Four Pakistanis Missing After INS Blunder

Federal officials are looking for four Pakistanis who entered the United States illegally after getting off a freighter docked in Norfolk, Va., last weekend, Fox News reported Friday.

Immigration and Naturalization Service district directors and border patrol chiefs nationwide met in a "crisis management" conference call Thursday afternoon to discuss the matter, at which time it was revealed that one of the four men is on a "look-out list," also known as a "terrorist list."

According to sources, some members on Capitol Hill who found out about the incident are "furious."

The Coast Guard is passing out flyers in the Norfolk area listing the missing men as: Ahmad Salman, Thulan Qadar, Mohammad Nazir and Adnan Ahmad.

The Pakistanis were on a Malta-chartered freighter carrying a chemical commonly used in fertilizer when it docked in Virginia last Friday from Novorossisk, Russia. An INS inspector granted the four men "shore leave visa waivers" allowing them to come ashore despite the fact that they had not been granted visas for entry into the U.S. The inspector violated INS rules, which prohibited Pakistanis from receiving waivers after Sept. 11.
