Jordanian nabbed in Hollywood (Florida)
Miami Herald ^ | 10/5/02 | WANDA J. DeMARZO AND CASSIO FURTADO

Posted on 10/05/2002 9:35:59 PM PDT by browardchad

Federal authorities arrested a Jordanian national possibly linked to Mohamed Atta, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, at a Hollywood train station early Thursday.

Mohammed Amin, who sources say has a dozen aliases, was arrested as he boarded an Amtrak train with a ticket to Palatka, a town of 10,000 people 60 miles south of Jacksonville.

Federal sources told WTVJ-NBC 6 that Amin's final destination might have been Washington, D.C.

When Amin showed up for his 11:01 a.m. train, three FBI agents and two Immigration and Naturalization Service agents were waiting for him.

They later transported Amin to Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade, where he remained Friday on immigration charges.

Authorities were told by a ''source'' that Amin was seen with Atta in the Hollywood area last year. Atta lived in various Broward cities in the months leading up to Sept. 11, including Hollywood for a time.

From the article:

A few minutes after the two men left, Slawiak said, a federal agent approached the ticket counter and began asking questions about the men.

Evidently the feds have been following him.

I wonder why they chose to arrest him now?

Good catch, nonetheless.

They know all his connections and want to see where they run once they realize he has been arrested.

Did you notice that our original response was almost the same?

What difference does it make? They're there now. After what the dims did to our intelligence services over the past 20 years we're lucky that they're as on the ball as they are.

It's encouraging, along with the two Muslims who pleaded guilty to a jihad plot. A good day in South Florida, for a change.

A good day

Jordanian arrested in South Florida.

al Queda broken up in Portland.

Jihad Johnny cops a plea and is singing like a canary

Shoe Bomber pleads guilty

White House and House agree to a resolution on Iraq.

Weapons Inspectors agree to hold off until a new resolution is enacted at UN.

I'd say the Bush administration is on a Roll!

Have I forgotten anything?

They were busy being politically correct, as directed by Congress.

Really? All the congress was Republican held last year and for the latter part of Clinton's disgraceful term. Which Republicans in congress made the Feds go PC?

Which begs the question. How did he get in the country and why was he allowed to roam free all this time until now?
