latest story at the top of the page  SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A federal
judge declared a mistrial Wednesday in the case of a radical
environmentalist who was charged with teaching others how to
make Molotov cocktails.  Rod Coronado gave his demonstration
only a few hours after a $50 million arson fire in August 2003
destroyed an unfinished condo project nearby in an apparent
attack by environmental terrorists.  Jurors deliberated two days
before sending a note to U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller
indicating they were deadlocked. The judge quickly declared a
mistrial after the jury foreman said the panel was unlikely to
reach a unanimous decision, even with additional time.
Coronado, 41, was charged in February 2006 with a single count
of distributing information on explosives, destructive devices
and weapons of mass destruction with the intent for his
listeners to commit illegal acts of violence.  full story:
