A young man walks into a local FBI office and claims to be from Palestine. He reports that the recent suicide bombing in Israel that is being widely reported in the international media was committed by his brother. The reporting person is conflicted about his desire to stay in the United States, his need to return to his family, and his previous thoughts about becoming a martyr for the Palestinian cause. His work permit expires in one week, and his family expects him to come home. He has met a young woman who is a U.S. citizen, a devout Muslim, and will not leave her close-knit family here in the United States. He doesn't want to abandon his family or raise any suspicion from them. Both he and his brother previously talked about becoming martyrs but they decided against it. Apparently, his brother lied to him or changed his mind. He is dedicated to his family and has many friends and associates at home.

Part of the investigation will be attempting to discern the young man's reasons for contacting the FBI.

Problem: What information should be sought from such an individual?

Strategies: Additional information should be sought about this individual's particular background:

* What are the social and economic circumstances of his family in Palestine?

* What part of Palestine does he come from, and, if he is religious, to what religion and sect does he belong?

* Does or has any other member of his family resided in the United States?
