Russia dumps lunette for flirting with Bad Guys...
Russia on Wednesday deported an American woman suspected of having contacts with Islamic extremists, the Federal Security Service said. A duty officer at the service identified the woman as Megan McRee and said she was placed on a flight to Los Angeles. "Get out and stay out!" The Russian airline Aeroflot confirmed that a passenger by that name was en route to Los Angeles. Officials at the U.S. Embassy could not immediately be reached for comment. "I dunno. I just came on. I'll leave a note for the night shift guy..." According to the security service, the woman had lived in a neighborhood of Moscow for a long period without registering her visa as required by law. The FSB also said she had made contact via the internet with a number of Islamic extremist organizations and proposed various "scenarios" for terrorist actions in the United States. But the state-run TV Rossiya channel later broadcast a report saying that the woman had attempted to contact al-Qaida and the Islamic Brotherhood. The report did not specify what sort of responses she may have received. "Thank you for your enquiry about assisting al-Qaeda in its plot to take over the world. At present we don't have any openings for someone with your qualifications, but we will keep your resume on file for six months, and if anything opens up we'll contact you..." The Rossiya report also said the woman had told authorities she had left the United States several years ago because she was being persecuted by the CIA and that she had lived in Romania before coming to Russia. I'll bet the Romanians were so-o-o-o-o sad when she left... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-01-29 |
