Wednesday, March 16, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MANILA, Philippines — The brutal Abu Sayyaf (search) group repeatedly has been declared a spent force, only to bloodily resurrect itself — the latest time in a botched jail break that left 27 dead and sparked fears of retaliation by Al Qaeda-linked (search) terrorists."

"18 face charges in weapons plot"
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Eighteen persons were charged yesterday in a conspiracy to smuggle grenade launchers, shoulder-fired missiles and other Russian-made weapons from Eastern Europe to the United States, all of which were sold to an arms dealer who claimed to have ties to al Qaeda terrorists.
The dealer, according to law-enforcement authorities, worked as an informant for the FBI and arranged to purchase the weapons from a group of Armenians and South Africans. The suspected gang members used digital cameras to showcase the weapons that they said they could buy from sources in the former Soviet Union."
