Guest Patriot Games Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/7/17/231920.shtml?s=ic FBI: Iraqis Being Smuggled Across Rio Grande Federal officials are investigating reports of a human smuggling ring that is transporting "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico. According to ABC News, an FBI report states the operation is based in Chaparral, N.M., and has been operating for more than a year. Each human smuggled is charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report. Andrea Simmons, the FBI Spokeswoman in El Paso, stated: "We've received numerous calls about an FBI intelligence bulletin that claims Iraqis are being smuggled into the U.S. in our area. The El Paso Division does not have specific information regarding this claim. I would remind you that some intelligence information is provided in a raw, unsubstantiated format. That information can later be proven or disproven but is often provided in this raw format to inform the intelligence community of possible threats." Quote
