| Quote: | Federal officials have charged a Pakistani citizen with immigration violations and said Tuesday the man was detained last month after being spotted taking videotapes of downtown skyscrapers.
Kamran Akhtar was arrested July 20 after being taken in for questioning by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Anthony Maglione. Charges against him were contained in indictments unsealed in federal court Tuesday. |
| Quote: | A federal affidavit unsealed Tuesday said a review of the tape in Akhtar's camera and others in his possession showed film of the downtown Wachovia Bank and Bank of America headquarters buildings, as well as film of other major U.S. cities, including Atlanta; Austin, Houston, Dallas in Texas; and New Orleans.
According to an affidavit by John Scott Sherrill, a federal immigration agent, Akhtar's videotapes showed what appeared to be the Mansfield Dam in Austin and public transportation systems such as Atlanta's MARTA and trolleys in Houston, Dallas and New Orleans
According to the affidavit, the camera was turned sideways at times to film an entire building, and frequently zoomed in on street signs.
Maglione said Akhtar behaved suspiciously when the officer approached to ask him what he was doing as he filmed with his videocamera around noon on a weekday. |

Not quite true. We only think certain Bush supporting members of RF are part of the vast right wing conspiracy network. 
Besides, I did hear this on WSB Radio and CNN today so the story is being reported in the news media.

Me? I'm one of those commie pinko liberals supporting the clear alternative - Kerry/Edwards. Of course, I'm also one of the least opinionated persons you'll ever know.
