Office, Algiers, Algeria in obtaining information on Mohamed Farid 
SI LARBI.  SI LARBI is a citizen and national of Algeria who was 
granted Refugee status and allowed to enter the United States on 
09/27/00.  ICE received information that SI LARBI may have 
involvement and/or connections to terrorist groups and terrorist 
activities.  On 5/15/07 SI LARBI was questioned and given a 
polygraph concerning this new information.  The results of the exam 
concluded that SI LARBI was deceptive during his responses.

status based upon his uncorroborated verbal testimony.  He has a 
pending application for Naturalization. 
 
4.  In furtherance of this investigation, the following information 
is being sought from the RSO in Algiers: 
 
* Request assistance from Algerian authorities (intelligence) in 
ascertaining if SI LARBI is known to have ties to terrorist groups 
and/or activities as well as any other relevant information. 
 
* Verify if SI LARBI was granted amnesty by the Algerian government 
for terrorist acts under the Charter on Peace and National 
Reconciliation (August 2005).  If possible, a list of the names that 
do appear on the list would be helpful.
