If you try to check for the latest headlines you find NOTHING on any of the terror stories floating around. All you see are stories about the prison abuse in Iraq. That has to be the one story I'm not following and couldn't care less about.

Heavy weapons cache discovered in Marseille

MARSEILLE, France, May 21 (AFP) - An Iranian national was detained Friday in the southern French port city of Marseille after police uncovered a large cache of weapons, explosives and burglary equipment in a cellar.

The 47-year-old Iranian, said to be the owner of the cellar, is already suspected of links to terrorist groups, one police source said.

However police said they had so far not determined whether the arms cache was intended for terrorist use or for criminal acts.

They were trying to establish whether the arrested man, who according to one police source was proficient in both chemistry and the use of computers, was the owner of the cache.

*****The find included seven kilograms (15 pounds) of explosives, an assault rifle, five handguns, several grenades and a stock of ammunition, police said.

Among other equipment found, described by police as "a top-flight burglary kit" were ski masks, fake identity papers - some of them in the name of the arrested man - handcuffs, rotating police lights, mobile telephones with their SIM cards, and maps of Spain.*****

Police said they were alerted late on Thursday by a resident of the building, who got a glimpse of the arsenal in the basement while visiting his own cellar.

I agree with all of you on this. Here is my comment from
another thread

The media should be reporting these events taking place
across this country. I'm sick of Abu Ghraib. It is the
media's job to keep Americans informed so if they do not
give these significant finds the same attention they grave
to prisoners wearing panties on there heads, then they
will have the blood of Americans on there hands along
with the terrorists.

IT WON'T BE BUSH'S FAULT

Aboslutely right. The sheeple have no idea any of this is happening. And when you tell them, since they didn't hear it said by Tom Brokejaw, they don't believe you.

If it's not on the cbseveing news, then it must not be true.

A frightening and dangerous attitude...but alas..it is written that the blind will continue to be blind.
