Israelis had Boyd figured out
Maybe the FBI should be taking advice from Israel's security forces.AP reports that Daniel Boyd and one of his sons were denied entry into Israel in 2007 to 'visit Muslim holy sites.' Earlier this week, Boyd, two of his sons and four other Muslim men were charged with planning terror attacks against Israel and elsewhere in the region. An eighth man is being sought.
Boyd's wife, Sabrina, told a Raleigh newspaper that he and one of their sons flew to Israel in 2007 to visit Muslim holy sites but were denied entry and detained for two days. That followed a trip Daniel Boyd made with another son, who is not charged, to Israel a year earlier. She denied any malevolent motive for their visits.What happened to shared intelligence?
The U.S. indictment said Boyd and two sons — Zakariya, 20, and Dylan, 22 — traveled to Israel in July 2007 to meet with two of the other defendants but returned home "having failed in their attempt at violent jihad."
An Israeli security official confirmed that members of the Boyd family were denied entry in 2007. He declined to say why they were stopped or provide further details. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not officially made public.
Israeli police and the Interior Ministry, the office in charge of immigration, would not comment.
I guess we're lucky these people (apparently) didn't hook up with the ISM (International Solidarity Movement). Otherwise, there would have been all kinds of calls for them to be admitted to Israel on the Internet.

Israel needs to do more to limit the admission of undesirable persons into Israel with an anti-Israel agenda. There is no reason to extend hospitality to those who hate you and seek your destruction.
I'm sure that the Mossad has quite an extensive file on Boyd. It is just too bad that under the Obama regime they aren't cooperating with the US as they once were.a
