Most of the 33 charged came from Middle Eastern nations. The 33 were charged with violations ranging from having false passports to overstaying their visas. They were wanted by the FBI for questioning about what they might know about the hijackings of four planes that hit the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, leaving more than 6,800 people dead or missing. None of those charged with immigration violations has been charged in connection with the hijackings. Two Egyptian citizens were picked up after entering the United States on Sept. 14 at Laredo, Texas. A native of India was picked up for using another person's passport after being admitted into the country in Blaine, Washington, on Sept. 15. Among those who entered the United States right before the attacks were two Pakistani citizens who entered the country on Aug. 24 in Brownsville, Texas. Most of those charged had entered the country in the past few years. A Jordanian citizen had been in the United States since 1989, the longest period of time among those charged. LUFTHANSA PASSENGER HELD In addition, the Justice Department released a previously sealed criminal complaint charging a man who was on a Lufthansa flight from Germany that was bound for Chicago but diverted to Toronto on Sept. 11 with possessing and attempting to use a passport that was obtained by making a false statement. Department officials said Nageeb Abdul Jabar Mohamed Al-Hadi had been held in Canada since Sept. 11 but the United States was seeking his extradition for questioning about the attacks. They said the United States presented the documents at a hearing on Friday in Toronto. In the same court documents filed earlier in federal court in Chicago, the FBI said the defendant was carrying three Yemeni passports with different names, dates of issue and dates of birth. His baggage arrived in Chicago on an earlier flight on Sept. 11. U.S. Customs officials searching the baggage found two Lufthansa crew uniforms, at least one identification card and a piece of paper sewn into the pocket of a pair of pants with Arabic writing, the FBI said. The officials said the man worked for a Lufthansa contractor. 80 PEOPLE IN CUSTODY In all, 80 individuals have been taken into custody by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service on immigration charges in connection with the investigation into the attack, Justice Department officials said. Of the 33, more than 20 were citizens of Middle Eastern countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Syria and Israel. Among the others charged were citizens of Pakistan and India. The names of all of the individuals were blacked out for privacy reasons, Justice Department officials said. Many of the violations were for allegedly staying in the United States on expired visas. A Pakistani citizen entered the United States on a student visa in 1994 but had not attended a university since the fall semester of that year, according to the documents. In addition to those being held on immigration charges, an unspecified number of individuals have been arrested as potential key witnesses, and the FBI wants to question about 200 people who may be suspects, associates of the suspects or potential witnesses. The Justice Department said earlier in the week that 115 people were being held for alleged immigration violations, but officials retracted that number and said the correct figure was 80. It was the first batch of immigration charges to be released. The documents for two individuals were omitted because they are no longer in the custody of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, a Justice Department spokesman said. He was unable to say what had happened to them. ------------------------ Yahoo!
