I got a kick out of this article. Apparently, there are multiple regional and national theft rings that specialize in medicines, personal care products, and baby formula, as those items have a high cost/size ratio, and are thus it is highly profitable to steal them. The government has found links between some of these groups and Middle East nations, though not all the way to terrorist organizations 1 . Breast feed! For America!

Although they make highly suggestive associations like how the FBI has traced money from these rings to "nations where terrorist groups, such as Hamas and Hizbullah, are active." They really want to assert the connection.
