Judge rules government may restrict access to evidence in case tied to bin Laden

NEW YORK (CNN) ~ A federal judge ruled g VIDEO ARCHIVE CNN's Kathleen Koch reports Monday that the government has the right to restrict access to evidence in the contempt and on the anniversary of the in Africa perjury trial of JJiab Mohamed Ah', an Egyptianborn man charged with lying to the grand jury investigating the alleged worldwide terror Windows Media 28K 80K network of Osama bin Laden.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Bianco argued that the protective order was needed to prevent release of information to the media or anyone other than the defendant and his attorneys, saying that a release could harm the government's ongoing investigation into the bin Laden network. Bianco said the information included the results of house searches in the U.S. and abroad as well as banking and telephone records connected to the defendant. A protective order has been in place in the embassy bombing case from the beginning.

Judge Lewis Kaplan agreed with the defense's argument that tying Ali's case to the embassy bombing case was not a basis for issuing the protective order, but he said the government has shown enough cause to restrict access for other reasons. Ali has not been charged in the bombing.

Report: Foreigners linked to terror tricked INS By Donna Leinwand, USA TODAY WASHINGTON — At least half of the 48 Muslim radicals linked to terrorist plots in the USA since 1993 manipulated or violated immigration laws to enter this country and then stay here, an analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies says.

War on terror •

A look at how the terrorists .entered.the. U.S

The terrorists used tourist, student and business visas, requests for amnesty and asylum, sham marriages and lies to trick Immigration and Naturalization Service officials into allowing them to stay in the USA, according to the report, which the non-partisan center will release today. Even when the terrorists did little to hide violations of visa requirements or other laws, INS officials failed to enforce the laws or to deport the offenders, the report says. "Every aspect of the U.S. immigration system has been penetrated by terrorists, so our response must be equally broad," says Steven Camarota, director of research for the center. "Clearly our immigration system is critically important to preventing attacks on U.S. soil. But it doesn't have to be foolproof. If you just catch some of the people, you can often cause a large conspiracy to unravel." The study found that at the time they committed their crimes, 12 of the 48 were illegal immigrants. At least five others had lived in the USA illegally, and four others had committed significant immigration violations. Others were here legally but should have been rejected for visas because they fit U.S. immigration laws' profile of people who are likely to overstay their visas, the report says. The report's unflattering portrayal of the INS is the latest blow to an agency that Congress has targeted for reorganization, largely because of the agency's failure to enforce immigration laws and keep track of immigrants and visitors. The INS does not have enough people to investigate and arrest all visa violators, agency spokesman Russ Bergeron says. There are 1,950 immigration agents nationwide and an estimated 7 million to 8 million undocumented immigrants — about one agent for every 4,100 immigrants, Bergeron says. The INS does not have a system to monitor visa expirations and does not track the whereabouts of foreign tourists. "When you look at the wide range of important tasks, and the number of INS agents is smaller than most metropolitan police departments, it becomes rather obvious that there is a serious lack of resources," Bergeron says. The analysis of the 48 men linked to terrorist plots here indicates that INS and consular officials do not sufficiently scrutinize visa applicants. It also says U.S. agencies and foreign governments do not communicate about terrorism watch lists and intelligence reports, and adds that the United States lacks immigration enforcement within the nation's borders.
