Six Islamic terrorists are in U.S. carrying Israeli passports

WASHINGTON -- Islamic insurgents operating in the United States have entered the country with forged Israeli passports.

U.S. security officials said the Israeli passports were discovered in the investigation that immediately followed the Sept. 11 suicide attacks on New York and Washington. They said the passports were either stolen or forged.

Stolen or forged. An interesting discovery without examining them. But stolen should be out of the question, as by inspection the picture in the passport must have matched the person carrying it. So we are left asking it if was forged.

The FBI believes that six Arabs from the Middle East are now holding Israeli passports, Middle East Newsline reported. They have stopped Israeli nationals coming into the United States and have detained several of them.

Note also in the original story the INS denied the entire story.

Law enforcement officials are concerned that agents were sent by Saudi fugitive Osama Bin Laden intend to launch a new series of attacks on strategic U.S. targets. These include nuclear plants and pipelines.

In Vienna, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency today urged world leaders to safeguard radioactive materials, and called for strict new controls to prevent a nuclear catastrophe.

Mohamed El-Baradei told reporters the willingness of terrorists to commit suicide and inflict massive damage makes the possibility of a nuclear-related attack much more likely now.

"We need to act quickly to protect ourselves," he said.
