Jihadist who fought against Americans in Fallujah eluded border checkpoints, sneaked into Port Newark http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/05/jihadist-who-fought-against-americans-in-f allujah-eluded-border-checkpoints-sneaked-into-port-newark.html Near "the kind of oil refineries that Osama bin Laden talked about blowing up as part of a global-chaos plot in papers found in his Pakistan hideout." "Stowaway at Port Newark sparks terror probe," by Philip Messing in the New York Post, May 23: (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/stowaway_has_port_on_terror_alert_E6i2U7 9BQ0tqsNpJlV3vnI) A shadowy man suspected of fighting against US soldiers in Iraq has sparked a far-flung terror probe after entering New York Harbor as a stowaway aboard a freighter and taking up residence in a fenced-off Port Authority warehouse, The Post has learned. Asem Ellbahnsany Haroon, 26, managed to easily infiltrate Port Newark -- where there are just the kind of oil refineries that Osama bin Laden talked about blowing up as part of a global-chaos plot in papers found in his Pakistan hideout. "There have been reports . . . that indicate al Qaeda is trying to use explosive to blow up oil tankers to disrupt the world's economy. What's right next door to Port Newark? All of these oil refineries that line the highway there," said one law-enforcement source. Authorities are now scrambling to figure out how Haroon managed to elude border checkpoints at the port -- and they are also nervously wondering whether he came here with others who have yet to be caught.... "When I first saw him, he was so weak," a law-enforcement source said. "But he might be a terrorist and possibly be a threat because none of the answers he gave ever made any sense." Haroon told investigators that he was an Iraqi citizen who had arrived at Port Newark two weeks earlier on an unspecified Italian freighter. It turns out he's an Egyptian who was once denied a visa to enter the United States. Federal authorities told a judge that Haroon "had fought as an insurgent against the American forces in Fallujah. Sources could not say whether he was suspected of being a member of the Taliban or al Qaeda, although it does not appear he was on any international terror "watch list."
