NEW YORK, June 6 (Saba) -- Two men in New Jersey of the United States reportedly with ties to an al-Qaida-linked terror group were arrested late Saturday night as they prepared to leave at New York's JFK International Airport, according to Xinhua.
New York TV channel NY1 said Sunday that the two men, who were under the surveillance of New York Police Department (NYPD), were taken into custody when they prepared to board separate flights to Egypt.
"I can only confirm that two arrests were made Saturday night at JFK airport as part of an ongoing investigation," NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne was quoted as saying.
The two men were reportedly linked to a Somalia-based terror group called al-Shabaad, which has ties with al-Qaida and operates in the southern region of the African country.
