"Calif National Guard, LA Israeli Consulate Warned in Terror Probe"
By IAN GREGOR
Associated Press Writer
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LOS ANGELES 7.15.05, Updated 6:20p -- Law enforcement authorities warned the Israeli Consulate and California National Guard that their facilities were on a list of possible terror targets that police found recently while investigating a string of robberies, officials said Friday.

"We're very concerned about it," said Maj. Jon Siepmann, the California National Guard's deputy director of communications. "There was evidence that an attack was at least being planned."

The list, which police found while searching the home of a man arrested last week in connection with a series of gas station robberies in south Santa Monica Bay communities, included three National Guard facilities in the greater Los Angeles area, Siepmann said. He said law enforcement authorities thoroughly briefed National Guard representatives on the possible threat, which he described as apparently "very serious.""

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Earlier this year, Patterson worked for several months at a duty-free shop at Los Angeles International Airport, according to a man who answered the telephone at the business on Friday morning. The store is in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, near the El Al Israeli Airlines ticket counter, where an Egyptian immigrant shot and killed two people in a July 4, 2002, attack."

Washington, a Rollin' 60s gang member who was convicted in Orange County in 1999 of assault with a deadly weapon, robbery and belonging to a street gang, converted to Islam in prison. His alleged accomplice, Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21, who has no criminal record, is believed to be a more recent convert...."
