“Two on ‘terrorist watch list’ turned over to the FBI”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”There were just indicators that something wasn’t right with the vehicle,” said Dobbertin. “We searched. My dog indicated that there was the presence of narcotic odor in the vehicle,” he added.
Dobbertin said he then called Border Patrol to assist. “They (the driver and passenger) were transported back when we found out that they were on the national terrorist watch list, and the investigation was turned over to Border Patrol and FBI,” said Dobbertin. He added that the men were of Middle Eastern descent and had been residing in Sierra Vista.
“They were on the list because apparently they were non-U.S. citizens going to Nogales to basically bond out an individual - their associate - who was also a non-U.S. citizen that had been stopped the night before by Customs and Border Protection agents for entering the United States illegally,” said Dobbertin.”

Freer, Texas Border Patrol Agents Arrest MS-13 Gang Member
(Thursday, February 21, 2008)
Laredo, Texas – Border Patrol agents assigned to the Freer, Texas station apprehended a member of a Central American gang on Wednesday.
Agents arrested the 18-year-old Mexican man at a store in San Diego, Texas. Tattoos on his body indicated that he is a member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, commonly referred to as “MS-13.” During questioning the subject admitted being an MS-13 member.
The man was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

re: 1216
I can’t resist posting this comic relief...
A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when
another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in
the middle seat next to the man. The first man looked very quizzically at the
dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.
The second man explained that he was a DEA agent and that the dog was a
‘sniffing dog’. ‘His name is Sniffer and he’s the best there is. I’ll show you
once we get airborne, when I put him to work.’
The plane took off , and once it has leveled out, the agent said,
‘Watch this.’ He told Sniffer to ‘search.’
Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very
purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. Sniffer then returned to his
seat and put one paw on the agent’s arm.
The agent said, ‘Good boy’, and he turned to the man and said, ‘That woman is in
possession of marijuana, so I’m making a note of her seat number and the
authorities will apprehend her when we land.
‘Say, that’s pretty neat,’ replied the first man.
Once again, the agent sent Sniffer to search the aisles. The lab sniffed about,
sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he
placed two paws on the agent’s arm.
The agent said, ‘That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I’m making a note of
his seat number for the police.’
I like it!’ said his seat mate.
The agent then told Sniffer to ‘search’ again.
Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment,
and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and
proceeded to shit all over the place.
The first man was really grossed out by this behavior and couldn’t
figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that, so he asked the
agent, ‘What’s going on?’
The agent nervously replied, ‘He just found a bomb.’
