Suspected terror worked at nuclear weapons lab { December 31 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.sunspot.net/news/nationworld/bal-te.philippines31dec31,0,1566360.story?coll=bal-nationworld-headlines http://www.sunspot.net/news/nationworld/bal-te.philippines31dec31,0,1566360.story?coll=bal-nationworld-headlines American suspected of terror links worked at nuclear weapons lab Filipinos set to deport brothers tied to militants, al-Qaida-linked charities -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Press Originally published December 31, 2003 MANILA, Philippines - As the Philippines moved to deport two American brothers arrested two weeks ago for suspected links to local Muslim militants and al-Qaida-linked charities, new details emerged about them, including the fact that one is a former worker at a U.S. nuclear weapons lab. A spokeswoman at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory outside San Francisco said Michael Ray Stubbs, 55, who was arrested with his brother James on Dec. 13 southwest of Manila, worked at the lab as a heating and air conditioning technician for about 10 years ending in 2000. She said the FBI was looking into whether he had access to sensitive information. Immigration Commissioner Andrea Domingo said at a Manila news conference that James Stubbs met with members of the Abu Sayyaf Muslim extremist group and the Muslim rebel Moro Islamic Liberation Front, two groups loosely linked by Philippine officials to al-Qaida. During the news conference, the brothers, handcuffed and wearing bright yellow T-shirts emblazoned with the word "detainee," stood behind Domingo. "These are all fabricated lies," James Stubbs shouted as Domingo spoke. He told reporters he was in the Philippines to be with his pregnant Filipino wife. The brothers, born in Missouri, will be deported to the United States as "undesirable aliens ... based on intelligence reports that they were seen meeting with known leaders of various terrorist cells in the country with links to al-Qaida," the immigration bureau said. Domingo said the brothers arrived on tourist visas but also carried documents indicating they were soliciting funds for the construction of Muslim schools and mosques. According to Philippine military intelligence reports, James Stubbs' local contacts asked him for assistance in getting money from U.S.-based Muslim groups, purportedly for helping Muslim communities in the southern Philippines. Domingo said there was no evidence linking the two to any past or planned militant plots, but said James Stubbs allegedly called for the overthrow of the U.S. government in statements to local authorities. "They're violating immigration laws and they're being charged and they are going through immigration proceedings," Domingo said. She said the two would be deported to the United States next month. A naval intelligence officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. officials were concerned that Michael Ray Stubbs may have passed sensitive information to his brother from the weapons lab in Livermore. "We have been working closely with the FBI on this issue since he was arrested in the Philippines a few weeks ago," said lab spokeswoman Susan Houghton. The lab terminated Stubbs' clearance after he left on medical leave in March 2000. The U.S. Embassy declined to comment on the allegations. According to Philippine military intelligence reports, James Stubbs left his job as a teacher in California to study Arabic in Sudan. He met in May with several charity groups suspected of being al-Qaida fronts and founded by Mahmoud Afif Abdeljalil - believed to be a close associate of Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law.
