a legal permanent resident in 1999.

He was placed in deportation proceedings Thursday by ICE and is being held without bail, authorities said.

The suitcase, which later was found to be empty, was noticed at about 4 p.m. in a parking lot on Madison Avenue near Murrieta Hot Springs Road, Sgt. Bob Landwehr said.

"It seemed strange that nobody had called reporting a lost suitcase," he said. "A store manager said it was sitting on a Home Depot dolly for hours."
