The disaster has focussed world attention on the region
Separatists fighting for Aceh's independence from Indonesian rule feel the tsunami that wrecked the region could eventually help in heralding peace.
Malik Mahmud, a leader of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the region's self-styled prime minister, on Friday said the international focus on Aceh - the area worst hit by the flood waves triggered by Sunday's earthquake - might benefit the rebels.
Mahmud, who lives in exile in Sweden, said Jakarta had tried to prevent the outside world from knowing about Aceh's independence struggle. "But now people abroad know where is Aceh, what is Aceh."

Sorry if any of the following are doubles
Looks like the rumor is back alive:
Arab media report al-Zarqawi’s arrest in Iraq
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, one of the most wanted extremist militants in Iraq, has reportedly been arrested in the Iraqi city of Baquba, according to the Al-Bayane newspaper published in the United Arab Emirates. The paper reported al-Zarqawi’s arrest last Tuesday, citing local Kurdish media. According to the unidentified Al-Bayane correspondent in Baghdad, the report on al-Zarqawi’s arrest was "first reported by Iraqi Kurdistan radio, which at one time had been the first to announce the arrest of Saddam Hussein". Al-Zarqawi’s arrest could not be verified, though, as there was no official confirmation of his arrest by the US occupation authorities, which have identified him as the “number one target” in Iraq. Al-Zarqawi, the leader of the extremist Al-Tawhid wa’al-Jihad (Monotheism and Holy War) group, is regarded as a chief operative of al-Qaida in Iraq His group has been involved in kidnappings and violence, including mass casualty suicide attacks, against foreign nationals and Iraqis, although it primarily targets US forces and infrastructures. Arab press reports say that his Al-Tawhid group has divided Iraq into several “emirates”, and that the group's members – estimated at between 50 to 500 militants - operate in the cities of Falluja, Qaim, Diyala, and Samarra. Early last year, the US put a bounty of US$25 million on his head, almost equal to the reward offered for Osama bin Laden. Al-Zarqawi’s group is said to have claimed responsibility for the recent assassination of Baghdad governor Ali al-Haidari. In a statement on the Internet, Al-Tawhid threatened that all “traitors” would meet the same fate as al-Haidari. Last Friday, according to a press statement from the interim Iraqi government, the Multi-National Forces (MNF) captured Fadil Hussain Ahmed al-Kurdi, a senior member of al-Zarqawi's network, in northern Baghdad. According to the statement, Al-Kurdi was responsible for communications between al-Qaida and al-Zarqawi’s group as well as for coordinating the movement of fighters into and out of Iraq. The government said that al-Zarqawi's network had suffered a significant loss recently with the arrest on 23 December of Abu Marwan, a leader of a Mosul-based splinter group affiliated with al-Tawhid. Al-Zarqawi's name first surfaced in connection with the murder of US diplomat Laurence Foley in Amman, Jordan in October 2002. Since then, his network has abducted more than 100 foreigners and beheaded many of them in a campaign to force governments participating in the multi-national occupation force to withdraw their troops from Iraq. Al-Zarqawi's network reportedly pledged “allegiance” to al-Qaida in a statement released on 17 October 2004 that also implied that his group was in contact with al-Qaida regarding its operations in Iraq.

Thank you. I was told about this earlier today. It's nice to know that there are many good people out there who are not afraid of the truth.
You are an angel.I don't visit online forums as a rule because many people claim they are me and say things that I do not support. It's easier for me to opt out of them than it is for me to defend myself against pretend Craig's. However, I recognize that online forums are immensely useful--the town square of the world. I am thrilled that you and others are there armed with courage and truth.
