I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to any news story not originating in the immediate area of the arrest. Dallas is a long way from VA.

The two men taken into police custody earlier today in Richmond have been released into the hands of the INS. The men were questioned about the 12 sniper attacks in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC, but authorities say thet were not involved in the attacks, and will be deported for immigration violations.

A Justice Department official says one of the men is a 24-year-old from Mexico, and the other is a 34-year-old Guatemalan.

The two were picked up out of a white van at a Richmond gas station. Witnesses say the van had 30 day Virginia tags and had been sitting beside the pay phone for at least 45 minutes before police in bulletproof vests moved in and took the men away. One of the men was dragged out of the van.

Meanwhile, the latest sniper victim is in critical but stable condition at a Richmond hospital.

Doctors removed his spleen, half of his pancreas and two thirds of his stomach. One doctor says he still has a long way to go.
