[0:35] verdict with a journalist and two legal
[0:37] experts. Then a documentary report on
[0:40] the continuing ethnic strike in one of

[1:29] Former Panameanian leader Manuel Noriega
[1:31] was convicted on eight drug and
[1:33] racketeering charges in Miami today. He
[1:36] was acquitted of two lesser counts.
[1:38] Noriega was arrested and brought to this
[1:40] country in January 1990 after US
[1:43] military forces invaded Panama and
[1:46] overthrew him. He now faces up to 120
[1:49] years in prison. Sentencing was set for
[1:51] July 10th. Nora had no visible reaction
[1:55] in the courtroom, but his attorney said
[1:57] he would appeal the verdict. He said one
[2:00] issue would be Noriega's status as a
[2:02] prisoner of war. In
