Terror raid at the veggie garden

With the ethnic cleansing of Maoris now in full swing in New Zealand, anti-terrorist riot police broadened their definition of terror and stormed a couple of organic gardeners. Police seized computers, cellphones, digital cameras and a pair of camouflage pants. Police dogs aided in the search for terror.
