A Tanzanian whose name was found on a letter in an Afghanistan cave has been arrested on immigration charges, 11 months after he came to the United States for commercial pilot training, authorities said Wednesday. The FBI said there was no evidence to suggest Issaya Nombo, 44, was involved in terrorist activity and said his name may have even ended up on the letter after someone saw it on the Internet. "It is premature, grossly so, to say he's connected with 9/11," said Frank Perry, the agent in charge of the FBI's Raleigh office. "There is no information whatsoever to link him with terrorism."
It'd also be grossly irresponsible not to pick him up, question him closely, and - just to be safe - kick his ass and the rest of him with it out of the country. |
