Amid fears of an imminent Islamist attack, the Bush administration has tried to energize the hunt for terrorists by reissuing months-old data about two Canadians thought to have trained as pilots.

The two are among a group of seven people being sought by U.S. authorities who say that terrorists could be planning a major attack “within months.”

The suspects – six men and a woman – pose a “clear and present danger” to the United States in the lead-up to the presidential election in November, U.S. Attorney-General John Ashcroft told reporters in Washington.

Two of the suspects were identified by Federal Bureau of Investigation director Robert Mueller as Canadian citizens. According to FBI information, they are 38-year-old Abderraouf Jdey, born in Tunisia, and 41-year-old Amer El-Maati, born in Kuwait.

Also being sought are Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, 29, Adam Yahiye Gadahn, 26, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, age unknown, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, age unknown, and a woman named Aafia Siddiqui, 32.

anything can happen. If it is not, I fear for them with their names broadcast to the public in these highly volatile times.

They're recycling the right-wing myth that Canada is a Communist state that harbours terrorists.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Said that they would be reducing security at entry points. Does that mean that all seven are in the country?

...turning themselves in to the Canadians is the smartest thing they could do.

If Lord Ashcroft gets his mitts on them, they'll disappear down the same dark rabbit hole that Padilla did.
