9/11- Conspiracy Road Trip

BBC 3

This September marks the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, one of the biggest terrorist atrocities of the 21st Century. Nineteen hijackers, all members of Al Qaeda, crashed four planes on American soil, leading to the deaths of 2,973 innocent people.

This horrific event has generated a multitude of conspiracy theories that contradict the official findings of the US government's investigation into the events of that day.

Palestinians to play first World Cup qualifier at home

The Palestinian national football team are due to play its first World Cup qualifier on home soil.

The team are playing against Afghanistan in the second leg of a qualifying match for the Brazil World Cup in 2014.

Thousands are expected to pack the al-Ram stadium in Ramallah to witness a piece of Palestinian football history.

In the past, the team has had to play its home games in Jordan because of security concerns in the West Bank.

g>First leg victory

Palestinians do not have a state but they do have a football team.

They won the first leg 2-0 so barring a collapse should advance to the next stage.

Death of Usamah Bin Laden: Freedom Fighter or Terrorist?

The reaction says it all, there is celebration in the streets of New York, whilst silence in the streets of the Islamic world; freedom fighter or terrorist depends on whose perspective. There is no doubt many in the Islamic world and the non-Islamic world (e.g. Latin America), are privately mourning the death of Usamah Bin Laden, seen as a symbol of resistance to Western imperialism. Unlike Saddam Hussein and his ilk, Usamah Bin Laden died fighting like a Mujahid, as the old proverb says, he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
