TERROR<BR>------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>A
congressional probe and the boasts of an al-Qaida leader
indicate <BR>terrorists have already crossed the border and
infiltrated the United <BR>States -- and their weapons of
choice may include dirty bombs, says <BR>Investor's Business
Daily (IBD).<BR><BR>The Times of London reported last month that according to
International <BR>Atomic Energy Agency figures, smugglers have
been caught 300 times <BR>since 2002 trying to traffic
radioactive materials that could be used <BR>to make a dirty
bomb. Most incidents apparently were in Europe, <BR>but
considering our porous border, the United States is clearly at
<BR>great risk.<BR><BR>"Suspected terrorists are hiding inside the United States
and they <BR>got here by sneaking across the Mexican border,"
according to an <BR>investigative report by KRGV-TV in south
Texas.<BR><BR> o A five-page section of a new analysis
from House Homeland <BR>
Security Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Michael McCaul
<BR> (R-Texas), is devoted to terrorist
infiltration.<BR><BR> o It documents the discovery by
law enforcement officials of
<BR> terrorist paraphernalia near the Rio
Grande.<BR><BR> o The McCaul report found that hundreds
of illegal aliens from
<BR> the Middle East were successfully
smuggled over the border
<BR> into the U.S., including members of the
terrorist organization
<BR> Hezbollah.<BR><BR>
o The FBI reports that citizens from nations with an
al-Qaida <BR> presence are
learning Spanish and changing their names to make
<BR> them Hispanic-sounding in order to pose
as Latin Americans and
<BR> cross the border more
easily.<BR><BR> o Hugo Chavez's regime in Caracas has
even provided identity
<BR> documents to nationals of countries
that support terrorists;
<BR> several Pakistanis recently were caught
at the border with <BR>
such fraudulent Venezuelan papers, the report noted.<BR><BR>Federal law
enforcement authorities estimate that only between 10
<BR>percent and 30 percent of illegal aliens get caught crossing
the <BR>border. Can there be any greater priority for
Homeland Security <BR>in America than full control of who gets
into this country?<BR><BR>Source: Editorial, "Border Terror," Investor's
