Victor Bout, Russian alleged arms dealer to FARC, the Taliban, and al Qaeda has been arrested in Thailand. The tip about Bout's whereabouts came from the US. Bout will soon be on a plane bound for the US and under indictment for providing material support for terrorist enemies of the US. The former Soviet military man with a fleet of cargo planes, is alleged to have sold arms in conflict regions from Rwanda and Liberia in Africa to the Middle East to Asia and South America.

Columbia's recent successful attack on a FARC terrorist camp in Ecuador killed FARC's no. 2 man Commander Reyes and more than 20 others a few days ago. The strike on the FARC camp also reportedly yielded a laptop computer. The rapid arrest of Bout following the discovery of the laptop suggests the Columbia's FARC strike may have yielded an intelligence gold mine. A UN report on illegal arms sales named Bout as the leading dealer of arms to terrorists in the world.

A Yeshiva student in Jerusalem shot and killed a terrorist who had just perpatrated multiple murders in the library of Merkaz Harav Yeshiva today. The terrorist entered the library and began firing into the room where 80 people were studying.
The attack lasted 4 to 10 minutes during which the killer fired 500 to 600 rounds. As the terrorist exited the building spraying the area with bullets from an automatic weapon, an armed student fired two rifle shots at the mass murderer from atop a nearby rooftop dropping the killer dead in his tracks.

News of the murderous attacks on the Yeshiva students was met with celebratory gunfire and distribution of sweets in Hamas controlled Gaza.
