NATION : 5 in N.Y. on Terror Suspect’s List
NEW YORK — Law enforcement officials have warned five prominent New Yorkers that their names were found on a list kept by the man accused of killing radical Zionist Meir Kahane, it was reported today.
Rep. Gary L. Ackerman (D-N.Y.), two federal judges, a former assistant U.S. attorney and a columnist for the weekly Jewish Press were on the list, Newsday said.
Some of those on the list found in El Sayyid A. Nosair’s Cliffside Park, N.J., home were involved in the extradition from Venezuela through Brooklyn of terrorist suspect Abdul Atta, a Muslim linked to a terrorist group, the newspaper said.
Neither police nor the FBI would comment on the report.
FBI officials have said they believe that Nosair acted alone when he gunned down Kahane during a Nov. 5 conference in New York City but are still trying to determine if he was backed by a terrorist group.
