This story about the 6 guys and the INS is apparently a hoax: U.S. Rejects Report of Search for Six Men October 31, 2001 12:09 pm EST WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials on Wednesday said they had nothing to corroborate a newspaper report that federal agents were searching for six men who had been carrying material about a nuclear power plant in Florida and an Alaskan pipeline. Officials said they had no information about a search for the six men, whom The Miami Herald said had been detained in the Midwest but later released even though they were carrying photographs and information on a nuclear power plant in Florida and the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline. "We have absolutely no information at this point in time to substantiate that story," said Russ Bergeron, spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. A federal law enforcement official denied claims in the story that FBI director Robert Mueller was "furious" at the release. "There's nothing to that. He was completely unaware of it. So there's no way he could be furious," the official said. A Justice Department official said "there's no credibility at all to that report." According to the report, police stopped the six men traveling in two cars in an unidentified state over the weekend. In addition to the photographs, they were carrying box-cutters and other "suspicious equipment," it said. The men who hijacked four planes on Sept 11, killing more than 4,800 people and triggering the U.S. war against terrorism, used box-cutters to overpower flight crews. The suspects in the Midwest incident appeared to be from the Middle East and carried Israeli passports, according to the Herald story. The INS decided the passports were valid and they had entered the United States legally and it released the suspects without consulting the FBI, the newspaper said. Florida has three nuclear power plants -- at Turkey Point, south of Miami, St. Lucie, and the Crystal River plant north of St. Petersburg. news1.iwon.com\|top\|10-31-2001::12:17\|reuters.html
