Police Capture Syrian Terrorists in Arizona Illegally Crossing the Border from Mexico
I missed this story, too - until I saw it under an AP headline which read "Two Arabs Caught with Mexican Illegal in Arizona." And where was the American media to report this story - that two Syrian agents crossed into the United States from Mexico? What were these two Syrians here for - to play pinochle in Las Vegas?
Syrians caught; in U.S. illegally
Oh, yeah - US citizens always cross the border illegally from Mexico. Happens all the time!
What frightens me is that this may have happened already - with al Qaeda terrorists planning on doing another 9/11. But what is worse is that The Arizona Republic headlined this story as "Syrians caught; in U.S. illegally." It should have read "Two Potential Syrian Terrorists Nabbed Trying to Enter the US Illegally."
Sickening.

Syrians caught; in U.S. illegally
TUCSON - A federal grand jury Wednesday indicted two Syrian men on charges of impersonating U.S. citizens after Border Patrol agents stopped them in southern Arizona and found an undocumented Mexican immigrant in their car.
According to a criminal complaint, Ala Salem Mamoud Al-Kurdi and Mohamed Tamman Nakchgandi, both citizens of Syria, were pulled over by Border Patrol agents on Feb. 18 on Arizona 86, a highway that runs through the Tohono O'odham Nation, a vast reservation southwest of Tucson.
In the back seat of the Cadillac, driven by Kurdi, agents spotted a Mexican man who later admitted to crossing the U.S.-Mexican border illegally three days earlier, according to Border Patrol reports. Kurdi and Nakchgandi, the passenger, said they were naturalized U.S. citizens born in Syria, but agents found they were in the country illegally, according to court records.
