MCALLEN, Texas -- NEWSCHANNEL 5 confirms that the name of a South African woman taken into custody while trying to board an airplane in McAllen last week appears on an FBI watch list.

A senior Homeland Security official confirmed that 48-year-old Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed is a “person of interest.” This information follows on the heels of Rep. Solomon Ortiz (D-Texas) telling NEWSCHANNEL 5 Wednesday in Brownsville that Ahmed is “on a list of persons (investigators) wanted to talk to and possibly on a list of terrorists.”

How much do you want to bet that someone greased a Mbeki apparatchik's palms for those passports?

The South Texas branch of the ACLU is upset about detaining this fine upstanding woman. I found this link if someone could post it...

The McAllen woman cannot be Aafia Siddiqui -- her age is wrong. South African passport? Two of the four men arrested with Fupi Ghailani were described by the Pak authorities as South African. But it could be that there is just a bunch of bogus or stolen SA passports around.
