Senators press Communist China on missile sales to Iran, but get nowhere: An eight-Senator delegation visited Beijing with questions for their hosts about "missiles it sold to Iran (that) ended up in the hands of the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon" (Voice of America via Epoch Times). As one would expect, the cadres were tight-lipped.
More on the Communists' chief Middle Eastern proxy: Walid Phares tells Dave Eberhart (Newsmax) that the Iranian mullahcracy's plans to become the "mother of all world threats." Bridget Johnson finds that the Iranian people are just as upset with the mullahs as Israel and the United States (World Politics Watch). Did Iran's Hezbollah puppets have anything to do with the terrorist plot disrupted yesterday? Kenneth R. Timmerman (Newsmax) thinks it's possible. Meanwhile, Melanie Morgan (World Net Daily) remembers her interview with a Hezbollah terrorist in 1983, right after the group killed 241 American Marines. Jacob Laksin (Front Page Magazine) details how Hezbollah uses the civilian population in Lebanon to shield its activities and ensure more horrific casualties. Finally, Joseph Farah (World Net Daily) wonders how anyone can remain neutral where Hezbollah is concerned.

More on the Communists' Korean colony: South Korea has agreed to extend flood aid to the Stalinist North (United Press Int'l via Washington Times).

Finally, the Stalinists "requested that all university students register for military service" (Daily NK).

Buddhist printer sent to jail over scriptures: Lei Dayong "owned a printing press and members of the local Buddhist community would often ask him to print copies of scriptures and various religious texts" (Radio Free Asia via Epoch Times). In one case, he printed, but did not distribute, some religious texts while waiting for a permit. The Communists raided his business anyway, and sentenced him to four years in jail.
