5th man arrested in Baltimore; deportations likely
2005-10-20
A fifth man has been arrested during an investigation into a possible terrorism threat to a highway tunnel this week, according to court documents. Maged Hussein, who owns an east Baltimore convenience store that was raided by federal authorities on Tuesday, was taken in to custody on a handgun charge, the documents showed. Four other men were detained Tuesday on immigration charges and will be deported, according to Mark Bastan, acting special agent in charge at Immigration and Customs Enforcement here.

One of those men, 30-year-old Mohamed Ahmed Mohamady Ismail, came up in a tip about the purported tunnel plot from a source who is in custody in the Netherlands, Bastan said. The tipster said several men would drive vehicles filled with explosives through a Baltimore-area tunnel. The three other men picked up at the same time as Ismail were identified as Mohamed Mohamed-Abdelhamed, 38, Suied Mohamad-Ahamad, 25, and Ahmad Al Momani, 58. Al Momani is from Jordan, and the others are from Egypt, Bastan said. Each had failed to show up for separate deportation proceedings, Bastan said. "Technically, they were fugitives," he said. "Their deportations are just being acted on."

#5  I have a scrap of a note lying about that I made while listening to a National Public Radio report (U.S. version of the BBC). Sometime ago over 150,000 had been deported by the INS (so I gues it was before Homeland Security swallowed them up) specifically after being sought and caught for overstaying visas and such.

#4  I thought this was a false alarm. Needless harassment of the ROP. Do I need sarc tags?

#2  The INS is deporting illegal aliens? When did this start? Shouldn't there be an ACLU lawsuit against this practice?
