A weekend break-in at the Tacoma office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service not only breached agency security, it also left several important items in unknown hands.

Richard Reid tidbits:

One more thing, they finally stopped Moussaoui statements from going to the press, feeling that he was sending a message (Said some real crazy, nonsense stuff). Kinda like "a duck in a noose" etc..
