Dodged A Bullet?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Good Decisions, The War On Terrorism

FBI and law enforcement officials told ABC News the five men Ã¢â‚¬â€? four illegal immigrants and one law enforcement fugitive Ã¢â‚¬â€? were arrested Sunday night following a tip to the Newark Police Department. In addition to the subway maps and video, the men had train schedules and $8,000 in $20 and $50 bills.

Who are they?

The men were identified as: Karim Ahmed Abdel Latif Ahmed, 21; his brother Mahoud Ahmed Abdel Latif Ahmed, 19; Ahmed Mohamed Atta, 30; Mohamed Ibrahim Gaber, 34, and Mohamed Palat Anwar Jozain. When Newark authorities converged at the group’s location at 246 Ferry St., Karim Ahmed answered the door and agreed to allow police to enter. Officers said they noticed the maps, and video cameras and Karim and his brother agreed to a search.

So what are we going to do about it?

The men, all of whom claimed to be unemployed civil or chemical engineers, are set to be deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

All I’ll say is this is a very different world we live in now and understanding of the consequences is needed from both sides.

In other words, better safe than sorry.
