Mel Gibson Arrested on Terrorism Charges.....
i thought it was DUI ?? sorry if this is a repost

Mel Gibson Arrested on Terrorism Charges.

The famous Australian-American actor, director and producer has been arrested at his residence today on terrorism charges. The details are still coming in at this time.
The charges come two days after his run in with Southern California law enforcement. In the previous incident Gibson reportedly failed a breath test. He was charged on suspicion of driving under the influence and freed on bail.

The charges come as little surprise after his anti-Semitic comments such as “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Using the U.S. Patriot Act the FBI had been following Mel Gibson’s illegal terrorist activities for months. According to sources in the Los Angeles Division of the FBI, Mel Gibson had been funneling money through Australia, where Gibson had lived for many years, into Lebanon and Palestine to help Muslim Extremists fight against Israel. Some of the money went to groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, no word on if any had been funneled to Al-Qaeda.

a very well done one, but a hoax nonetheless.

On edit: It's similar to this page:

16. What do you mean?
The BBC can issue a cease and desist order, but it's tough to enforce such things on the Internet.

15. Isn't that a fake webpage?
If you click on most of the links, it takes you to the regular 'news.bbc.co.uk', but if you click on the 'Fake News Articles?' link, you go to http://www.advanceddesign.us/

I don't recall ever seeing a 'www.bbclosangeles.com' site before, either (especially just for one story).
