Department of Homeland Security officials confirm that a book glamorizing suicide bombers was found in the Arizona desert earlier this week.
The book, “In Memory of Our Martyrs,” was found Tuesday by a U.S. Border Patrol agent from the Casa Grande substation who was patrolling a popular route for smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants just north of the U.S./ Mexico border.
“In Memory of Our Martyrs” tells the tales of Islamic suicide bombers and other Islamic militants who died carrying out suicide bombings.
The book, according to internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection
documents first uncovered by Fox News, “also includes letters from
suicide attackers to their families, as well as some of their last wills
and testaments.” Each biographical page contains “the terrorist’s name,
date of death, and how they died.”
The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement about the book
saying “at this time, DHS does not have any credible information on
terrorist groups operating along the Southwest border. We work closely
with our partners in the law enforcement and intelligence communities
and as a matter of due diligence and law enforcement best practice,
report anything found, no matter how significant or insignificant it may
seem.”
The book, originally published in Iran, has reportedly been in the desert for at least several days, if not weeks.
From Fox News:
Statements from U.S. officials, including FBI director
Robert Mueller, have raised serious concerns in recent years over “OTMs”
— or illegal immigrants other than Mexicans — who have crossed the
southwest border at alarming rates.Mueller testified before the
House Appropriations Committee in March 2005 that “there are individuals
from countries with known Al Qaeda connections who are changing their
Islamic surnames to Hispanic-sounding names and obtaining false Hispanic
identities, learning to speak Spanish and pretending to be Hispanic.
