Another theory on the black turban, this is an article commenting on the 2001 tape of al-Zawahiri and Bin Laden sat by a stream...

"There is a videotape of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri which shows them sitting on a blanket beside a mountain stream—or, in the view of some intelligence analysts, an artificial backdrop—talking about the jihad operations of September 11th. (Their comments are interspersed with scenes from a martyrdom tape of a young man named Ahmed al-Haznawy, one of the hijackers, but the footage with bin Laden and Zawahiri is thought to have been shot sometime in December.) On the tape, a pallid bin Laden says little. Zawahiri is wearing a white galabeya, a black turban, and a vest. Although the black turban may be a sign that he is in mourning for the death of his family, he appears healthy and content."

Train safe after bomb alert

From correspondents in Paris
August 05, 2005

A FRANKFURT to Paris train was stopped and cleared of passengers in eastern France after a bomb alert but disposal experts later declared it safe, French state-run SNCF railway said today.

Passengers left the train, which was stopped about 4pm local time at Epernay station near Reims after police received a call giving the alert. Bomb disposal experts checked the train and allowed it to depart around 7pm local time, SNCF said.

The bomb alert caused disruptions to trains between Paris and eastern France. Passengers on the Frankfurt-Paris train had been transferred to another train heading for the French capital.

France has been on its second-highest level of security after the July 7 bomb attacks in London which killed at least 56 people, including four bombers.

"Unfortunately we have had a lot of bomb alerts since the London bombings and we have to take them all seriously," the SNCF spokesman said.

How could I have missed this! He wasn't wearing a vest this time! All the other times I've seen him, he's had a vest on.

I don't think you need to use any html for a hyperlink. Simply type it out and it becomes blue on the other side so to speak.

hope that works for you. (It should)
