| Terror Suspect Received Haz-Mat License |
| 2004-07-01 |
| EFL A man who authorities believe may have been part of an Al Qaeda "sleeper cell" obtained a license to haul hazardous materials months after he was identified as a suspected terrorist by the FBI, officials said. In other news: INS announced a new program to give digital cameras to Iranian citizens entering The United States. The FBI identified Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi as a suspected terrorist before the attacks of 2001, the Star Tribune reported in Wednesday’s editions, citing unidentified law enforcement officials. Now, he is just a harding working truck driver tryin’ to raise a family. God bless him. |

| #1 "...obtained a license to haul hazardous materials..." In the trucking business, one does not obtain a license to haul "Hazardous Materials". You obtain a license to drive a truck, the HazMat authorization is just an endorsement on the license itself. And, it is no big deal, just pass a test with 75 questions and you're done. They make this sound as if he managed something special. Given the fact that the Feebs and State licensing agencies do not exchange information, I'm not surprised that he was able to do this. I would imagine that there are quite a few others out there they do not know about. Disable or otherwise impair the trucking industry, and you will have brought the American economy to a halt.
