By Mike Carter
Seattle Times staff reporter

Federal agents have positively identified one of the men arrested last weekend at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as the individual who was on a terrorism no-fly list, but they have no evidence so far he was involved in any plot and don't feel he posed any threat to the country.

However, a law-enforcement source said agents in the United States and Canada think the arrests may have exposed a human-smuggling ring involving Middle Eastern men who are being sneaked across the border from Canada to the United States.

"That, of course, raises concerns about who else may have been brought into this country illegally who we don't know about and what their intentions are," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
