| Six men detained in Baltimore terror probe |
| 2002-09-12 |
| Police and federal authorities in Baltimore detained six men from predominantly Muslim nations as part of an investigation into possible links with terror groups. All six were taken into custody on Sept. 10 after Baltimore city police discovered suspicious photos, notebooks and other written material, some of it in Arabic, inside their apartment. Investigators were having the Arabic texts translated. Five of the men, described as natives of Afghanistan, Pakistan or Somalia, faced possible deportation by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service for alleged visa violations. A sixth man from Morocco was in state custody on a separate matter. I'm sure somebody will soon be bitching about these Unfair and Unjustified Detentions of People Who Could By Some Stretch of the Imagination Be Totally Innocent™. But since I live in Baltimore, it won't be me. |
