Four Chinese nationals as possible terror suspects who passed through New York are being hunted in connection with a potential "dirty bomb" attack in Boston, the FBI said yesterday. The Boston Herald reported that the Chinese were involved with two Iraqis. But Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said he had no information about that. The search for the four began after an anonymous caller claimed the two men and two women were smuggled into the United States from Mexico and are headed for Boston.
Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts released the names and photographs of the four identified as Guhzhi Lin, Zengrong Lin, Xiujin Chen and Wen Quin Zhen and said they were wanted for questioning None of the four is listed on any "watch list."
