ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Federal prosecutors on Thursday came a step closer to putting away a Ponchatoula man charged with hatching a murder-for-hire plot against the DEA agent who made a big drug bust against him last fall.

Johnnie Sims, 26, of Robert, La., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to charges of plotting to kill a federal agent and conspiring to deal cocaine and marijuana in and around Tangipahoa Parish.

Sims agreed to testify against his alleged narcotics selling cohort, Chris Walker, 31, who faces trial next month on charges he not only trafficked in crack cocaine, but also tried to have his accusers gunned down."

Man Arrested on Allegations of Spying
Josh Pringle
Thursday, November 16, 2006

A man has been arrested at a Montreal airport on allegations of spying.

It's the first time in more than a decade the Canadian Government has arrested someone on suspicion of espionage

Canada Border Service Agency guards arrested the man Tuesday night in Montreal.

The National Post says the man was arrested as he was about to board a flight to leave the country.

The Post adds the Canadian Security Intelligence Service is working to identify the man, who entered Canada illicitly several years ago.

CTV News reports the man is possibly from Russia who was masquerading as a Canadian citizen.

He is being held under a government security-certificate.

A security certificate allows the government to deport an accused spy or terrorist based on secret intelligence.

It is well known that foreign countries send agents to Canada in pursuit of economic and military secrets.
