[Consolidated.] J. Winkler finds that the lower court properly granted the insurers' motion for summary judgment and determined they were not required to indemnify Chiquita for lawsuits related to its funding of Colombian terrorist organizations. The intentional act of providing funds to the groups led to the deaths of the plaintiffs in the lawsuits and, therefore, cannot be considered accidents under the insurance policies. Affirmed.

Affirmed.
