One of the most important considerations, in conducting effective terror operations, is to have a save haven from which the terrorist cells can operate in-and-out-of without detection. The two articles, the first from NewsMax.com, and the second from ABC News, should give you reason to believe that Mexico is the perfect, safe haven, Staging Area for terrorist cells to develop and carry out “biggies” in the United States.
Staging Areas in the United States have been, and are being, monitored continuously by our government intelligence agencies since 911. But in its place the Islamic terrorists have found a huge, very safe, home away from home Staging Area “South of the border, down Mexico Way.” It does not take long for terrorist groups to convince some Mexicans the Gringos are now occupying the land their Mexican forefathers owned. Al Qaeda also tries to convince Mexicans the Israelis took away the land from their Islamic ancestors – The land that Israel now occupies under the powerful protective wings of Big Devil America.

WASHINGTON — The United States faces an increased threat of attack from al Qaeda, which will likely try to use battle-hardened associates in Iraq to strike inside the United States, an intelligence report warned on Tuesday.
The unclassified report, part of a classified intelligence estimate delivered to President George W. Bush and Congress, said al Qaeda’s affiliation with al Qaeda in Iraq is helping Osama bin Laden’s militant network recruit operatives.
“We assess that al Qaeda will probably seek to leverage the contacts and capabilities of al Qaeda in Iraq, its most visible and capable affiliate,” said the two-page document of key intelligence judgments on threats facing the U.S. homeland over the next three years

FBI: Iraqis Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande

Brian Ross Reports:
The FBI is investigating an alleged human smuggling operation based in Chaparral, N.M., that agents say is bringing “Iraqis and other Middle Eastern” individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico.
An FBI intelligence report distributed by the Washington, D.C. Joint Terrorism Task Force, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com, says the illegal ring has been bringing Iraqis across the border illegally for more than a year.
Border Patrol officials in the area said they were unaware of the specifics of the FBI’s report, and federal prosecutors in New Mexico told ABCNews.com they had no current cases involving
the illegal smuggling of Iraqis.
The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization “used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative.” Each individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report.
The people to be smuggled would “gather at a house on the Mexican side of the border” and then cross the Rio Grande into the U.S., the report says.
“Unidentified individuals would then transport them to train stations in El Paso, Texas or Belen, New Mexico,” according to the FBI document.
The FBI in New Mexico had no immediate comment.
Until recently, the United States has kept its doors all but shut to the estimated two million refugees fleeing the violence in Iraq.
Until this year, the country had taken in fewer than 800 Iraqi refugees, according to the State Department.
This May, the Bush administration pledged to resettle 7,000 Iraqi refugees here by the end of the year.
