A Saudi Arabia-born man believed to have ties to two of the September 11 hijackers was arrested on Thursday near San Diego, federal officials said. Hasan Saddiq Faseh Alddin, 34, was picked up near his home in Vista, California, on immigration violations stemming from two previous domestic violence convictions, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said. Officials did not specify what relationship Alddin, a legal U.S. permanent resident, had with the hijackers who perished in attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon near Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. "We’re committed to taking immediate action on intelligence we obtain to prevent another terrorist attack on American soil," said Mike Unzueta, deputy special agent-in-charge for Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigations in San Diego.
I guess we should be grateful that these morons don’t seem to realize that being in a secret terrorist organizations means you should avoid any actions that might bring attention to yourself. |
