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.

I wish someone would finance *me* on some kind of trip like this ...

Check and see if she met with any of the usual suspects while in London - Saad al-Faqih and the MIRA crowd, Captain Hook, ect. And no doubt there's some Saudi money floating around here somewhere just for good measure.

"She was also carrying a bag of wet, muddy clothes with her travel documents."

These people may be stupid but that makes them no less dangerous.

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.

I'll vote for that !!

The United Arab Emirates was tied to the 9/11 hijackers.

Why would a woman who can afford to fly from South Africa to London to Mexico City walk across the border?

"Where did she stay while in London...?"

Is our cleric still being held in London, or is his "mosque" up and running again...I've forgotten his name, the one eyed fat guy?

Me too!!! It's just Arab profiling, that's all. How dare the US Border agents deny her of illegal entry into this country. It's unconstitutional.....we let all those Latino and Asians in illegally.....what's the difference????

Yeah, but the UAE is basically the Switzerland or Singapore of the Middle East ... it's where the money is. Did she come there from Iran, perchance?

Hell, turnabout is fair play, Mexicans send up drugs and illegals, and we send down guns to ferment revolution.

Chances are a revolution would improve 'conditions' in Mexico. Obviously, nothing the US does is improving it.

I don't know.....

I'll bet you one thing ....her name will not come up in a terrorist database.....they will have scrubbed her clean before trying to insert her in this country.

They won't deny it, they just ignore it. What's happening is that the terrorists are infiltrating an army into this country to attack us. When that happens the government is going to bring the hammer down on ALL of us. The government KNOWS what is happening and choses to ignore it.
