Yes we do. Here's one from the story of the terrorist bomber captured in Egypt:

His youngest brother Mohammed said el-Nashar returned to Egypt on June 30 and was arrested on Thursday.``I believe in his innocence. Ask anyone in the street or at the college, they will say that all his attention was focused on his studies and research,'' Mohammed el-Nashar, in his late 20s, told The Associated Press. ``I want the whole world, America and the British, to know that we know nothing and don't know why this is all happening.''
