El Salvador Gang Member: I'm No Terrorist

[Rose Siding]

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - The increasing mobility and violence of gang members who often sneak into the United States has raised concerns that the groups could be exploited by terrorists, feeding claims by local governments that al-Qaida might tap into the region's growing problem.

But U.S. and Central American officials who have investigated the allegations say there is no evidence linking gangs like the Mara Salvatrucha to terrorist activity. Analysts and even gang members themselves say the idea is far-fetched.

Mike Figueroa stood before a room full of U.S. and Central American law enforcement officials and admitted to being a gang member, a criminal, a drug addict, a dealer. But no matter what officials might think, he said, he and others like him will never be terrorists.

Still, Saca opened the conference — a Monday-Wednesday event that included nearly 20 U.S. federal agents from the FBI and U.S. Customs and Immigration — by announcing that he could not rule out the possibility that the country's widespread gang problem had ties to terrorists.
That's a sensitive topic in El Salvador (news - web sites), which as the only Latin American country with troops still in Iraq (news - web sites) was threatened last year on the Internet with terrorist attacks.

1. no, but you are

a lowlife, bloodthirsty piece of shit common criminal with no repect for life...

Even then, I do find it interesting that MS13 is trying to actually distance themselves from terrorists...Laughable, even...

The only difference between you and al-Qaida is that they commit acts for political reasons, while you do it for pure greed and bloodlust.
