"Ordinary heroes"

Review by Megan Basham
COLUMN SNIPPET: "No one could claim that the experience of watching United 93 is completely pleasurable, but there is a payoff to stress, tension, and sorrow of reliving that day beyond simply learning more about the activities of the military and FAA. We also learn something about ourselves, and it is this: For every one talking head on television that preaches concession, there are a thousand that refuse to go quietly into the night."

Four dead as Egypt police hunt resort bombers
CAIRO (AFP) - An Egyptian police officer and three suspects were killed in clashes in the north of the Sinai peninsula amid a manhunt for the perpetrators of last month's deadly resort bombings, security sources said.
Two police were also wounded in the exchanges which came after another deadly firefight Sunday in which three suspects were killed.
According to Attorney General Maher Abdel Wahed, the final toll for the bombings in Dahab last month -- which struck at a peak holiday season -- stands at 18 killed and 90 wounded.
Twelve Egyptians were killed as well as six foreigners -- two Russians, a German child, a Swiss national, a Yemeni and a Hungarian.
The attacks, the third such bombings on the same tourist-packed coastline in 18 months, also left 58 Egyptians and 32 foreigners wounded.
