This is a quote from an article dated Nov 8,2001, Seattle Times newspaper. Federal agent's suspect millions of dollars of food-stamp money from Somali stores have been funneled through money excange business's in the Ranier Valley of Seattle. These bank accounts are then channeled to support terrorist group's headed by Oama bin Laden.

Slim and lithe, and black AND Muslim?
Think they're gonna pig out at Mickey D's and go for the really big bucks?
