Report: Suspected Terrorist Sneaks in From Mexico, Captured, and Released on Bail

Two men of Bangladeshi origin were caught by Customs and Border Protection illegally crossing the US-Mexico border last June and admitted they were members of a terrorist organization that allied with Bin Laden against America.Suspected Terrorist Sneaks in From Mexico, Homeland Lets him Go

Now, it appears at least one of those men is free after posting bail and claiming asylum. And the Department of Homeland security has no idea where he is.

The information is according to a report this week by Pajamas Media, which gives some background on these suspected terrorists:

“The two men, Muhammad Nazmul Hasan and Mirza Muhammad Saifuddin, were intercepted near Naco, Arizona, not long after they had crossed the border on June 25, 2010. During their interrogation, one of the men admitted that they were members of Harakat-ul-Jihad-i-Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B), which was designated a terrorist organization by the United States in February 2008.”

The State Department designated HuJI-B as a terrorist organization in 2008. The group has a long history of deadly bombings against India, and wages Jihad alongside other terrorist organizations with the goal of a global caliphate. According to Long War Journal, the terrorist group HuJI-B operates by recruiting from:

“Madrassas, or religious schools, in Bangladesh and are trained in al Qaeda and Taliban camps Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Bangladeshi terror group plays a crucial role in training jihadists from southern Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Brunei and provide[s] manpower for al Qaeda’s affiliates in Jammu and Kashmir, Afghanistan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Chechnya.”

Suspected Terrorist Sneaks in From Mexico, Homeland Lets him GoSo we have to ask the question, if a self-proclaimed terrorist is in the United States illegally, wouldn’t deportation at a minimum be a better option than releasing him on bail?

Earlier this week, PJ Media’s Patrick Poole met with a national security official with direct knowledge of the case who reportedly said of the possible terrorist-at-large:

“That this guy was allowed out on bond is criminal. We don’t have the slightest idea where he is now. If he sets off a car bomb in Tucson or Phoenix, or shoots up a shopping mall or elementary school somewhere, there will be a lot of finger-pointing. But nobody seems that concerned about it now. And this is not the first time something like this has happened.”

While an attack remains a real concern, the odds are against a lone wolf attack. The bigger and more immediate problem is the porous nature of the border for enemies of the U.S., and the lack of effective policies when it comes to illegal crossings by those with terrorist ties.

Fox News reported last year on a Somali smuggling ring that brought hundreds of individuals into the U.S. through Mexico. Some of those Somalis were allegedly affiliated with the Al Shabaab terrorist organization. Individuals with ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, and even Al Qaeda are believed to have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico, or attempted to do so.

While every American strips down and get in humiliating security lines at airports, our enemies remain well-aware of the wide open, 2,000-mile-long point of entry at our southern border.

      And because of the incompetency of the progressives, when the conservatives come into power, they have to deal with that incompetency. The left will say they didn’t have terrorists when they were in power, but now, terrorists are blowing up cars and shooting our kids.
      Had Clinton done away with OBL when he had the many chances, we probably would not have had 9/11, which GW had to deal with.

      “Two men of Bangladeshi origin were caught by Customs and Border Protection illegally crossing the US-Mexico border last June and admitted they were members of a terrorist organization that allied with Bin Laden against America.”

      And you can be fairly certain they were released on bond because someone was so gullible as to believe not to do so would make him/her a racist.

      OTM’s (Other than Mexicans), as this article states, have been coming into the US in sizeable numbers these last few years, so when it is claimed “lone wolves” are low threats to commit terrorism, do they not understand that there has probably been the formation of sleeper terror cells here who have also crossed the border that are all set-up ready to go to work in reprisal for an attack on Iran or something else just as significant to them?

      Why the terrorists have not committed terrorist attacks by crossing the border is probably due to the fact that they fear the border would then be closed and their access to the US would be stymied as well. The open southern border is a gaping hole the terrorist could easily use to bring in arms, ammo and explosives anytime they want to and they undoubted already have done just that.

      I’ve been warning now for six years that our next LARGE attack will be traced as a Mexico/US border crossing. I’ve also pointed out previously that Bush would be impeached if it happened. You can be assured Obama would be impeached if it happens during his tenure.

      That’s a great idea. Set up FOBs 10-15 miles apart, along known trafficking routes… Outfit the FOBs with those little slingshot gliders for aerial recon, staffed with a platoon-sized military force supported by a small contigent of DoD contractors… The platoon would run irregularly scheduled patrols using up-armored mechanized assets… I imagine that would lock down the border pretty quick, and wouldn’t be terribly expensive.

And when ANY illegal trespasser makes statements about being part of ANY terrorist organization, they should IMMEDIATELY be flown to Guantanamo and placed in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT…. BEFORE DHS is notified. That way… DHS will be PRECLUDED from screwing up the questioning and prosecution of these dangerous suspects.
