FBI Probes Taping Outside Jewish School By Saudi National

POSTED: 9:57 a.m. EST November 5, 2003

BALTIMORE -- The FBI is investigating suspicious activity outside a Jewish girls' middle school in Mount Washington.

The president of Bais Yaakov School for Girls, Shlomo Spetner, sent a letter to parents Friday that a parent had spotted a man and woman videotaping the entrance to the campus and some pupils.

The parent reported that the couple appeared to be Middle Eastern and fled when the parent approached them.

Spetner's letter says the parent took down the license plate and the driver has been questioned by the FBI. The man is said to be a Saudi national who attends a local college.

I've been meaning to post about this for a few days now. I hadn't seen this incident reported anywhere in the news, so I thought it might be on the hush-hush. I hope this is all a big mistake, and that there is a logical, coherent explanation for it, and not that someone was targeting middle- and high-school girls.
