ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Colombia's leading rebel group offered to fight for Venezuela if the United States invades the neighbouring country.

"Count on us if the hawks of Washington come to attack the brave people, those who embody the hopes of our continent in their revolution," said the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, in a statement addressed to the Venezuelan communist party's congress.

The FARC has been fighting the government and far-right paramilitaries for more than four decades."

"Young Terror Suspect in Canada Gets Bail"
Jul 24th - 9:10pm

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BRAMPTON, Ontario (AP) - The youngest of the 17 suspects arrested in an alleged plot to blow up public buildings in southern Ontario was granted bail Monday.


Seventeen suspects, including five teenagers, were arrested on June 2 and charged with participating in a terrorist group and other terrorism-related offenses. Seven of the suspects are accused of attempting to acquire three times the amount of explosives used in the devastating Oklahoma City federal building bombing, and of plotting to bomb targets in Ontario.

The 16-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, was the third suspect freed on bail. The youth is accused of attending a training camp in Washago, Ontario.


The teenager's parents are putting up the required $13,000 bail.


Under the conditions established by Justice Gary Trotter, the youth must report to police every Friday and have no communication with the other suspects. He is also forbidden from possessing firearms, must turn over any travel documents, and must stay at home under parental supervision.


He is allowed to go to court, school, his lawyer's and the police station without supervision.


The youth's lawyer, Michael Block, said it was a very reasonable decision and the parents are elated.


"They're very happy," he said."
