Northern New Jersey Draws Probers' Eyes
Article from Washington post September 18, 2001
In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned
a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.
Those "PEOPLE" in Jersey City were ISRAELIS, try again.
wrong-----the people in Jersey City were muslims.
The Israelis were in Fort Lee.
your hero Shaykh Abdel Rahman----planned the 1993 bombing of the world trade center in his mosque----in Jersey city------that city is a hotbed of Islamic filth
Typical Right-wing half-truth whole lie!
1993 is not 2001, and the Israelis who were observed celebrating in Jersey City were captured in Fort Lee based on the Jersey City witness taking down their license plate number and reporting it to the police who found the car in Fort Lee.
Nice try to lie, but try again.
wrong again muhummad ass licking dog------
they were observed in FORT LEE----the big time celebrations were in the MUSLIM SECTIONS of Jersey city-----among
other places in the USA and far more in the shariah shit holes of northern Africa and south east asia. Your Imam lied again
Repeating your lie will not make it any less a lie.
They were observed in Jersey City and arrested in Fort Lee.
Were Israelis Detained on Sept. 11 Spies?
Maria, who asked us not to use her last name, had a view of the World Trade Center from her New Jersey apartment building. She remembers a neighbor calling her shortly after the first plane hit the towers.
She grabbed her binoculars and watched the destruction unfolding in lower Manhattan. But as she watched the disaster, something else caught her eye.
Maria says she saw three young men kneeling on the roof of a white van in the parking lot of her apartment building. "They seemed to be taking a movie," Maria said.
The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said.
What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said.
She found the behavior so suspicious that she wrote down the license plate number of the van and called the police. Before long, the FBI was also on the scene, and a statewide bulletin was issued on the van.
The plate number was traced to a van owned by a company called Urban Moving. Around 4 p.m. on Sept. 11,
the van was spotted on a service road off Route 3, near New Jersey's Giants Stadium. A police officer pulled the van over, finding five men, between 22 and 27 years old, in the vehicle. The men were taken out of the van at gunpoint and handcuffed by police.
The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens.
