- TUCSON - A border watch group
claims it successfully sneaked into the United States carrying a fake weapon
of mass destruction.
-
- American Border Patrol spokesman Glenn Spencer told the
Arizona Daily Star the test was intended to show how easy it would be for
terrorists to sneak deadly weapons across the border.
-
- Mike King, a former Army sniper who was assigned to Fort
Huachuca as a National Guardsman after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,
said he's hoping the demonstration will help convince government leaders
that the country's southern border is a national security risk.
-
- "I mean, you have people with backpacks, bottles
of water and zero training coming across. I just wanted to show how easy
this is for somebody with training to come into this country," said
King, who now works as a technical director for the border-watch group.

- Two members of the group carried a suitcase in a backpack
