"...walked across the border from Mexico into California."

I know, reading that makes you want to shake your head in disbelief.

alright, so this guy is 19 NOW, and he walked across the border from MX to CA, I assume from Venezuela where he was born. In addition, figure that he has Lebenese connections as it says in the paper.

So this kid is born in Venezuela, travels to Lebenon and makes connections (Hizzbolah?), someone is funding this whole thing. They fund his trip from Venezuela to California, his trip from California to NY, and from NY to Tenn.

That is a lot of globe trotting, a lot of $$$, and a lot of shady connections for a 19 year old.

Burned-out car paints broader picture

No pics, but the video link shows the burned out car from many angles. I'd say the car hit the pole at about 15 MPH. Here's the story:

" FBI agents say their investigation has moved beyond corruption at the DMV and into arson.

On Action News Five, we showed you pictures of the car found early Sunday morning. It's driver, Katherine Smith, had been burned to death inside. Witnesses reportedly say the car was on fire before it collided with a utility pole on Highway 72 in Fayette County.

FBI agents say it was no accident and their suspicions grow with new information.

"The entire inside of the vehicle was incinerated," says agent Phillip Thomas. "Yet the gas tank wasn't ruptured. So, that's unusual."

The primary reason for suspicion: Smith's scheduled appointment the next day in Federal Court on charges she conspired to sell false driver's licenses to five men with ties to the Middle East.

"They were going to use these licenses with fictitious names to get additional ID in other parts of the country," says Thomas." The one part of the country also connected to at least one of these men... New York City - and the World Trade Center.

Action News Five received a fax from a New York plumbing company, confirming that one of the men, Sakhera Hammad, had worked in the basement of the World Trade Center several times. He was laid off soon after September 11th.

To make matters more complicated - The FBI can't even confirm exactly who these men are, for sure, admitting that even these names we were given may be false.

"These people are illegal aliens and they can give us any names because they don't have documentation," says Thomas.
