-- Agents have also interviewed three men in New Jersey carrying a large amount of cash and a one-way plane ticket to Syria, police said. The three -- Ahmad Kilfat, 45, Mohammad Mahmoud Al Raqqad, 37, and Nicholas Makrakis, 27 -- were in a red car that fit a description put out by federal authorities of a car that may have a connection to the terrorist attacks, according to a police official who requested anonymity.

Authorities said Saturday that Makrakis may have been using a Greek passport stolen in July.

In Greece, police said a singer with the same name reported his passport and other documents stolen from his car July 13 outside of Athens.

Other personal details listed on the stolen documents appeared to match those produced by the man in New Jersey, police said.
