If they're here, they'll probably head for Texas to the president's home area.
It's a high density population state, maybe Dallas-Ft. Worth, or Houston.
It would be a good propaganda hit.
Any concern?
Both Fox News and NBC News reported that CIA sources revealed that a half-dozen Iraqis – possibly carrying chemical and biological weapons – are being sought in the border region.
According to Fox, the Iraqi suspects may have "toxic materials" requiring temperature controls. A Homeland Security official involved with border security said that toxic chemicals requiring temperature control could mean either biological or even radiological materials.
The network cited sources claiming the Iraqis sought to pay human smugglers to escort them across the border, and authorities were reacting to tips from the public and ongoing undercover investigations.
Sources in the northern Mexican state of Tamaulipas told NBC News that agents of the national security agency were seeking six Iraqi nationals with German passports.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said police in the municipality of Valle Hermoso, some 60 miles southwest of Brownsville, Texas, were informed on the search on Monday.
The report said Mexico intercepted five Iraqis with German papers who tried to illegally enter the U.S. a month ago. They were ultimately deported back to Germany.
Gov. Bill Richardson says federal officials told him they didn't plan on raising the security code to red, the highest level.
