BIN LADEN´S TERROR BIBLE


The 180-page volume, seized from the Manchester, England home of a bin Laden disciple, offers jihad members guidance on subjects such as assassination, forging documents, and preparing poisons in its 18 chapters. The terrorism manual was placed into evidence last year by prosecutors during the federal trial of four men accused of involvement in the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (the below English translation was also placed in evidence). All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Door locks in secrets of Egyptian pyramid


Hopes of unlocking the mysteries of Egypt's biggest pyramid have hit a new snag after a robot crawling up a narrow shaft to peek through an ancient limestone door found a second stone slab blocking the way. "Pyramid Rover" climbed about 65 metres (213 feet) up one of two passages stretching from a chamber inside the pyramid of Cheops to peer through a hole in the door which some thought might conceal secret chambers, statues of the pharaoh or ancient scrolls dating back 4,500 years.

I know we covered the story of robots exploring the Great Pyramid back in August but now that the major wire services have caught up with us, there have been stories appearing all over the place. So, just to quell the flood of submissions, you can find more on the Pyramid robots at the Chicago Tribute (reg. required), Sky.com, CNN, SiliconValley.com, The Scotsman, The Toronto Star, Nandotimes.com (reg. required), New Jersey Online. Yahoo! News has photos. And if you want links to the researchers and robots, you'll find those in our previous story.
