Al Qaeda Terrorist Caught at Border?

Tom Clancy, you are a prophet. Red Rabbit describes a terrorist organization cooperating with the drug lords to sneak operatives over our porous border with Mexico. The Brownsville Herald (HT: Robert Spencer):

Last week’s arrest of a Bangladeshi immigrant trying to illegally enter the country has federal authorities concerned over the vulnerability of the U.S.-Mexico border to infiltration by terrorists.

Federal court records show Fakhrul Islam, age unknown, was arrested Dec. 4 with 13 other undocumented immigrants as they tried to pass through a wooded area east of Brownsville.

The records said a man later identified by Border Patrol agents as a member of the Mara Salvatruchas gang was traveling in the same group as Islam.

The Central American gang has alleged links to al-Qaida....

Islam was not charged with any other offenses and will remain in federal custody until he is deported and returned to Bangladesh, said Nancy Herrera, spokeswoman with the Houston office of the U.S. attorney’s Southern District of Texas.

Officials with the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington, D.C., could not be reached for comment by press time Thursday.
