Woman With Possible Terror Ties Arrested
Federal agents believe a South African woman they have in custody may have ties to terrorists.
Farida Goolam Mahomed Ahmed was taken into custody Monday when she tried to board a plane at McAllen Miller International Airport. The Federal Bureau of Investigation would not release any information Thursday, but NEWSCHANNEL 5 obtained court papers filed by an FBI Special Agent assigned to the bureau's Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The documents show that Border Patrol Agents stopped Ahmed at the airport while conducting an inspection. When asked for her status in the United States, Ahmed presented a South African passport with no entry or exit stamps and some pages torn away. She was also carrying a bag of wet, muddy clothes with her travel documents.
Investigators found travel itineraries showing that Ahmed flew from South Africa to London, via the United Arab Emirates on July 8. Six days later, Ahmed flew from London to Mexico City. After initially claiming her VISA was left in New York, Ahmed later admitted that she was smuggled into the United States through the Texas border.
Ahmed is facing three charges of violating United States Code, including making false statements, mutilating her passport, and entering the country illegally.
Joe you need to see this..
This is getting down right scary!
Bump!
This woman took the round the world tour.

South Africa to the United Arab Emirates on to London.....stayed for 6 days then flew from London to Mexico City..
Where did she stay while in London...?
Fyi....
Aren't you so thrilled that they can now bring truckloads of them courtesy of Nafta all the way into the states??? I guess that is the government's idea of stopping the coyote's.
I tend to agree. That is a good Irish name.
Any F'ing politician who denies that our southern border is a gateway for terrorists and who refuses to defend it should be charged with treason period.
The military needs to be put there and invaders shot. It's completely out of control.
V. Fox and his Mexican Mafia gang of bastards will take money from any and all terrorists so long as it may get Americans killed.
To Fox, there is no difference between drugs and WMD, as they both create problems and get Americans killed.
I wonder how if he would appreciate it if people started sending guns and ammunitions down to some of the oppressed Indians revolting in the southern areas of Mexico?
Hell, turnabout is fair play, Mexicans send up drugs and illegals, and we send down guns to ferment revolution.
Watch the women jihadis.
Chechnya, Israel even India have shown that the next attack may well use women.

I wonder *who* funded this 2 week trip & WHY ??
The term these smugglers use for themselves is "polleros" (pronounced "poy-YEHR-ohs" for you non-Spanish speakers). Essentially, "chicken herders". That's what the Border Patrol tells me anyway.
Hello, sweetheart. What's your feeling about the highways ad biways being opened to Mexican trucks?
This should not surprise anyone, except the politicians that keep telling us how much we need those 'cheap' illegal workers to fill the jobs no US citizen wants. Even the dumbest terrorist has to realize they can get huge numbers of their 'workers' into the US - just use the old 'hide in the flock' ruse (wolf in sheep's clothing). Maybe these new 'visitors' will be included in the upcoming amnesty plan.
Are they buying cameras when they get here ? I posted a few days ago that I live in a border town and have been trying to buy a digital camera. The clerk told me that recently they haven't been able to keep them in stock because the "Mexican Nationals" buying them up as fast as they can get them.
After a thorough debriefing courtesy of various drugs, she should be escorted to a secure area where she can do exactly that ~ without hurting anybody else.
