 Finally, the govt has nabbed a drug terrorist!
 Funny thing, though, it's not the drugs targeted by the DEA, 
according to the following item from today's SF Chronicle, March 1, 
2003

  CHARLOTTE, NC:  The first person convicted under a law that bars 
aid to terrorists was sentenced Friday to 155 years in prison for 
leading a cigarette smuggling ring that funneled profits to the 
Lebanese group Hezbollah.
   Mohammad Hammond, 29, masterminded a scheme to bring cigrettes 

>from North Carolina where low taxes keep down prices, to Michigan for 

resale.  In June, he was found guilty of sending $3,500 to Hezbollah.
