Two men arrested and charged Monday were part of an al Qaeda-supported plot to derail a passenger train, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.


The suspects, Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser, are accused of conspiring to kill people on a VIA train, police said. Officials said that the suspects had the capacity to carry out an attack but that the public was never in imminent danger.

The two men were receiving support "in the form of direction and guidance" from al Qaeda elements in Iran, police said. They are not Canadian citizens.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCBB:AEMD) Discloses Cancer and Infectious Disease Therapy Presentation at ISEV 2013

SAN DIEGO - April 18, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), disclosed that a poster presentation entitled: "Extracorporeal Exosome Removal: A Therapeutic Strategy to Address an Evolutionary Survival Mechanism Shared by Cancer and Infectious Viral Pathogens," is being presented today at the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) 2013 conference being held in Boston, MA. Dr. Annette Marleau, Director of Tumor Immunology at Aethlon Medical will give the presentation. Information related to ISEV 2013 can be accessed online at: www.isevmeeting.org

The Aethlon presentation discusses the specificity of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to address evolved glycopathogen targets that are instrumental in cancer and infectious disease progression. Significant points addressed in the presentation include emerging knowledge of exosome secretion, which is a notable feature of malignancy owing to the diverse roles of these particles in tumor-mediated immune suppression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and resistance to therapeutic agents. As cancer-secreted exosomes remain a critical target not addressed by drug therapies, the Company is expanding the potential utility of the Hemopurifier® to include cancer. In this role, the Hemopurifier® provides an adjuvant strategy to improve current and emerging cancer treatment outcomes without adding drug toxicity. To date, pre-clinical Hemopurifier® studies have validated the capture of exosomes underlying breast cancer, metastatic melanoma, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, and colorectal cancer.
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® consists of the lectin Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) immobilized in the outer-capillary space of a plasma membrane device that is compatible for use with standard CRRT and dialysis units. GNA-based capture is mediated by unique high mannose signatures abundant on the surface of cancer-secreted exosomes as well as glycoproteins that reside on the outer membrane of infectious viral pathogens.
In human studies of treatment naive HIV and Hepatitis-C (HCV) infected individuals, Hemopurifier® therapy demonstrated average viral load reductions of greater than 50% during single four-hour treatment applications. A three-treatment Hemopurifier® protocol combined with interferon-based standard-of-care resulted in undetectable HCV in as little as seven days in hard-to-treat genotype-1 patients. In this same clinical program, post-treatment elution studies documented the capture of up to 300 billion HCV copies by the Hemopurifier® during a single six-hour treatment. A human feasibility study to initiate HCV human studies in the United States is pending IDE approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Based on human treatment experience and exosome capture validations, the Company has identified candidate research centers to conduct a Hemopurifier® therapy study in cancer patients.
About Aethlon Medical
Aethlon Medical creates innovative medical devices that address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious disease, and other life-threatening conditions. Our Aethlon ADAPT™ System is a revenue-stage technology platform that provides the basis for a new class of devices the rapid, yet selective removal of disease promoting particles from the entire circulatory system. At present, The Aethlon ADAPT™ product pipeline includes the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to address infectious disease and cancer, and a medical device being developed under a 5-year contract with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to reduce the incidence of sepsis in combat-injured soldiers. For more information, please visit www.aethlonmedical.com.
About The Aethlon Hemopurifier®
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that selectively targets the rapid clearance of infectious viral pathogens and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. In the treatment of Hepatitis C virus (HCV), human studies have demonstrated that Hemopurifier® therapy may improve immediate, rapid and sustained virologic response rates when administered in the first few days of standard-of-care drug therapy. In addition to accelerating viral load depletion, post-treatment analysis of the Hemopurifier® has documented the capture of up to 300 billion HCV copies of HCV during a single six-hour treatment. Access to Hemopurifier® therapy is available on a compassionate-use basis through the Medanta Medicity Institute (Medicity), a leading center for medical tourism in India. The Medicity is offering treatment access to infected individuals who previously failed or subsequently relapsed standard-of-care drug regimens. The Hemopurifier® is also being offered as a salvage therapy to infected individuals who suffer a viral breakthrough during standard-of-care therapy. U.S. studies of the Hemopurifier® are currently pending approval of an IDE submitted to FDA.
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® and Cancer
In addition to the opportunity to address a broad-spectrum of infectious viral pathogens, the Hemopurifier® has been discovered to capture tumor-derived exosomes underlying several forms of cancer. Tumor-derived exosomes have recently emerged to be a vital therapeutic target in cancer care. These microvesicular particles suppress the immune response in cancer patients through apoptosis of immune cells and their quantity in circulation correlates directly with disease progression. Beyond possessing immunosuppressive properties, tumor-derived exosomes facilitate tumor growth, metastasis, and the development of drug resistance. By addressing this unmet medical need, the Hemopurifier® is positioned as an adjunct to improve established cancer treatment regimens.

Biodefense Stock Alert; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Moves Following News on Contract

Point Roberts, WA - April 17, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors including biodefense and homeland security stocks issues a trading alert for Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), trading at $0.1099, up 0.0070 6.80% 12:43PM EDT on over 688,000 shares. The stock had a morning high of $0.12.

Beyond expanding our opportunity in the DLT program, we are honored to have the opportunity to work with Battelle (the world's largest independent research and development organization) on this endeavor."
The Company's Chairman and CEO also went on to say, "I am pleased to report that the funding spigot for countermeasures against bioterror and pandemic threats has been turned back on. Last month, The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA) of 2013 was signed into law by President Obama. The law reauthorizes provisions of the Project Bioshield Act of 2004 and extends the mandate of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to support medical countermeasure development for biothreat agents for possible inclusion in the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile. PAHPRA also enhances the authority of the FDA to support rapid responses to public health emergencies by clarifying that even before an event occurs, FDA may issue an emergency use authorization to allow emergency use of certain products as medical countermeasures. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that $11 billion will be spent on PAHPRA between fiscal years 2014 to 2018."

Q&A Interview with Scott Sacknoff of the SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: ^DXS) Discussing Sequestration and its impact on the Defense sector and Defense Stocks

Q&A Interview with Scott Sacknoff of the SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: ^DXS) Discussing Sequestration and its impact on the Defense sector and Defense Stocks


Point Roberts WA- March 11, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire, www.homelanddefensestocks.com ) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including defense and Homeland Defense stocks issues a recent interview with Mr. Scott Sacknoff of the SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: ^DXS), the underlying index for the Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE: PPA).


Scott Sacknoff discusses his impressions on the sequestration and its impact on the defense sector and defense stocks.

Q: Investorideas.com

Mr. Sacknoff, several months ago you mentioned that until the sequestration was resolved you planned to be pretty quiet, why is that?

A: Sacknoff: That’s true. Last year I said that until all the sequestration and budget issues were resolved, how defense stocks would response was just a guess. Calling a bottom without knowing where cuts were going to come from, which programs would be impacted, and as importantly, when they’d be impacted makes evaluating companies and stocks more difficult that normal. That said, there were a number of strengths in the sector – international exports, growth in commercial aerospace, cybersecurity, and great balance sheets with tremendous cash positions and I thought these factors would offset the flattening and declines in the defense budget. But sequestration was a wild card. Recognizing the stabilizing factors means little when the government throws a monkey wrench into your calculations. So instead of guessing, putting out an opinion didn’t seem right.

Q: Investorideas.com

So, sequestration took effect. Were you surprised that Congress didn’t fix the issue?

A: Sacknoff: Not really. I thought it was a horrible idea and its execution will cause lots of problems whose impact won’t be felt for months, but nothing Congress does (or doesn’t do) really surprises me anymore. Democrats thought he Republicans would budget and they called that bluff and decided enacting budget cuts were more important than supporting the defense sector.



Q: Investorideas.com

And what did happen in the market?



A: Sacknoff: Well, despite constant media attention on the fiscal cliff and sequestration the SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: DXS) managed to outperform the broader market, gaining 16.3% in 2012. And it’s up 5% more to start 2013, 52-week highs. So those that said, they will ride it out and collect the dividends, which for the Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF was a bit above 2.0% according to Yahoo, they were happy they chose that path. Still, the market reaction instead of ignoring sequestration could have focused on the impact and drop in GDP and stocks could have easily have fallen. There was something else I did find unusual.



Q: Investorideas.com

What was that?



A: Sacknoff: Well, I believe that in an unknown environment, owning a fund for diversifications reasons instead of holding an individual stock makes sense; especially if you are unsure which companies would be impacted the most. Yet over the past several months, the opposite appears to have happened. As the stocks, and of course the funds, moved higher, so people were obviously buying the sector, the number of shares held in the various funds declined. It’s a shame because when you compare the performance of companies such as Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Boeing (NYSE: BA) with the Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE: PPA) for example, and investors would have benefited from being invested in the fund.



Q: Investorideas.com

So, where do you think things are headed from here?



A: Sacknoff: There is still a fair amount of unknowns however some things to keep in mind. A Continuing Resolution to fund the government at 2012 levels through September is currently being debated. This would provide DoD with $518 billion in nonwar funding plus an additional $87 billion for overseas war-on-terror activities.



Now, many people outside Washington would think is a good thing, yet the problem with a CR is that not only do the budget numbers remain fixed but what their spent on is fixed as well. Picture if you budgeted $20,000 for a new car in 2012 and being told ‘here’s another $20,000 to spend for a car in 2013’ even though you didn’t need one and would rather spend the money on fixing your heating system. It does appear though that Congress will give the Pentagon some flexibility to allocate funds with some limited flexibility. Investors should keep in mind though that anticipated defense spending reductions over the next several years will take us, roughly, to the levels seen in 2007, levels much higher than after 9/11, near the beginning of the last defense spending build-up.



Also, sequestration reductions won’t mean the canceling of previously awarded contracts and the agency is going to find as many non-essential areas to cut as possible. The first cuts announced will be closing the military’s worldwide commissary network one extra day each week and issuing partial furloughs to 15,000 military school teachers and staff. So, for at least the moment, the impact on public defense stocks is delayed.



Q. Investorideas.com

Lastly, what do you think the play is for 2013?



A: Sacknoff: Personally, I’d expect aerospace suppliers to produce solid gains and for Boeing to rebound from 2012’s market underperformance once the issues with the 787 batteries are resolved. And I see C4ISR and cybersecurity firms gaining traction in spite of the budget issues at DoD as IT companies such as SAIC, CACI, KEYW, etc gain customers from other government agencies and increasingly from private firms wanting DoD-level security to protect their networks. With cyber attacks up 44% and 75 million pieces of malware on the net, even the banking community has turned to the National Security Agency for advice.

This has been great. Thank you for making the time to chat today.
