FBI Looking for Five Illegal Immigrants

WASHINGTON –– The FBI said Sunday it is looking for five men of Arab ancestry who may have entered the country illegally last week.

The agency said the five men are believed to have arrived in the United States on or before Christmas Eve.

The five men are: Abid Noraiz Ali, Iftikhar Khozmai Ali, Mustafa Khan Owasi, Adil Pervez and Akbar Jamal, all born between 1969 and 1983. The FBI warned that the names and birth dates may be false.

The FBI said it had no indication the men were linked to terrorist activities, but still wanted to question the five "based upon information developed in the course of ongoing investigations."

The FBI said it was working with the Customs, Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Transportation Security Agency to find the men.

All it takes is someone dedicated to the cause and zero resources.

You would need some resources to get people set up; especially if you are talking about long-term sleepers, (i.e. families with children) but, as I said with the freedom we have in this country it would be easer here than anywhere else.

More than you might think, just type it into a search engine and you'll see a number of results. It's certainly not nearly as odd as a number of other names that are popularized in Islamic circles.

A variant of it, Iftikhar, is much more common.

Look at the link in post 247... any info you can pass on will be helpful..... thanks.

Wouldn't it make sense for the FBI to let the public know where most of those leads seem to be located/seem to be the most 'promising'? (unless of course, these 5 have split up to different cities/towns. Even then, the tips for all the cities/towns, could STILL help us track them down)

Remember, the FBI was telling Moose what to do in that regard, and they decided to release the names but not the plates or the description of the car. If one of Moose's guys had not leaked the information FoxNews and CNN would not have been able to leak it to the public by flashing it on the screen as Moose was disclosing what they thought we should have.

From a google search of " Akbar Jamal".

Top of page translates to "Chess Friends".

Akbar seemed to fair pretty good, he was ranked 10th in this club.

Germany???

[mommadooo3]

So the best to hope for, would be a 'leak'?

I'm curious to know if they've had any tips from the Ohio cities, that have the worship dens. These type use some REALLY screwball logic in their attacks...and Ohio's motto is 'the heart of it all'. Plus Toledo is a short jog to Canada, for a 'quick escape'.

This just burns me up...my friend's mother, age 80, wheelchair bound and 4th generation American of Irish descent was literally harrassed while waiting to board a plane to visit her daughter, 3 days before Christmas. These bone-heads made her take her shoes off and x-rayed them, unwrapped her tin full of homemade Christmas cookies, and more. At the same time they let these greasy creeps into our country carte blanche and NOW--oops! Gee, NOW we need to try to locate them...how can we, they all look alike, and they SURE as heck don't look like an 80 year old Irish American grandmother.

The smallpox vaccinations are being givin in London.
Wonder why. London Times reports - military supported quarantine line/ authorized to use force to keep people in or out around major cities in case of outbreaks.

Based on my own experiences, the customs inspection is more rigorous at the border (airport anyway) than before. But then, I'm a white guy.

I'm glad to hear that. I haven't crossed the border since 9/11, but I used to do so frequently. The checks were cursory.

"We'll get those guys next week. Really."

Thank you for making me spew high quality adult beverage product on my keyboard.

Picture this: A ME man sympathetic to the cause moves to the US in 1986 or later. He marries an American woman, plays ideal husband and has children with her. He gets a union job and lives his life. He's kind to everyone and never or rarely gives clues to his allegiances. He feels sorry about putting his children in harm's way, but ultimately agrees that he is doing God's will for the world. Besides, the end goal is not to kill everyone, but to terrorize the American sheeple into surrendering to Islam, by taking time, and chipping away at it until it becomes a reality.

Impossible? No. Widespread? Perhaps not. What do we really know?

Happy New Year!

This reminds me of the case of the hillside strangler....

Newspapers ran his photo on their covers, TV stations, etc. The minute that clown got into L.A. (I believe), the citizens all recognized him. They chased him down and when they caught him, they proceeded to pound him good. Cops had to rescue him from the crowd!

Hopefully we can do it again if enough people are alerted. (Not beat them up, but be so aware that we can spot them ourselves and call law enforcement!;-)

This looks like the second shift at my 7-11.

Man, can they brew a cup of coffee, God love'em.

Seriously, I bet they're not stupid enough to hide in a church.

[Dec31,1999]

A lot of our enemies have been thinking about how best to destroy us for a long time, while we were sleeping.

It behooves us to entertain this notion.

BIG INFO BUMP for Post No. 134

[Gore_ War_ Vet]

They do not take pictures at border crossings.

BS! They've been taking pictures at border crossings for at least 23 years. That mirrored window isn't for personal hygene.

from the FBI.gov web site:

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation is seeking the public's assistance in determining the whereabouts of the following individuals:

ABID NORAIZ ALI, DOB AUGUST 15, 1977
IFTIKHAR KHOZMAI ALI, DOB SEPTEMBER 20, 1981
MUSTAFA KHAN OWASI, DOB NOVEMBER 12, 1969
ADIL PERVEZ, DOB DECEMBER 12, 1983
AKBAR JAMAL, DOB NOVEMBER 1, 1974

The above identified individuals, whose names and dates of birth may be fictitious, are believed to have entered the United States illegally on or about December 24, 2002. Although the FBI has no specific information that these individuals are connected to any potential terrorist activities, based upon information developed in the course of on-going investigations, the FBI would like to locate and question these persons.

The FBI has been working with Homeland Security Agencies (U.S. Customs, INS, TSA) to locate these individuals. The above information has also been disseminated to the appropriate law enforcement agencies around the United States and throughout the world.

Anyone with any information pertaining to these individuals is asked to contact their nearest FBI office. Photographs of the these individuals can be found on the FBI's web site at www.FBI.gov." (122902)

Things we need to ascertain:
1. Country of nationality...Pakistan, Iran, Algeria, Morocco...where? This is important because they will no doubt look for a safe house with others of the same nationality.

2. Where did they cross? Border checkpont, or unmonitored area? If a border checkpoiint, why weren't they stopped?

3. At what part of the country did they cross? Seattle? New York? Minnesota?

4. Did they cross in one vehicle, or did they cross individually? If in one vehicle, what make, model, color, and license plate number?

I suggest everyone listen to newes channels, check web sites and local broadcasts, and report anything new here.

Good Questions, Miss Marple.

They need to tell us more about these guys, if they want the public to help identify them.

"The big deal the government made about smallpox a few weeks ago, including Bush getting a vaccination, leads me to believe they feel a smallpox attack soon is highly likely. "

.....and add to that the fact that if they have this weapon, NOW is the window of maximum opportunity....in a few months, it will be easier (not easy) to defend against because of maturing smallpox vaccination material.
