World Energy "Areas To Watch"
The SPLA has declared that it considers oil installations a "legitimate military target," as oil development has provided the Sudanese government the financial resources to expand its war effort. In late March 2002, SPLA rebel leader John Garang stated that his group would continue to attack oil installations in the center of the country despite an agreement to protect civilians and civilian targets and in September 2002, the SPLA said that it had destroyed the main oil well on the Heglig oil field. In November 2001, southern rebels claimed to have ambushed an army convoy traveling near GNPOC facilities, and stated that such attacks would continue until "oil exploration, exploitation and development come to a halt." In August 2001, an attempt by rebels to blow up Sudan's oil export pipeline was thwarted, but rebels claimed to have killed 42 government soldiers in an attack earlier in the month, and also to have inflicted "extensive damage" to oil facilities at Hegli ...

Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcers Target Internet Scams and Deceptive Spam
The FTC charged that GM Funding and individual defendants used deceptive spam, including the unauthorized use of logos of well-known financial institutions such as Radian Bank, Prudential, and Fannie Mae, to induce victims to disclose sensitive financial information such as income, mortgage balances, and home values. According to the FTC, the spammers purported to offer consumers competitive financing and refinancing loans. The defendants also allegedly forged e-mail headers - a technique known as "spoofing" - so that any undeliverable messages went to e-mail addresses unaffiliated with them. The FTC also alleged that the defendants deceptively claimed that consumers who received their solicitations could opt out of future offers. The FTC charged the defendants with unfair and deceptive practices, violations of the FTC Act, and with "pretexting,"- posing as an entity it was not in order to get sensitive financial information - a violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. ...
