An FBI manhunt is under way for 16 persons said to have entered the United States from Mexico illegally as part of an effort to detonate a "dirty bomb" in the Boston area, law-enforcement authorities said yesterday.
Officials initially named four Chinese scientists and two Iraqi nationals in the purported plot, and then last night confirmed that the names of "10 persons of interest," nine of them Chinese and one of unknown nationality, had been added to the six being sought for questioning.
Although the FBI said the threat from an anonymous Mexican informant has not been corroborated, local and state authorities were briefed on the matter and the names and photos of the four Chinese citizens — Zengrong Lin, Wen Quin Zheng, Xiujin Chen and Guozhi Lin — were released.
