terror in a bottle

From the current issue of US News and World Report in their Washington Whispers column:

"Terror in a bottle

Thought you'd heard everything there was to know about terrorists and their money? Think again. Seems some Middle Eastern terrorists may be paying for their dirty work with proceeds from stolen infant formula. FBI agents say some alleged participants in baby formula theft and fraud rings have financial ties to organizations or individuals suspected of supporting terrorism. Networks of criminals of Middle Eastern descent, the feds say, are involved in the schemes, which involves repackaging stolen formula and reselling it to wholesalers and stores."
