Slipped right through the cracks....

U.S. officials confirmed that a few weeks ago, the FBI detained an Arab man in Minnesota when he tried to seek flight simulator training for a large jetliner.

Officials said the FBI had no reason to charge him at the time and instead began deportation proceedings. Those proceedings were ongoing when the attacks took place Tuesday. He was being held but was not cooperating with the FBI.

Two French media reports in recent days have said that the FBI queried French authorities about a French-Algerian man who was taking flying lessons in Boston when he was arrested three weeks ago.

Europe 1 radio said U.S. authorities failed to heed a response identifying him as a possible terrorist with links to bin Laden, who U.S. authorities have told NBC News was almost certainly the organizer behind Tuesday’s attacks. It said the information “apparently got lost in the enormous American police machinery.”
The FBI had no comment on the reports or the detention of the man in Minnesota.
