People in one Mexican border town shot down reports from 'Judicial Watch' that the terrorist group the Islamic State has set up training camps along the border. (US Today)

Pedro Luis Hidalgo, who runs an animal-feed store about a mile south of the border, scoffs at warnings from U.S. right-wingers that Islamic terrorists are near his home.

Washington's conservative Judicial Watch for months has charged that the areas around Ciudad Juarez have become hotbeds of Middle Eastern militants bent on invading America. Last month, the group said it had proof that there was a training camp in Anapra, a community on the western end of Juarez.
