An update of The WMD Trail

Pakistan is not the original birth place of the Islamic fundamentalist and jihadi organizations. Islamic fundamentalism and jihadi terrorism were born elsewhere in the Islamic Ummah and thereafter spread to Pakistan after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.

I've pinged Ivan several times. All I knew was he said months ago he'd be scarce because of a new job. He has not been on since {{05/20/2003}} and we do not get the UK news firsthand anymore because of his absence

Five arrested over Heathrow raid

Police investigating an armed robbery at Heathrow airport are due to question five men they arrested on Saturday.
Around £1.75m in cash was stolen from the Menzie's World warehouse by six men with handguns, who tied up the 15 members of staff.

Scotland Yard say three suspects are still at large after the raid in west London just after 2300GMT on Friday.

Three employees suffered minor injuries while being restrained, and one was hit with a pistol during the robbery.
