Chechen terrorists probed
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
U.S. security officials are investigating a recent intelligence report that a group of 25 Chechen terrorists illegally entered the United States from Mexico in July.
The Chechen group is suspected of having links to Islamist terrorists seeking to separate the southern enclave of Chechnya from Russia, according to officials familiar with intelligence reports.
Members of the group, said to be wearing backpacks, secretly traveled to northern Mexico and crossed into a mountainous part of Arizona that is difficult for U.S. border security agents to monitor, said officials speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The intelligence report was supplied to the U.S. government in late August or early September and was based on information from an intelligence source that has been proved reliable in other instances, one official said.
A second U.S. official said the report is being investigated, but said it could not be determined whether the group of Chechens actually entered the country, as the intelligence source reported.
"We don't know whether or not that report is true," this official said. A spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed ...
Yep....I don't always agree with Michael when he gets rabid but there is no doubt he is spot on about the la migra issue and he says what many of us feel....and with zeal.
He's also very pro-Christian....which I love.
Yeah, I don't like his nasty attitude at times, but he does have a great point. Even O'Butthead had a point on our borders.
Why would Chechins take several turkish hotels hostage when the Turks were providing them safe havens, logistics and training? But they did and more then once.
I was trying to remember how long ago they arrested those illegals working at walmart. They labeled some as "east europeans".
Then I guess you should be against National Defense in general, just another "lost" cause to you. After all, if we can't defend our own borders, why even bother. Best get rid of cops too, just another lost cause sucking up your money.
Maybe out Texas surrendering friend here has heard of Hadrian's Wall? Worked pretty well 2,000 years ago, to bad we only have half the technology and money of the Romans.
And start WW3 with Russia by bombing Russian territory? How about this for a start, if a terror act happens in the US from Chechins, we stop criticizing Russia all the time and stop giving Chechin leaders asylum. That would be a good start on the Farse on Terror.
Chechins don't live amongst the other peoples of Russia. No one likes them. So don't bother looking in Russian enclaves, as the Russians would be the first to kill these guys off.
A note from Beslan. Several of the bus drivers noted that the Ingushi (muslims) were all getting out of Belsan and the surrounding areas (where Russians and Ossessians are the majority: Christian) on 30 & 31 Sept and came back two weeks later. Take note of any mass muslim movements suddenly happening.
Actually, if Chechens perpetrated a 9/11-scale attack in the US, here is what would happen:
President Bush will call Putin and tell him that Chechnya must be leveled. Will we under take a joint US-Russian campaign to obliterate Chechnya. That's what will happen.

I'm still waiting for the Albanian terrorism to reach America.
We never learn, we try to play them off and instead it is they who play us off for fools.
