That's really interesting, to say the least, if the kid's roomate was Pakistani. I distinctly remember reading a thread about two months ago saying that western intelligence and law enforcement agencies were expecting the next terrorist attack in the US to be planned and/or executed by Pakistanis. Ah yes, I saved a copy of the HTML for this thread. Just did a search and this is the thread, posted 7/17/05: It's Pakistan Stupid.

The pieces of this puzzle are starting to fall in place.

"IT'S PAKISTAN STUPID!"
by Paul Sperry
May 6, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET:

"Internal Department of Homeland Security documents I've obtained show officials fear Pakistan-based al-Qaida may be sending terrorists our way, including ones trained in terror camps up and running inside Pakistan -- that's right, Pakistan. The terror-training camps we shut down in Afghanistan are now open for business on the other side of the border, despite Islamabad's apparent efforts to crack down on them.
 
According to the closely held intelligence bulletins, officials worry Pakistanis trained in the camps are trying to sneak into America to carry out terrorist attacks. In fact, U.S. border authorities are reminded each day in shift musters that Pakistanis pose the No. 1 terrorist threat to America right now. And for the past several months, they have been under orders to increase scrutiny of travelers of Pakistani origin.
 
The latest advisory puts authorities on high alert for Pakistani terrorists trying to enter the U.S. with fake British passports.
 
"A number of Pakistani-based young men in their 20's may be traveling to the U.S. with altered United Kingdom passports in order to engage in terrorist-related activity," says the highly sensitive DHS action memo."
