Two men were detained by the FBI in Irvine suspected of having a connection to the terrorists. Between three and six Arabic speaking men were moving out of their apartment. The FBI pulled them over, cuffed them, and took them in for questioning. Agents say they were suspected of being associates of the terrorists who lived in San Diego. ...................................... Earlier OC Register story >From OC Register today: http://www.ocregister.com/news/fbi00919cci7.shtml Investigation brings FBI agents to Irvine apartment complex September 19, 2001 The Orange County Register IRVINE -- FBI agents, following up on "numerous leads across the country," descended on an apartment complex Tuesday night to interview several residents, but no one was arrested, FBI spokesman Stephen Steinhauser said. "There is no reason to believe the hijackers ever lived here or anyone who ever knew them lived here," Steinhauser said. "(Agents) are just following up on leads." FBI officials said they were searching for someone who is not on the government's 200-name watch list but who might have information helpful to the investigation. Agents did not find that person. Instead, they came across several male college students from Yemen and a woman. The students said they attend Irvine Valley College, Chapman University, Orange Coast College and the University of Phoenix. Abdulla Saeed, 20, said he and several of his cousins were frisked by FBI agents who showed three or four pictures of men and asked whether they looked familiar. Saeed said they did not. He said he was taken aback by the questioning and the search of his BMW, which bore American flags. Saeed said he plans to return to Yemen this week. He added that family members in Yemen have been worried about his safety after the terrorist attacks. "My mother calls crying all the time on the phone," he said. Steinhauser said agents are checking hundreds of similar leads in Orange County. Immigration and Naturalization Service officers present at the complex on Saint Vincent declined to comment. Register staff writers Valeria Godines, Tiffany Montgomery, Rachanee Srisavasdi and Maria Sacchetti contributed to this report. ............................. dan Daniel C.
