The United States has admitted responsibility for striking a civilian bus inside Western Iraq but added that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein?s government bears ultimate responsibility for the episode because of its non-compliance with UN resolutions, according to a military spokesman at US Central Command in Doha, Qatar. Five Syrians were killed and 10 were hurt when a US missile struck the bus in Rutba, western Iraq, as it was returning to neighboring Syria on Sunday morning, the Syrian Arab News Agency SANA reported. The bus was carrying 37 Syrians when it was struck as it drove through Rutba, 160 kilometres (100 miles) from the border, it said. "Unfortunately yesterday (Sunday) coalition forces destroyed a civilian bus during targeting of a bridge on the Iraqi side of the Syrian border," a US military spokesman said in a statement at the coalition's forward command headquarters in Qatar. "The bridge was in the process of being hit by munitions when the civilian bus attempted to cross. The bus stopped on the bridge and was hit by munitions already released prior to the bus approaching the bridge," he said. chapter one. how to introduce yourself?

CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar — The U.S. military has issued a most-wanted list in the form of a deck of cards, and Saddam Hussein is the ace of spades in the pack of 55 top figures in his toppled regime. The cards, with pictures of the most-wanted figures, were distributed to thousands of U.S. troops in the field to help them find the senior members of the government. The names also were being put on posters and handbills for the Iraqi public, Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said. Brooks did not identify those in the deck, except to suggest they included Saddam and his minister of information, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, who boasted of battlefield successes right up to the time he disappeared Tuesday. "There are jokers in this deck, there is no doubt about that," Brooks said. He said the whereabouts of some of the most-wanted figures were unknown, while others might well be dead. "The population will probably confirm that for us," he said. "The key list has 55 individuals who may be pursued, killed or captured, and the list does not exclude leaders who may have already been killed or captured," Brooks said. "The intent here is to help the coalition gain information from the Iraqi people so that they also know exactly who it is we seek," he added. The U.S. forces have twice bombed sites where they believe Saddam may have been staying, and his fate is still unknown. One key figure who British and U.S. officials believe is dead is Ali Hassan al-Majid, a former Iraqi defense chief known as "Chemical Ali" for his role in the 1988 chemical weapons attacks on Iraqi Kurds. Brooks also said that U.S. forces found and destroyed five small airplanes covered by camouflage along Highway 1 near the northern city of Tikrit, Saddam's birthplace. The planes, he said, could have been used for escape or to distribute weapons of mass destruction. They were located after special forces north of Tikrit got caught up in a firefight with Iraqi troops, he said. Brooks said there were increasing indications that regime leaders were trying to flee, including being smuggled out, flying out or driving out -- and that serious firefights have erupted in areas where such convoys may have been moving. He noted that special operations forces had taken the surrender of an Iraqi colonel responsible for Iraqi checkpoints leading into Syria along highways 10 and 11 in far western Iraq, and that coalition troops now controlled the crossings. since the beginning this project seems to be as big as our last year main contribution called "heavy traffic" because once again we want to impress as much of party visitors as we want to. detailed infos who is who today: michal wozniak as kiero, poland .......................................... codework, virtual camera motions, co-direction ........................... ........................................... laurent samami as zaac, france ............................... leading visuals, co-modelling, co-textures tomasz wisniewski as azzaro, poland ...................................... visuals, art direction, international team coordination .................. ........................................... pawel podolski as podo, poland .................................................................. visuals kenneth magnusson as louie, sweden ....................................... co-visuals ............................................................... .............................................. kai hawaii as jazz, germany .......................................... soundtrack and audio atmosphere przemyslaw kuca as ubik, poland .......................................... modelling, textures ...................................................... .................................... miroslaw jablonski as prevent, poland ......................... modelling, virtual camera motions and keyframing przemyslaw ignasiak as spark, poland ..................................... modelling, textures ...................................................... .......................................... andrzej nowinski as def, poland ............................................................. co-modelling tomasz wojtowicz as xkid, poland ......................................... co-modelling ............................................................. ................................... wojciech zytkowiak as flapjack, poland ..................................... additional support, alcohol catering chapter three. what do you need? An explosion damaged part of the British Council building in Beirut in the early hours of this morning. One source claims that a small bomb weighing about 400 grams, was placed on one of the building's walls. Police said the explosion caused only light damage. They have begun an investigation. Security sources, however, said that an unknown assailant had thrown a stick of dynamite at the British building, located in the Ras Beirut district in the west of the Lebanese capital. There was a small explosion in the wall outside the British Council. There was a little damage in the wall outside, but no-one was hurt,? a British embassy official said. A Reuters photographer said the blast left a small hole in the pavement and smoke had blackened the walls. Tuesday morning?s attack was the first on British assets in Lebanon since the two countries began their invasion of Iraq. Several heated demonstrations have taken place near the US and British embassies in Lebanon to protest against the US-led war that began five days ago. Some of the demonstrations have led to clashes with security forces. Security has been boosted around the two embassies, as well as around those of Gulf Arab countries which are hosting US and British military forces which are attacking Iraq, particularly Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. A bomb has also been thrown at Britain's honorary consulate in the port city of Guayaquil in Ecuador in what may be a possible protest against the war in Iraq, officials said today. The explosive, which caused little damage, was thrown at Britain's honorary consular offices at about 0430 GMT Monday, a spokesman at the British embassy in Quito told Reuters. No one was injured in the blast.

Iraqi intelligence agents planned to attack CNN journalists working in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq in March, three months after Iraq's information minister warned of the "severest possible consequences" if CNN were to send reporters to the region, said CNN's chief news executive, Eason Jordan. The plot was uncovered by Kurdish police, who arrested two men who identified themselves as Iraqi intelligence agents. CNN has obtained videotaped confessions in which the men said their superiors in Baghdad, Iraq, asked them to blow up a hotel in Erbil where CNN staff were staying. The men planned to use nearly a ton of explosives in the attack, but they were arrested before they could carry out the plan. In their confessions, the men said they had been told that CIA and Israeli agents were working out of the hotel, using CNN as a cover. Jordan: Iraq tortured, killed those who helped CNN In an article published in Friday's editions of The New York Times, Jordan outlined incidents in which Iraqi officials had intimidated, tortured and killed people who had worked for CNN or helped the network with its coverage in Iraq. Those incidents have never before been revealed because they could have put people in jeopardy, Jordan said. In the mid-1990s, a Iraqi cameraman working for CNN was abducted, held for weeks and subjected to electroshock torture in a secret police headquarters when he refused to confirm that Jordan was the CIA station chief in Iraq, Jordan said. Also, a Kuwaiti woman, Asrar Qabandi, who had talked to CNN by telephone during Iraq's occupation of her country in 1990, was captured by Iraqi secret police. On the eve of the U.S.-led campaign, she was killed, her body torn limb from limb and the body parts left on the doorstep of her family's home, Jordan said. Jordan also said that in 1995, Saddam Hussein's son, Uday, had told him that he planned to assassinate his two brothers-in-law who had defected from Iraq to Jordan. In addition, Uday said, he planned to kill Jordan's King Hussein, who had given them asylum. Eason Jordan said he told King Hussein of the plot, but the king dismissed it as "a madman's rant." The Jordanian monarch was not harmed, but Uday's brothers-in-law were lured back to Iraq and killed several months later. kisses and flowers to all people here at bingen!! also greetings and hand shakes to all our friends in these teams (non-alphabetical order): floppy ephidrena whelpz potion decree veezya sunflower mfx nahkolor crimsonjihad thegrid theblacklotus appendix encore razor1911 haujobb kolor farb-rausch calodox mankind cocoon fairlight addict spaceballs ravenetworkoverscan b0 unique tpolm prototype and all forgotten of course. epilogue. what's next? An al-Jazeera reporter had to be rescued from a crowd of Iraqi Americans celebrating the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime after they turned on him and his cameraman. Nezam Mahdawi, Washington correspondent for the Arabic-language broadcaster, was set upon by angry demonstrators in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, where he had travelled to cover the spontaneous demonstration. Independent Arab television station Al- Jazeera has reached a deal to transmit its news reports on cable in the US. The station, one of the most-watched channels in the Arab world, has come in for fierce criticism for some of its coverage of the war on Iraq. Critics hit out at its use of images of dead coalition soldiers and prisoners of war. But others view it as one of the only news channels which gives a Arab perspective on the fighting. BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) Al-Jazeera TV says one of its journalists was killed Tuesday when a U.S. airstrike hit a building housing Arab media, the Arab network said. The reporter, identified as Tariq Ayoub, was carried along the street in a blanket before being placed in the back of an Abu Dhabi TV vehicle and being rushed off for medical treatment. An Al-Jazeera reporter on-air said he felt, as did his colleagues, the U.S. strike was a deliberate attack against the network, since two missiles hit the building, not one, and that the raid happened at about the same time Abu Dhabi TV offices were hit. see you soon somewhere on bigscreen. if you care about demoscene and want to be a part of the good event try to visit symphony demoscene festival organised by madwizards and friends this summer in poznan, poland. for all detailed informations about try www.madwizards.org/symphony or at official public realtions department at silentriot@madwizards.org. ticket bookings or table reservations are on the way - please stay in contact. www.madwizards.org for staying tuned. flapjack@madwizards.org for public relations. azzaro@madwizards.org for joining most productive demo team this days. war is not the answer. alcohol is.
