In the real life Miami Sleeper Cell, some members also escaped. A neighbor told the Miami Herald:
The 12 to 15 men in their 20's and 30s appeared to be from Haiti and from the Bahamas.
"I bet they've gone across the water"' he said, believing some had escaped the federal agents. "They were not threatening but nobody messed with them."
* In "Sleeper Cell," two of the terrorists are U.S. citizens (including an undercover FBI agent), and the others are illegal aliens from France, Saudi Arabia, and Bosnia. They are all in their 20s and 30s.
In the real life Miami Sleeper Cell, five are U.S. citizens, one is an illegal alien from Haiti, and another is a resident alien from the Bahamas. They were all in their 20s and 30s.
And there are so many other similarities. Hopefully the FBI and other JTTF members watched "Sleeper Cell." They could learn a lot.
The show contains terror plots that could easily be carried out undetected.
