By ANNELIESE WOOLFORD News W riter

Four student vehicles were broken into and robbed in the past month while parked in the Angela parking lot at Saint Mary’s, security officials said. Although the break-ins happened on separate dates and at different times of day, HI similarities linked the incidents, said Dan Woods, interim security director at the College. In three of the four cases, the thief dislodged a door lock to gain entry to the vehicle, Woods said. In the fourth incident, the vehicle was left unlocked. Various items reported stolen in all four cases were an empty purse, a purse with con­ tents and car stereos. Woods said security patrols have been monitoring all campus lots more frequently as a result of the recent SOFIA BALLONfThe Observer occurrences. The Shirt has been one of the hot-ticket items in the bookstore this year. The first 44,000 sold out, prompting “The security department is currently in the an additional order of 20,000 to meet demand for the kelly green T-shirt emblazoned with ‘Return to Glory.’ final stages of development of a new escort service for the Saint Mary’s campus,” said ball team and Coach [Tyrone] “ I’ve seen ‘Return to Glory’ pop up Woods. “This will provide additional visibility By JUSTIN KRIVICKAS Willingham for the tremendous suc­ all over the country in reference to in the parking lots as well as another source Assistant News Editor cess they’ve had this season.” Notre Dame football.

Associated Press

SEATTLE A federal magistrate Tuesday ordered an American Muslim held without bail on charges of trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon. The magistrate was quoted as saying it was the only way to ensure his appearance at trial. U.S. Magistrate John Weinberg added that the gov­ ernment had presented per­ suasive evidence that James Ujaama, who grew up in Seattle, had been helping ter­ rorism. Ujaama was arrested July 22 in Denver. He was held as a material witness until Aug. 29, when a grand jury indicted him on one count of conspiracy to provide material support and resources for the al-Qaida ter­ rorist network. Another count was also included of using, carrying, possessing and dis­ charging firearms during a crime. Weinberg noted Ujaama’s previous work as a community activist in Seattle. “He was a fine citizen over those years,” the magistrate said, “but peo­ ple change.” Work. . Work., . Work., . Why have. Although Ujaama’s mother J and aunt had offered to put up Leisure. Leisure.

Prosecutors say Ujaama, 36, tried to set up a terrorist train­ ing camp in Bly, Ore., in 1999. He denies the charges. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Hamilton argued that since Ujaama converted to Islam and traveled to London in 1997, he has become a close associate of Abu Hamza al- Masri. The government froze al- Masri s funds for his alleged membership in the Islamic Army of Aden, the organization that claimed responsibility for the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen in October 2000.
