"Many people in the city were at prayers when the missiles landed. Many were also out in the streets collecting water"....Sure, of course they were, according to media holy writ. Reuters just can't stop itself in its not-too-subtle propaganda. Let me remind the presstitutes at this wire service that on 911, many people were working in their offices in the World Trade Center when the attack planes hit. Many didn't have time for prayer.
