Thousands of immigrants in the United States rushed to comply with a deadline to register with authorities under anti-terror laws introduced following the 11 September attacks. Friday is the cut-off for males over the age of 16, from 13, mainly Muslim countries, who are not permanent US residents, to have registered with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (INS).
