A Syrian citizen born in Kuwait, whom the FBI considers a major terrorism suspect, is to be deported to Syria. A federal judge in Buffalo, New York, sentenced Nabil Al-Marabih to eight months in prison for violating U.S. immigration regulations. He has already been in jail for 11 months, and therefore, instead of serving additional time, he will soon be deported. Canadian authorities arrested Mr. Al-Marabih in June 2001 for attempting to enter the U.S. through the Niagara Falls border. After being released on bail, he managed to cross the border. The FBI arrested him in Chicago last September during a nationwide manhunt. The FBI stated in court documents that they believe Mr. Al-Marabih assisted in planning the September 11 terrorist attacks. However, the FBI failed to provide sufficient evidence to justify prosecuting him.
