...traveling companion was not so lucky. Ahmad Ajaj, a Palestinian, was arrested when he tried to enter the country with a bogus Swedish passport and bombmaking books in his luggage. According to the federal prosecutors, Ajaj was ``carrying formulae regarding how to destroy buildings, bridges and other properties, and videotapes which called for war on the United States and portrayed scenes of explosions, including depictions of American facilities being bombed.''
