"It  must not be forgotten that A.Q. Khan and at least two of his nuclear scientist colleagues were in touch with Ossama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda group between 1988 and 2001/2.  Intelligence reports say the Khan-Ossama meeting was facilitated by the ISI in a safe-house of the organization, and Khan was also flown to Afghanistan in an ISI helicopter.  Recent reports suggest that the Al Qaeda has been seeking fissile material and technology."

Bahrain Government is a US Base

The protesters, including women and children, had been camping out and the atmosphere had been festive only hours before.

Bahrain, while a small Persian Gulf nation, has considerable strategic value to the United States as the base of its Fifth Fleet, which American officials rely upon to assure the continued flow of oil from the Persian Gulf to the West and to protect the interests of the United States in a 20-nation area that includes vital waterways such as the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. The base is home to 2,300 military personnel, most of them in the Navy.
