The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is searching for five men who are reportedly of Middle Eastern descent and may have illegally entered the United States last week. The FBI has asked the American public to assist in locating these individuals. Information obtained through terrorism-related investigations suggests that these men likely entered the U.S. through Canada about a week ago. FBI officials state it is unclear whether these individuals entered the U.S. collectively or separately. Canadian officials do not confirm that these individuals crossed the border from Canada but say that the Canadian police are cooperating with the FBI in this investigation. It is reported that the names of these individuals have come up in connection with several terrorism cases, although they have not been directly linked to any terrorist actions. They may simply be illegal immigrants seeking a better life in the U.S., but the FBI wants to locate and question them. Their names and photos have been posted on the FBI's website, although it is said that their names may not be real. It is unclear which countries these individuals are from, but the names of one or two of them resemble Pakistani names. Security measures by U.S. officials are particularly focused on several major cities, especially New York, where tens of thousands gather in Times Square to celebrate the New Year.
