U.S. Border Patrol agents were assaulted in two recent incidences while apprehending Mexican nationals illegally in the United States.
Agents from the Border Patrol Yuma sector’s bike patrol unit were assaulted by a convicted murderer at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Agents driving a marked Border Patrol vehicle through Somerton noticed two people exit and run from a pickup truck stopped at an intersection, according to a Border Patrol news release.
The agents caught one of the subjects, who was determined to be a Mexican national illegally in the U.S. They spotted the second subject hiding behind a wall. As they approached the man, he assaulted the nearest agent, who was able to block several fist strikes, but was struck in the face by the man’s head, according to the release.
The agent restrained the man and took him into custody, where a records check revealed he was convicted of murder and sentenced to prison in 1991. He was released from the Arizona Department of Corrections and deported to Mexico as an aggravated felon Dec. 10, 2006, the news release said.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The frequency with which these al-Qaeda media products are released, as well as their professional production values, strongly suggests that al-Sahab is headquartered in an area where its employees have easy access to high-quality media gear and which has been reliably secured against intrusions by al-Qaeda’s enemies.”

“Latest al-Zawahiri Tape Targets American Society”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “05/08/2007 - By Michael Scheuer (from Terrorism Focus, May 8) - In an hour-plus videotaped interview broadcast on May 5, al-Qaeda deputy chief Ayman al-Zawahiri answered questions from an unnamed interviewer from al-Qaeda’s video arm, al-Sahab Productions. The topics addressed covered the range of issues usually focused on by al-Qaeda leaders in videos, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and most other ongoing Islamist insurgencies. Al-Zawahiri also again attacked the perfidy of Hamas and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood for cooperating with, respectively, the Arab-state allies of the United States—calling them “Condoleezza Rice’s boys”—at the recent Riyadh Conference on Palestine and Hosni Mubarak’s regime. In the video, however, al-Zawahiri’s presentation introduces several new elements which may portend an increasing al-Qaeda effort to make itself part of domestic U.S. politics and to appeal to the religious sentiments and societal and economic dissatisfactions of American Muslims, especially African American Muslims. The new video maintains the high tempo of al-Zawahiri’s media appearances in 2007. Al-Zawahiri’s May 5 appearance is his seventh of the year, of which two have been on videotape and five on audiotape. Overall, the al-Sahab media organization has released 35 videotapes in 2007, which is a rate of one videotape every 3.6 days [1]. The frequency with which these al-Qaeda media products are released, as well as their professional production values, strongly suggests that al-Sahab is headquartered in an area where its employees have easy access to high-quality media gear and which has been reliably secured against intrusions by al-Qaeda’s enemies.
Al-Qaeda has previously tried to impact U.S. domestic politics through its video and audio tapes.”
