MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) - Nicaragua's National Police declared an alert along its borders because of the "possible presence" of two suspected members of the al-Qaida terrorist network in Central America, officials said Tuesday.
An Interior Ministry news release identified the two as Ahmad Salim Swaydan, suspected of involvement an April 2002 plot against the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, and a Yemeni man known only as Altuwiti.
A photo of Swaydan released by Nicaraguan authorities matched that of a man on the FBI's most-wanted terrorist list: Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, a 36-year-old Kenyan indicted on Dec. 16, 1998 for alleged involvement in the bombings that year of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. The U.S. State Department has offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest.
Nicaragua's Interior Department said it had imposed an "immigration alert" at all border posts. But it gave no details about why the alert had been raised.
"We must guarantee that our country is not the scene for the presence of elements linked to international terrorism or organized crime," the department said.
Spokesmen for the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua said they did not immediately have information on the case.
In Panama, spokesmen for the security and immigration agencies said they had no information.
There have been repeated rumors - but only a few glimmers of hard, public evidence - of terrorist suspects passing through Central America.
In the only known confirmed case, U.S. and Panamanian officials said Saudi native and alleged top al-Qaida operative Adnan El Shukrijumah was in Panama for 10 days in April 2001, five months before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Honduran officials last year reported that two witnesses said they saw Shukrijumah at an Internet cafe in the capital, Tegucigalpa. However, U.S. officials say the suspect almost certainly was never there, and local officials eventually backed away from the report.
Honduran Security Minister Oscar Alvarez also had said that al-Qaida might be trying to recruit Central American gang members to infiltrate the United States, but U.S. officials said there was no evidence of that.
"Nicaragua's Interior Department said it had imposed an 'immigration alert' at all border posts. But it gave no details about why the alert had been raised. "
Perhaps becuase this marks the first time ever anyone has attempted to immigrate to Nicaragua.
LOL!
It won't be hard to find a couple MIs(midd easterns) there.
They won't blend in for long, with headgear or no headgear.
Look in the mansion Ortega stole from its previous owner who
actually worked for it..
They are probably louging by the pool with a couple of
Swedish meatballs...pondering how to help the narco terrorists
obtain weapons from N Korea, China and Russia and Danny
is helping them to line up a coyote in Mexico and the coyotes
cousins working for the feds on this side of the border
imo
They are probably in Venezula having a beer with Chavez figuring which of the many targets in the US they will hit.
Ping.
How long will it take them to cross the border from Mexico,
to the U.S.?
That's a very good question granny.
