Yep.
LAHORE, Pakistan - Intelligence agents arrested two members of an outlawed Pakistani militant group in a raid on a hotel in the eastern city of Lahore on Wednesday and one of the men is believed to be a fund-raiser for Al Qaeda, an intelligence official said.
The Pakistanis - members of the Sunni Muslim militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi - were arrested before dawn at the Munawar hotel near Lahore’s main railway station, the official said on condition of anonymity.
He named one suspect as Mohammed Khaliq, 42, and the other as Maulvi Mohammed Sadiq, who is also wanted by police for a suspected role in the killing of an Iranian diplomat in Lahore in 1992.
Police would not confirm the arrests.
The official said agents also seized 900,000 rupees (US$15,000) from the hotel room where the two men were captured, he said.
Sadiq told interrogators in initial questioning that he had sheltered and provided logistic facilities for Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan and had collected money for the terror network in different cities in Pakistan in the past six months, the official said.
The official said Sadiq did not say whether he had links with Abu Faraj al-Libbi, the reputed Al Qaeda No. 3, who was arrested in the northwestern city of Mardan earlier this month.
Sadiq’s capture followed information from another member of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi who had been arrested a few months ago in Multan, another city in the eastern Punjab province of which Lahore is the capital, the official said.
In 2001, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi for its suspected involvement in the killings of Shiite Muslims in Pakistan. The group is also believed to have forged ties with Al Qaeda.

"Insurgents Post Sniper Training Exercises Online"
ABC News ^ | May 17, 2005 | None cited

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Web sites maintained by Iraqi insurgents and their supporters contain chilling instructions that tell recruits how to become snipers and how to inflict the maximum damage, ABC News has learned.
A Defense Department document is being disseminated to U.S. commanders in Iraq to inform them about the insurgency's newest tactic, ABC News has learned.
The document contains information from pro-insurgency Web sites, translated by Pentagon analysts, that instructs would-be snipers to target U.S. and coalition military commanders, officers and pilots because replacing them "may take two to four years and cost more than $500,000 to put someone through the famous West Point."
Snipers are also directed to target U.S. special forces because, according to the site, "they are very stupid because they have a Rambo complex, thinking that they are the best in the world. Don't be arrogant like them."
The Web site also features a training exercise game called "Who Would You Shoot?" It's the first time U.S. analysts say they have seen an interactive Web site aimed at Iraqi insurgents.
"If you had only one shot," the site asks, "who should you kill?"
Users can choose from several options, and then they are told the "correct" answer."
With all the animals dying in the Lincoln Park Zoo...maybe they know something we don't!!!

Veterans need more recognition [UCLA Daily Bruin]
UCLA Daily Bruin ^ | May 18, 2005 | David Keyes
Posted on 05/18/2005 2:20:03 PM PDT by La Enchiladita
It's rather strange when you stop to think about it. Just a stone's throw away from UCLA there are thousands and thousands of bodies buried beneath the ground. Uniform white tombstones rather unceremoniously mark the graves of U.S. veterans.
The street is called Veteran, after all, for a reason.
Dedicated in 1889, the Los Angeles National Cemetery is the burial site for American soldiers of nearly every war of the past century, including both world wars, Korea, Vietnam and more. Neat rows of tombstones run parallel for as long as the eye can see.
Large grass fields await the fallen soldiers of the inevitable next war. For if there is one certainty, it is the continued folly and subsequent bloodshed of all people.
I wonder how often we students, and all humanity for that matter, stop to think about the great sacrifices of our veterans. A bit of reflection is the least we can do. Though they are buried just meters from our homes, their lives and sacrifices are all too often forgotten.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CFC-A Release: Information Leads To Arrest Of 3 IED Facilitators
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – A raid to capture improvised explosive device facilitators near Khowst city May 16 by Afghan and Coalition forces resulted in the capture of three IED facilitators. One of the three was a known remote-controlled improvised explosive device facilitator.
The three IED facilitators were detained in a series of compounds after Coalition forces were led to their locations by a local informant.
An Afghan man was killed in the raid after he ignored both a verbal warning from an interpreter and a warning shot from Coalition forces. The man was in the home of the known IED facilitator when he was killed.
Coalition forces made every attempt to limit the use of force to stop the man’s threatening actions. Coalition forces reported that as they entered the house the man was told through an interpreter to stop but he continued to act aggressively by moving toward a container atop a dresser. As he continued, a warning shot was fired in hopes of convincing the man to cease his actions. He continued to move toward the container and a Coalition soldier, feeling threatened by his actions, shot and killed the man.
Regional Command East leadership has met with local religious leaders and political officials to discuss the incident. A civil and military affairs team has also been sent to the village to offer assistance.
Khowst city has been the scene of a number of IED and other attacks in recent weeks, causing a heightened sense of awareness for forces operating there.
The incident is currently under investigation by Coalition officials.
