_____ WND Exclusive _____ HOMELAND INSECURITY Alert for terror suspect at border Border Patrol searches for Muslim convert, U.S. military deserter _____ Posted: November 10, 2010 9:11 am Eastern C 2010 WorldNetDaily Masood Kahn WASHINGTON - A be-on-the-lookout alert has been issued by the Department of Homeland Security to Border Patrol agents for a Muslim convert and U.S. military deserter who landed in Guadalajara, Mexico, Oct. 18 and is expected to attempt entry into the U.S. The alert was sent Monday afternoon about Masood Kahn, also known as Masood Ahmad Kahn Mohammad or Ahmad Mohammad. Kahn, 29, was reportedly born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and is a naturalized U.S. citizen and carries a U.S. passport. The alert says he was asking how to damage armored vehicles before he deserted the military. The FBI has requested assistance from the Border Patrol in its search for Kahn. The report is a reminder of the continuing terrorist threat posed by the unsecured border with Mexico. A 2006 congressional report on border threats, titled "A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border <http://www.house.gov/sites/members/tx10_mccaul/pdf/Investigaions-Border-Rep ort.pdf> " and prepared by the House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations, indicated that 1.2 million illegal aliens were apprehended in 2005 alone, and 165,000 of those were from countries other than Mexico. Approximately 650 were from "special interest countries," or nations the Border Patrol defines as "designated by the intelligence community as countries that could export individuals that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism." (Story continues below) According to the Department of Homeland Security's 2008 Yearbook of Immigration Studies <http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/yearbook/2008/ois_yb_2008.pdf > , from the Office of Immigration Statistics, federal law enforcement agencies detained 791,568 deportable aliens in fiscal year 2008 - and 5,506 of them were from 14 "special-interest countries." The State Department lists the following as "special-interest countries": Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.
