Italian authorities may soon hear from another defendant in the conspiracy trial. Turkish police last week arrested Bekir Celenk, a Turk whom Agca has accused of helping arrange the plot against the Pope. Until his reappearance in Ankara, Celenk, a reputed smuggler, had been secluded in Bulgaria since at least...
...cargo of cannabis. A week ago, a cross-border patrol of P.N.G. waters by Botany Bay (carrying law-enforcement agents from both countries) produced intelligence about the shipment, the name of a suspected importer, and the likely drop-off time; the Yorke funeral provides a cover for the smugglers, hence the ocean checkpoint. As Leeman, Homer and Page are drying off on the deck after the rescue, a banana boat holding what appears to be two men scoots past the ACV. Jumping into the tender, the three officers chase it down. The boat turns out to be carrying 15 people...

All that's missing is Mel Gibson and Danny Glover engaging in witty repartee and senseless violence...
...rockets in a variety of small rooms inside civilian apartments scattered through pro-Hamas neighborhoods. Salama is eager to acquire more sophisticated technology, but one effort in that direction nearly killed him. He told me he bought a remote-controlled drone aircraft that could fire missiles from a smuggler who turned out to be an Israeli collaborator. The drone arrived at Salama's workroom in two pieces: one part was clean but the second was booby-trapped. The explosion killed six cell members and sent Salama to the hospital for months. The wire I spotted...
