Terror Suspect Nabbed After Working On NYC Landmark
* FBI: Man Was A Painter On George Washington Bridge May 4, 2005 5:31 pm US/Eastern NEW YORK (CBS) A routine traffic stop leads to the arrest of a terror watch list suspect in our area. What's more, CBS 2 has learned 39-year-old Sami Ibrahim Isa Ardel Hadi had a valid I.D. to work as a painter on the George Washington Bridge. Hadi was arrested yesterday afternoon by Bergen County Police, say sources, on Route 46 by Ridgefield Park. He was stopped for tailgating. When the officer called-in the North Carolina plates of Hadi's car, the Bergen County Police report indicates the officer was told Hadi was on several federal agency terror watch lists, and there was a stop and hold order on him. The police report also says that Hadi had a valid temporary I.D. to work on the George Washington Bridge. He works for L & L Painting, the subcontractor painting the bridge. The FBI was called and took Hadi and a second person in the car into custody, though the second person was not on the terror watch list. L and L Painting is based in Hicksville, says it could not comment because it works for the Port Authority, and the Port Authority says it's been told Hadi is not on a terror watch list. But the PBA union for Port Authority Police confirmed that a painter on the GWB has indeed been arrested and was on the terror watch list. The PBA said Hadi was on the list because his visa had expired and authorities could not locate him. PBA officials added, "What scares us is that workers on the Port Authority's bridges and tunnels have no security background checks. They say they've complained about this since 9/11.
