“Sudan ‘kills’ Egypt kidnappers”
RECAP AND UPDATED:
placemark
One of the world's largest chocolate makers, Britain's Cadbury, became the latest victim of China's tainted milk scandal Monday, ordering a recall of its Chinese-made products after questionable findings in tests.
Two U.S. food makers, meanwhile, were investigating Indonesian claims that high traces of the industrial chemical melamine had been found in Chinese-made Oreos, M&Ms and Snickers, but stressed the same goods had tested negative in other Asian countries.
Terrorists believe now is time to strike America
"Some [terrorists] are talking that this is the time to strike, while America is down," she said during an hourlong interview with KSFO's Barbara Simpson that addresses Gabriel's new book, "They Must Be Stopped.
She warned that war with radical Islam is inevitable and, "Things have not gotten any better since Sept. 11, 2001."
Thanks for that Melamine update, MamaDearest.
I think it’s safe to say, in my opinion; no food products from China, no food products that use Chinese-produced-related ingredients, no products that can be used in food or beverage products from China....in this household.

Thank you Unrepentant VN Vet.

Troops Kill Insurgents in Southern Afghanistan
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2008 – Coalition and Afghan forces killed several insurgents during weekend patrols in southern Afghanistan, military officials reported.
Insurgents have fired on coalition and Afghan troops in the past three days of patrols through Helmand, Kandahar and Zabol provinces, officials said. No coalition or Afghan casualties were reported from the engagements.
The troops killed an undetermined number of insurgents yesterday after being fired upon while searching a remote compound in Kandahar province’s Maywand district where insurgent activities were suspected, officials said. During the search, soldiers saw a group of insurgents placing a homemade bomb alongside a road. The troops fired on the insurgents, killing two.
Coalition and Afghan forces then received small-arms fire from a nearby fighting position. They returned fire on the enemy position, killing one attacker, officials said.
A cache of more than 1,000 small-arms rounds was confiscated during the search.
On Sept. 27, Afghan and coalition forces killed several insurgents during a security patrol in Helmand province’s Nahr Surkh district. Insurgents engaged the patrol with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. Coalition and Afghan troops fired back with small arms and heavy weapons, killing several insurgents.
During a Sept. 26 security patrol in Zabul province’s Arghandab district, coalition and Afghan forces responded to insurgent small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades with small arms and heavy weapons, killing two insurgents.

Ditto here Cindy. The trouble is many of our nation's name brand food suppliers may be using Chinese food / chemical components in their products and failing to disclose source location or specific imported ingredients itemized. It can be tidily swept under the rug of "manufactured / bottled / distributed by" labeling with foreign ingredients thus "covered."
Thanks for the melamine alert, it grows larger by the day.

Pilots warn of laser beam crash
Airline pilots have warned a serious crash is "likely" unless people are stopped from shining laser beams into the cockpits of planes during landing.
The British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa) said beams dazzled pilots and users were "effectively playing Russian roulette" with passengers' lives.
Dozens of incidents have occurred during 2008, with some pilots handing controls over to co-pilots, Balpa said.

Air Force says Minot Base officer charged with theft of missile launch control device
Borowiecki (bor-oh-WIK'-ee), 27, is accused of taking a classified component used in an underground missile launch control center in July 2005. Arellano said Borowiecki notified the military in May that he and another officer had lied in saying they had destroyed launch components.
Borowiecki's attorneys, Capt. Tiwana Wright and Capt. Mike Berens, did not return telephone calls seeking comment on Monday.
The two accused officers were among the crew members who work 90 feet underground behind huge blast doors, prepared to launch nuclear missiles.
Arellano said Borowiecki turned one launch device over to the government but the other remains missing.
