Mexican Authorities have arrested a British Arab in the Baja of California,who was wanted by the United States Government in connection to the 9-11 atrocities.
Amer Haykel was picked up in Todo Santos and is currently awaiting extradition to the U.S.
Mexican officials say "The PGR arrested... Haykel, whom US authorities have linked to extremist groups presumably involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York. The suspect, who was born in Beirut and speaks fluent Arabic, English, French and Spanish, was turned over to immigration authorities and taken to Mexico City to determine his legal status."
Haykel wandered into a fire station and was arrested after, "investigative and intelligence work and exchange of information with the US government".
No information has been released regarding his passport or how he gained access to it or his age.
Mexico has been under the gun recently by the United States Milita, "Minutemen", who have been calling for the Bush Administration to enforce total border control between Mexico and the United States and Canada as well. The main argument of the Minutemen has been common knowledge that Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are hiding in Mexico and crossing the border illegally.
Pakistani Arif Ali Durrani was arrested last week in the same area of Baja for the selling of anti-aircraft missles in Mexico. He has since been deported. |
