Macarena Hernandez: 'What, precisely, do terrorists look like?'
Macarena Hernandez, The Providence Journal
IN THE PREDAWN HOURS after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a Saudi radiology
resident, still wearing his blue pajamas, was handcuffed and whisked from
his San Antonio home by FBI agents. While Dr. Al-Badr M.H. Al-Hazmi sat
alone in a New York City jail, local and national media spread his
stoic-looking passport photo across the country. News stories speculated
about whether he was the 20th hijacker or what role he may have played in
the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history.
At the time, I was a reporter for The San Antonio Express-News, and I
remember standing in our newsroom, watching televisions flash Al-Hazmi's
photo and hearing a co-worker near me mutter, "The guy looks like a
terrorist."
But what do terrorists look like?
Do they look like the three North Texas men, all Palestinian-Americans,
charged the other week with collecting or providing materials for terrorist
acts after they bought 80 prepaid cell phones at Wal-Mart?

In the past 150 years, even the past 100 years, most have been white males,
although there have been Asian, Black, and Arab terrorists in lesser
numbers.
Jewish Hagganah and that other Zionist group,
Serbs,
French Resistance,
White Orchid,
Anarchists,
several outlawed Unions,
Trotskyites,
Communists,
Mafioso,
the myriad groups from 1870 to 1914, etc.
- not to mention Timothy McVeigh and his buds.
