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! That Bush bunch are really stupid! You know damned well they haven't anybody in their entire administration who could figure out that there may be an attempt such as in Russia.

What a bunch of jack-offs they are!

I agree with you 100%. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and live in California. My wife and I just voted for Bush tonight via absentee, but the border issue just scares the crap out of me. Makes me very angry. I am worried for my kids safety.

What will it ever take in this country to actually recognize this issue? Well, we all know the answer. Pray it doesn't happen.

Hot would be merciful in the case of the prisoner of the Russians. They have libraries full of interrogation methods.

I swear to God I thought after 9/11 we would shut down the border - Bush would be 60% in the polls now.

They were crossing at a CHECKPOINT! There are many miles of open border between us and Canada and once across they just look like "nice white guys".

yes, I do not understand why Chechens would be coming here..I do know that Adnan Shukrijumah has been sighted in Sonora recently, and that he may be organizing a group to enter and wreak havoc in the US.....perhaps Chechens because they are hard to 'profile' ....and they are totally ready to commit terror...I understand that many terror groups are being trained in South America, including Al Queda....could they not do something here as a ransom to the Russian govt?

By a complete fluke that had nothing to do with additional vigilance.

To get into Canada is still much harder. If it was easier - Chinese migrants would be going to Canada to sneak in instead of Mexico.

Why risk a second lucky shot? Al-Qaeda learns from its mistakes.

Chinese immigrants do not look like the typical guy from Minnesota. BTW I haven't heard of a lot of Chinese swimming the Rio Grande have you?

1.) Dig a big trench
2.) Take all the nuclear waste that's supposed to go to Yucca Mountain and toss it in.

Well, that's you get when you don't tighten the borders up. But that's what you get when you pay more attention to how Hispanics will vote instead of doing the right thing, keeping Americans safe. Quite frankly I'm pissed that we haven't done more to stop illegal aliens as well as terrorist from coming into our country. Hopefully, this won't give fuel to Kerry, because you know that dumbass is playing both sides of the fence.

Let's hope that they didn't properly anticipate weather conditions in the Sonoran desert.
