The agency began deportation procedures, but in 1997, Hadayet was granted permanent residency through his wife, Hala, who received an immigration visa through the Department of States' Diversity Lottery Program, the Register and Los Angeles Times reported.
Israeli officials said they would consider the attack an act of terror unless it was proven otherwise. But on Friday, White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said, "There is no evidence, no indication at this time that this is terrorists."An Egyptian male, once rejected by the INS for permanent residency... and he's not on the FBI's watch list?
That's not the excuse, that's the problem.
A bumper sticker on Hadayet's front door that read "Read the Koran" was removed by authorities.Having learned to parse in the Clinton years, I find Ari Fleischer's use of "terrorists" in the plural to be of possible significance. By the definition of terrorism being pushed by the FBI, terrorism requires a group, therefore, there is no such thing as a "terrorist" in the singular.
Which authorities? Why? Has it been collected as evidence?
