Federal officials, Congressmen, even Texas’ Governor believe terrorists have crossed the Mexico-U.S. border

November 2, 2006

A Texas television station has been contending for more than a year that suspected terrorists are hiding inside the U.S. and entered this country by sneaking across the Mexican border. These are acts, the station said, that the federal government doesn’t want the public to know.

In early November, the station said, its reports were confirmed by a new government report.

Pakistani investigative reporter Hamid Mir brought in even more information, after interviewing some of America's most dangerous terrorist enemies. The Al Qaeda commander he talked to gave a grim warning that another attack  on America is coming very soon.”

Abu Daawood said "We can attack America anytime," adding that Muslims must leave America.

The reporter said, "Abu Dawood told me, 'We are determined to attack America again and  that attack will be bigger than 9/11."

The commander said the attack will be led by Adnan El Shukrijumah, a man who goes by many aliases but is called Brother Adnan by his terrorist friends. Adnan is wanted by the feds for possible terrorist threats against the U.S. He's considered armed and dangerous.

According to the reporter, his source said Brother Adnan "had smuggled some dangerous materials from the Mexican border into the United States of America."

Fred Burton, a  former special agent for the U.S. State Department, said “It's the kind of scenario that worries everybody,” Burton has spent much of his federal career studying terrorists, predicting their next move. He now does the same thing for a private intelligence agency in Austin.

Burton said the threat "has to be viewed credible, until proven otherwise.” He said the U.S. government is well aware that Al Qaeda's been working hard to get a dirty bomb into the country, in an explosive packed with nuclear materials small enough to carry in a suitcase.

The International Atomic Energy Agency told the London Times in October that smugglers have been caught 300 times in the past four years trying to sneak radioactive material into the U.S., which could be used to make a dirty bomb.   

Burton added, "I think if Al Qaeda has a dirty bomb, we would have seen it by now." He says a chemical attack is more likely.

Burton also said that if Al Qaeda really does have a dirty bomb, border cities are much more vulnerable to attack. Terrorists, he said, don't want to get caught. "You'd want to bring that in right across the border, and you'd want to   detonate that as soon as you can," he explains.

The government does know that terror groups like Al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah  are active in Latin America. In fact, members of Hezbolla are already inside the U.S., coming in through the Mexican border. 

The television reporter also learned that the Middle Easterners are changing their Islamic names to Hispanic names, buying fake documents, learning Spanish and posing as Hispanic immigrants.

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo says there's even a training camp in Brazil   teaching Middle Easterners how to blend in to the Mexican culture.

According to government intelligence, Middle Eastern aliens from countries known to harbor terrorists are smuggled to staging areas in places like Venezuela and the tri-border region between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Then  they're smuggled again through Mexico and our border right into the U.S. 

Mexican illegals pay smugglers an average of $2,000. Middle Easterners pay as much as 30 times that amount,  up to $60,000!  

"I don't think they really care who they're bringing across, as long as they   get paid for it," says Texas Congressman Michael McCaul. He put out the report, which also says Islamic terrorist groups may be using Mexico as a refuge.   

Federal law enforcement estimates “only 10 to 30 percent of illegals who cross are actually caught.”

Governor Rick Perry says, "To think that international terrorists have not   already exploited our border is naive."
