Also: Terror Suspects Freed Due To Lack Of Evidence
Over 70 workers at Paris' Charles de
Gaulle airport have been denied access to sensitive areas of the
airport on security fears. Authorities say they pose a risk to
passengers, because of their ties to international terrorism.
Police eyed over 100 baggage handlers and aircraft washers for
the past few months... during which time some of them allegedly
visited terrorist training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In an interview with the Associated Press, airport official
Jacques Lebrot claimed the crackdown was "linked to terrorism," and
that it came after France's anti-terrorism coordination unit,
UCLAT, recommended such measures as part of an 18-month
investigation.
Investigators said one individual is close to terrorists with
links to al Qaeda... and another was friends with shoe-bomber
Richard Reid.
Terror Suspects Freed
Meanwhile, two brothers originally charged in connection with
theAugust bomb plot against US-bound
airliners flying from London have been freed, after
authorities say they don't have enough evidence to bring them to
trial.
Mehran Hussain, 24, and Umair Hussain, 25, were accused of not
disclosing information about their brother Nabeel, who is
still in custody in connection with the alleged
conspiracy. The two men have refused to comment publicly
about their arrest -- and subsequent release -- unless their
brother is also released.
A new FBI report now suggests the terror suspects planned to
blow those airliners up over US cities, using liquid explosives
brought onboard carryon luggage, to maximize casualties... instead
of over water as originally thought.
