The better question is why not? If you are a fanatic, you likely are looking at every possible means to infiltrate a hated enemy. Just because one method seems less likely due to security filtering, doesn't mean it's not a possibility. And U.S. officials have already admitted that there is no background data available for most of these people. Probably the best they can do is interview them in their native language and hope they can pick up on nervous inconsistencies in their stories.
