    JERSEY CITY, N.J. - The upstairs tenant of an Egyptian Christian family found slain in their home in January and another man have been charged in the killings, and authorities said Friday the motive was robbery, not religious fanaticism. Two men already on parole for drug offenses pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder in the Jan. 11 killing of the Armanious family, which had caused tension between Christians and Muslims in New Jersey. Edward McDonald, 25, who rented a second-floor apartment above the Armanious family, and Hamilton Sanchez, 30, were ordered held on $10 million bail. "I didn't...

    Saddam Hussein was dead broke, the result of U.N. penalties. Or so it was thought. So where did the Iraqi president find the money to pursue missile technology from North Korea, air defense systems from Belarus and other prohibited military equipment. The CIA's top weapons inspector in Iraq said Saddam carried out much of that trade with proceeds from illegal oil sales to Syria, one of three Iraqi neighbors that bought oil from Baghdad in defiance of the United Nations. Trade with Syria, Jordan and Turkey was the biggest source of illicit funds for Saddam, more so than the much-maligned...

    WASHINGTON -- Members of Congress have expressed anger and dismay over Sunday's report in The Jerusalem Post describing how the FBI set up the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC. Plato Cacheris, the lawyer for Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin, who was used by the FBI to plant "classified" information with trusting AIPAC officials, has confirmed the accuracy of the Post's report. Cacheris added that Franklin broke off contact with the FBI because he was "disappointed in their response to his assistance." Meanwhile, Israel's ambassador to the US, Daniel Ayalon, has declined to comment on the Post's account of an AIPAC official giving the...
