"5. [Federal investigators] arrested a group of Jews who set up video cameras on the roof of one of the Israeli companies across from the WTC a little while before the incident, in order to film the moment of the explosions. This proves that Zionist elements knew what was about to happen. The Israeli paper Ha'aretz noted that the federal investigators had arrested five Zionists who worked for a moving company owned by a Zionist in nearby New Jersey on suspicion of involvement in the explosions. The police interrogated them for three days, which came only four hours after the incident as they were filming the explosions and dancing with glee. The newspaper added that one of the suspects was interrogated for 14 hours straight on suspicion of belonging to the Mossad after it became clear that he had European citizenship in addition to his Israeli citizenship – something only Mossad agents are allowed."

Release 1.2, June 30/02
"Within an hour of the attacks on the WTC towers, five Israelis were spotted filming the burning buildings from Liberty State Park across the Hudson River in New Jersey. The person who spotted and reported their strange behaviour to the FBI immediately. They were "shouting in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery."19 The five men, described as "Israeli tourists," were picked up by the FBI, but there have been no further reports of their fate. This apparently real celebration provides an ironic contrast with the faked Palestinian one."

"Five Israelis were caught filming the smoking rubble from their office building; but you never heard about because it was hushed up by the FBI on orders from Washington. There were so many television and other pictures of the planes hitting the towers and the towers falling only because cameras had been pre-positioned round the site."

"The explosive story of the 5 suspicious Israelis seen celebrating while filming the attacks on the WTC was ... reported nationally in American Free Press shortly after September 11. NBC News recently reported on this story and added a comment that deserves attention: The Forward, a ... Jewish newspaper in New York, reported that at least two of the men were Israeli intelligence (Mossad) agents.

 

The Israeli agents were first seen filming the attack on the WTC while kneeling on the roof of a white van in the parking lot of a New Jersey apartment building across the river from lower Manhattan. "They seemed to be taking a movie," the resident who noticed them said. "The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the WTC burning in the background," she said. What struck her were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were, like, happy, you know. They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange." 

 

She found the behavior so suspicious that she wrote down the license plate number of the van and called the police. The FBI was soon on the scene and a statewide bulletin was issued on the van, which, it was later discovered, belonged to a Mossad front company called Urban Moving Systems. 

 

Around 4:00 p.m. on September 11, when the van was pulled over, five Israelis: Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner, and Omer Marmari -- all between 22 and 27 years old -- were arrested at gunpoint. One had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock, while another carried two foreign passports. Box cutters were found in the van.

 

"We are not your problem."

 

According to the police report, one of the men said they had been on the West Side Highway in Manhattan "during the incident." Referring to the WTC attack, Sivan Kurzberg, the driver, said, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem." The case was turned over to the FBI's Foreign Counterintelligence Section because -- as reported on ABC -- "The FBI believed Urban Moving Systems was a cover for an Israeli intelligence operation."

 

While the FBI searched the company's Weehawken, N.J. offices, removing boxes of documents and a dozen computer hard drives, the owner of the company, Dominic Suter, was allowed to flee the country. When FBI agents tried to interview Suter a second time they discovered that he had cleared out of his New Jersey home and fled to Israel.

 

When ABC reporters visited Urban Moving Systems, "it looked as if it had been shut down in a big hurry. Cell phones were lying around; office phones were still connected; and the property of dozens of clients remained in the warehouse."

 

The Israelis had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for overstaying their tourist visas and working in the United States illegally. Two weeks after their arrest, an immigration judge ordered them to be deported, however, FBI and CIA officials in Washington put a hold on the case, according to ABC.

 

The five men were held in detention for more than two months. Some of them were placed in solitary confinement for 40 days and given as many as seven lie-detector tests. One of them, Paul Kurzberg, refused to take a lie detector test for 10 weeks and then failed it [when he did finally take it], according to his lawyer.

 

"Our purpose was to document the event."

 

A deal was struck between Israeli and U.S. government officials after 71 days and the five Israelis were put on a plane and deported to Israel. The detained Israelis discussed their experience in America on an Israeli talk show after their return home. One of the men said: "The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event." Source.
