HAMILTON -- Two men taken from the Greenwood Village Garden Apartments by FBI agents Monday are being held by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, an FBI spokeswoman said yesterday.

The men, who have not been charged by the FBI in connection with any terrorist investigation, were taken from the upstairs apartment at 228 Norman Court in handcuffs, a neighbor said.

Didn't Pervez also work at a newsstand? Where was this newsstand located?

Yes, he worked for "S & S News," at newsstands in both Trenton and Jersey City.

S & S News apparently went out of business in late August.

They need to check appartment with a "Boink" right away. Boink is slang name of machine that detects Bio, spores, etc

Name is ... interesting. But thought I heard from some media source that there is no machine capable of detecting airborne anthrax spores.

(Not that I take everything I hear from the mainstream media as gospel.)

I should have mentioned, both those newsstands were located at train stations -- one in Trenton and one in Jersey City.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Crazy enough to be possible in this new world of ours.

Maybe his past employment gave him ideas. If I were a terrorist, and I wanted to give someone inhaled anthrax, I'd for sure want them to take some nice, deep inhalations of it. Those little magazine inserts might be one way to go. And note, they are saying (so far) that they've found no anthrax in her apartment, yet they did find some on the clothing she was wearing when admitted into the hospital. People browse at newsstands all the time, and might not necessarily buy the magazines they browse.

If he is (one of) the culprits, would the media could still call it "domestic terrorism"?

In a way it is because the Jihad has been planned and carried out from within the US by Muslim groups living in the US for several years now and most likely by Muslim US citizens.

You're talking about the New York hospital worker, Kathy Nguyen, who died of inhalation anthrax? I don't think the environmental tests are back yet on the Hamilton Square woman.

But, true, it does seem an easy way to spread anthrax -- stick a little powder in a magazine or newspaper insert. Inefficient way of infecting many people at one time, though.

Well they would probably try. . .. .

. . .he is just 'planted' and for reasons, he did not disclose. . .

You're right! And boy am I glad that the FBI is closing in on those Right-Wing Islamic Republican Extremist Jihadist Conservative Domestic Terrorists.

Now, the world can be made safe for Socialism Democracy. ;^)

I posted an article the other day about an experimental machine/instrument that showed good promise in early testing. Can't find the article now. It's probably in the 'anthrax scare list.'

'Planted' is a good choice of word.

My thoughts exactly. She might have picked up a paper he left on her subway train, too. People throw out newspapers in a day or two.

Bye bye evidence, unless anthrax shows up in workers in newspaper recycling plants.

A newspaper left on a subway could infect quite a few riders. Newspapers are thrown out in a day or two, so the evidence is gone, too.

America could use a big break ... like arresting anthrax mailers.

It would also demoralize our enemies.

More discussion of the newspaper route for anthrax dssemination is at EXCLUSIVE: PRE-9/11 ‘TERRORIST' MAIL CAME FROM INDY

I'm also wondering if the cowards aren't contaminating newspapers with anthrax....Leaving the papers on subways for people like poor Kathy Nguyen to handle on their way home from work.
Newspapers are usually thrown out within a day or two, so even if the person brought the paper home, the evidence would be gone, before the person gets sick.
