“Editor of Al-Sharq Al-Awsat: Syrian-Iranian Intervention in Lebanon is Threatening Arab National Security”
SNIPPET: “In a January 16, 2008 editorial in the London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, the paper’s editor-in-chief, Tariq Alhomayed, called on Arab League member states, and especially on Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to stop the Syrian-Iranian intervention in Lebanon, as well as in Palestine, Iraq and the Gulf. Alhomayed also argued that the Arab League should change the venue of its planned March 2008 Damascus summit, and should take a firm position vis-à-vis Syria, even to the point of enacting economic measures against it.
The following are excerpts from the article, as it appeared in the English edition of Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.”

Anti-terrorism task force busts Bosnian CDL scam
The Federal Bureau of Investigation busted a scam Thursday that was helping Bosnian men get Washington Commercial Drivers Licenses in Spokane.
The Inland Northwest Joint Terrorism Task Force executed several search warrants in Spokane related to the operations of commercial truck driving schools in raids that netted at least two arrests.
Indictments unsealed late Thursday afternoon say a local Bosnian man was running a scam to put commercial drivers licenses in the hands of other Bosnian men from around the country for a price. That man, identified as Brano Milovanovic, has been arrested on mail fraud charges.
Investigators searched his west Spokane hom, removing four computers and some documents from the premises.
A federal indictment alleges Milovanovic was running a scam where Bosnian-speaking men from around the country would pay him $2,500 for a Commercial Driver's License. They would fly to Spokane where Milovanovic would act as their interpreter and give them the correct answers on the written portion of their driver's test.
Then Milovanovic would pay a friend, a state certified driving tester, $200 to $500 dollars to pass the Bosnian-speaking men on their driving test.
Documents say the tests were never given and the men would never even get behind the wheel. As many as 92 of these fraudulent CDLs were mailed to different homes in Spokane.
A second man, 19-year-old Spokane Community College student Saud Grebic, was also arrested in connection with the raids Thursday and the FBI confirms that more arrests are expected.
Thursday's raids were similar to a crackdown in Kansas City in late 2006 that netted 15 individuals for their role in illegally providing around 80 Somali and Bosnian nationals with commercial driver's licenses.
The Kansas City raid included the indictment of a superintendent of a truck driving company and the owner of another.
Those indicted in Missouri were providing illegal licenses that circumvented the testing, as officials of the schools received money in exchange for making sure the Bosnian and Somali nationals received licenses. Often, this was done regardless of testing performance, by providing answers to test questions beforehand, or passing students who weren't even present at the time of the test.
