Controversial Muslim Cleric Caught Being Smuggled Into U.S. Over Mexico Border

U.S. border guards got a surprise when they searched a Mexican BMW and found a hardline Muslim cleric - banned from France and Canada - curled up in the boot.

Said Jaziri, who called for the death of a Danish cartoonist that drew pictures of the prophet Mohammed, was being smuggled into California when he was arrested, along with his driver Kenneth Robert Lawler.

The 43-year-old was deported from Canada to his homeland Tunisia in 2007 after it emerged he had lied on his refugee application about having served jail time in France.

Jaziri had allegedly paid a Tijuana-based smuggling cartel $5,000 to take him across the border near Tecate, saying he wanted to be taken to a 'safe place anywhere in the U.S.'

According to the court documents, a Mexican guide led Jaziri and a Mexican immigrant over the border fence near Tecate.

They then trekked across the rugged terrain under cover of darkness to a spot popular for drivers who pick up immigrants for smuggling runs into San Diego.

He allegedly told officials he had flown from Africa to Europe, then to Central America and Chetumal, Mexico, on the Mexico-Belize border, where he took a bus to Tijuana.

I hope we send him to the Israelis so they can interrogate him properly without lilly livered morons screaming about his being treated too harshly!

I think, if you return him to Mexico to be QUESTIONED, he would sing like a bird.

Maybe send him nowhere. Set up a TV camera for world broadcast and do to him what they did to Daniel Pearl. We need to quit whining like little bitches when Muslim extremists torture and kill our citizens. We need to laugh in their faces and kill a thousand of them for every one of ours. Then wrap them in hog's hides and send the bastards to their 72 black eyed virgins. That's what General Pershing did! We should give Iran, right now, a demonstration of what their nuclear ambitions will get them! We still owe them for 1979, should a done it then!!
