As the rubble of Ground Zero smoldered in the months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the investigation was just as hot across the Hudson River.
More than 1,100 Arabs and Muslims — most of them from New York and North Jersey — were rounded up and detained as the FBI feverishly hunted for additional terrorists.
In few places was the spotlight as white-hot — and the fear among Muslims as deep — as in Paterson, where as many as six of the 9/11 hijackers lived or spent time in the weeks before the attacks. (Parry, The Associated Press)
