WASHINGTON Hundreds of refugees who sought shelter in the United States during the early years of the Iraq war are coming under fresh scrutiny from US government security officials for possible links to al-Qaida's affiliate in Iraq.
FBI Director Robert Mueller surprised some terrorism experts Thursday when, in response to a question about threats inside the United States, he said the FBI was closely monitoring al-Qaida's Iraq-based offshoot. The group has killed thousands in Iraq but had not been viewed as a threat inside the United States.
Mueller said the possible threat rested with "individuals who may have been resettled here in the United States that have had some association with al-Qaida in Iraq."
Lawmakers did not follow up on the remark, but a US intelligence official confirmed that multiple agencies were working to determine whether the group posed a domestic threat. A second US official said the focus was primarily on Iraqis who arrived in the early years of the war. Security screening was not as rigorous then as it became in 2007, when the US significantly increased the pace of resettlement

...finding them won’t be the problem, it’s what Dumbazz would do with them.
Do we have another case of the system worked here ? They resettle all these folks here without any idea of who they are and what their backgrounds are. Isn’t Catholic Charities the organization that brings all these folks here ? These are more folks brought into America,per Catholic Charities MINNEAPOLIS - In a series of arrests carried out Monday morning in the Twin Cities and Nashville, Tennessee, federal and local authorities broke up a human trafficking ring that provided underage prostitutes.
A federal indictment unsealed Monday morning in Nashville details the sex trafficking operations of 29 Somali men and women tied to the Somali Outlaws, Somali Mafia and Lady Outlaws gangs, which are all connected and based in Minneapolis. Of the 29 indicted, 12 were arrested Monday morning in the Twin Cities, eight in Nashville and six were already in jail in various locations. Three remain at-large and wanted.

Catholic Charities has no idea of whom they are bringing here. The terrorists do not need to sneak in, they are relocating them here and we are paying for it all
And profiling, too. I wonder why the Dems aren't up in arms about this? Are the Iraqis registered Democrats? That may be the easiest way to locate them, just check the new Democrat registrations from 2007 forward.
