The FBI had the fingerprints of 30-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan on file, court records say, after they were lifted from an unexploded bomb. Alwan was admitted into the United States in 2009. The FBI matched the fingerprints to Alwan in January.
Alwan was charged last week with conspiracy to kill a United States national, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 23, is charged in the same plot with attempting to provide material support to terrorists and knowingly transferring, possessing or exporting a device designed or intended to launch or guide a rocket or missile.
I am truly surprised to read that this has happened.
I visit the United States six or seven times a year. As an alien I (quite rightly) have to go through the immigration controls at the port of entry – where my photograph and my finger prints are taken. I have absolutely no objection whatsoever to this.
But when I read stories like the one above, I wonder just what happens to all those fingerprint records so assiduously taken by your immigration officers.
who was president of us in 2009?
To GB Jew-#1- I’m was really surprised that when you stated that you visit here six or seven times/year. In your posts, you are always giving us the needle, and I see that you have again done so. Do you think that your immigration and customs procedures are so air tight, with all of the radical meshuganahs in the UK? For example, the news showed many Muslims in London protesting our killing of Bin Ladin. The British Bobbies accorded kid glove treatment to those jihadist demonstrators!
