Taliban Hang On, Lose Track of Bin Laden In a sign that life in Kabul is slowly returning to normal, Kabul Television came back on air Sunday after a five-year break ordered by the Taliban's hard-line Islamic regime. ``Greetings, viewers, we hope you are all well!'' co-presenter Shamsuddin Hamid said. ``We're glad to have destroyed terrorism and the Taliban and to be able to present this program to you.''

Hey, It's BEER SEASON here!! The weather is awsome and it's great to be out side. Like fall or something, but it will no doubt be short lived. After the terrorist attacks on the US, American rap-rockers Linkin Park and R&B group Destiny's Child declined to perform in Thailand, on safety grounds. Sir Elton will perform at the Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani in Nonthaburi. He will be escorted by about 100 guards during his tour in Thailand.

Passenger Prompts Landing At Dulles (washingtonpost.com) U.S. sky marshals on a flight from Pittsburgh to Reagan National Airport suddenly ordered a plane to land at Dulles International Airport yesterday, after a passenger got up and started walking toward the cockpit, authorities said. The passenger, Raho N. Ortiz, 33, refused to follow a new federal rule requiring passengers to remain seated in the last half-hour of an approach to National, said Chris Murray, an FBI spokesman. About 15 minutes before the plane was to land at National, Ortiz got out of his seat and started walking briskly toward the front of the plane, where a restroom and cockpit are, said David Castelveter, a spokesman for Arlington-based US Airways.
He "kept saying: 'I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just wanted to go to the bathroom.' "
Agnes Ortiz said her son is not a terrorist. "No way, he's Navajo -- Native American -- from this country. We were here before all you people," she said.

BizReport - On Oct. 10, Neil Godfrey attempted to board a United Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Phoenix, Ariz. According to the Philadelphia citypaper.net site, Godfrey was carrying the book, "Hayduke Lives!" a 1991 novel about a radical environmentalist who blows up construction projects he believes are destroying the landscape. The book, whose cover illustration featured a hand holding sticks of dynamite, made Godfrey the target of an extended interrogation by Philadelphia police, Pennsylvania State Troopers, airport security and the National Guard. Eventually, Godfrey was cleared by security but was barred from getting on the plane by United. An unidentified airline representative told Godfrey he would not be allowed to board for three reasons: he was reading a book with a bomb on the cover, he purchased his ticket on Sept. 11 and his Arizona driver's license had expired. Godfrey said he bought the ticket shortly after midnight on Sept. 11, several hours before terrorists hijacked the doomed airliners, and he insisted his license was not expired, but he still was denied entry on to the plane.

CNN.com - Koreas near agreement on family reunions - November 11, 2001 Family reunions are a pressing issue because most of the people involved are very old. More than 12,000 elderly South Koreans who had applied for reunions have died in the past year. About 1.2 million North Koreans fled to South Korea before and during the 1950-53 Korean War. Thousands of South Koreans are also believed to have gone to the North -- either conscripted into, or voluntarily joining, the North Korean army. The Korean Peninsula was divided in 1945. There is no mail, telephone and other direct means of communications between ordinary people on both sides.
