Sudan rebels say they downed vice-president's plane
10:39 a.m. Feb 12, 1998 Eastern
NAIROBI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) said on Thursday its rebel forces shot down a government plane in the south of the country killing First Vice-President Al-Zubeir Mohammad Saleh.

''It was not a crash,'' Justin Yaac, spokesman for the SPLA's political wing told Reuters in Nairobi. ''The plane was on its way to Juba (southern Sudan) and when it was in an area we control we shot it down.''

We may never know if this was a accident or if they were shot down.One thing for sure,if the anybody was contemplating a coup this is certainly the time to do it. I have never owned a stock whose future was so intertwined with a countries internal problems. Makes all my other holdings look boring.
Zeev, arakis just hit 2 5/8,as you mentioned earlier today. If you ever need money would you consider selling that crystal ball you have tucked away in your closet. Jim
