When an organization needs specific expertise on a complex subject matter that lies outside their normal area of work, they typically hire a technical advisor. This person assists the organization in understanding and performing tasks in their area of expertise in compliance with best practice. For example, a high-level university psychology study may bring in a technical advisor in business or financial services to help construct and perform surveys and tests related to consumer behavior or market correlations. A business entity may use a technical advisor in construction or design to help facilitate the most efficient means of conducting regular business operations. Film crews, producers, and directors frequently turn to technical advisors to ensure that specialized events such as military maneuvers, medical procedures, or police investigative work are depicted in a realistic way.Read More...
Software development is one of the largest areas employing technical advisors. Developers with the understanding of how to build large, user-friendly databases and records-keeping software turn to advisors in the legal or medical field to help ensure that their products are useful in the enterprise and adhere to standard required by those specialized fields. In these cases, the technical advisor works with the senior design team, making suggestions and showing weaknesses in the design that should be eliminated or fixed.
To be a technical advisor, it is necessary to first possess the specialized knowledge and education requirements necessary to work within one's chosen field. Normally, some amount of professional experience within those fields is also important, and organizations typically look for some amount of "crossover" experience from the specialized field to their own work. A technical advisor normally works during regular business hours, but may need to be able to travel.
Technical Advisors seeking a sizable paycheck can earn the most at Halliburton Energy Services, where the average salary comes to $132K.
With a median employee salary of $35K, Apple Computer, Inc pays significantly less than its competitors (277 percent lower than the top payer).
Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, facility with Technical Writing, Engineering Design, and Systems Engineering are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 47 percent, 41 percent, and 35 percent, respectively. Those listing Customer Service as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Information Technology Support and Data Analysis also typically command lower compensation. Those proficient in Customer Service are, more often than not, also skilled in Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
In general, experience and pay appear to be strongly linked; those with more experience usually bring in higher incomes. The average beginner in this position makes around $48K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $72K. Technical Advisors with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $93K. Technical Advisors with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $116K.
Technical Advisors will find that Houston offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 69 percent. Technical Advisors will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+38 percent), Memphis (+36 percent), Colorado Springs (+34 percent), and Dallas (+27 percent). Location is a huge contributor to overall pay, with Technical Advisors in Atlanta earning a whopping 56 percent below the national average. Phoenix and Seattle are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries are 47 percent lower and 14 percent lower, respectively.

Nick Boles said that communities who refused to co-operate with the government's plans will risk losing their hospitals and high street shops as their populations shrink.
Mr Boles told the Daily Mail that he understands that rural campaigners are "very worried" when greenfield land is replaced by 'the sheer ugliness and soullessness of housing estates'.
He argued that current planning laws, however, are sending Britain "back to the 19th century" when only the wealthiest were able to buy houses to live in.
He said: "The sum of human happiness that is created by the houses that are being built is vastly greater than the economic, social and environmental value of a field that was growing wheat or rape."
Greenfield land in Mr Boles's Grantham constituency has been earmarked for a 7,000 home development.
Mr Boles said of the plans: "The only way we will get to hang on to the services we want to have, the local hospital, the only way he'll get M&S back and get a John Lewis at some future point, is if the population of the town grows."
The minister added that he planned to make further changes to the planning rules, including the controversial plan to bribe home owners with compensation for neighbouring developments.
He said that he also hoped to make it easier to allow agricultural barns and high street shops to be converted into residential housing, and to put pressure on developers to speed up building on land that has planning permission while "bullying" them into building "more beautiful" houses rather than "soulless, identikit rabbit hutches."
He hit back at councils who have refused to co-operate with his proposals. He said: "There's no question that some local authorities are dragging their feet.
"Some of them think to themselves they will sit on their hands and let applications come in and refuse them and then blame Nick Boles. It's deeply irresponsible.
"They're elected to serve their communities and take responsibility for the difficult stuff as well as the easy stuff."
The Campaign to Protect Rural England chief executive Shaun Spiers said the moves could damage both the countryside and town centres.
He told the Daily Mail: 'Housing can make people happier than fields but that doesn't mean it is necessary to spoil fields to produce the new houses that we need.
"All this is the antithesis of good planning. You get transport on inappropriate roads. You suck the life out of high streets, empty inner cities and create further sprawl as you drive people out of towns to go shopping because Nick Boles has converted town centre shops to residential use."

Sept. 12, 2008
By Laura Rasmussen-Media Relations Student Assistant
Lobos outfielder Brian Cavazos-Galvez has built his plan for successful execution around three actions.
Being intense.
Staying focused.
Having fun.
It's safe to say that plan has worked.
Still, the ability to balance the three has been a mighty task. A task that the senior slugger realizes he has come to develop with time.
Cavazos-Galvez finished up a stellar prep career at Albuquerque Manzano High School in 2005, winning the Triple Crown his senior season, and collecting player of the year honors in the state.
Despite his outstanding resume, Ray Birmingham knew Cavazos-Galvez had a lot to learn when the youngster began his collegiate career at New Mexico Junior College.
"Just like all freshmen, he had to mature physically and mentally," now-Lobos head coach Ray Birmingham said. "It has been a work in progress and he has taken it."
As a sophomore, Cavazos-Galvez was instrumental in leading NMJC to the 2007 Junior College World Series, an experience that still ranks first as his favorite memory of playing baseball. He drove in a whopping 87 runs that season while batting .480 with 11 home runs. It was a fitting follow-up to his freshman season in which he hit .517 with 66 RBI and nine home runs.
There is no doubt the power has always been there, but that isn't enough for Cavazos-Galvez.
"I have always been known to hit, but not necessarily that I could play defense or not always that I can run fast or not always something else," he said. "I take pride in the things that people won't expect me to do well."
True to that statement, Cavazos-Galvez didn't miss a beat on offense as a Lobo last year, hitting .367 with 55 RBI and 11 home runs.
But it was defense that he wanted to prove.
So he did, committing only two errors coupled with six assists during 51 games in right field.
"In this upcoming year, I want to be more patient," he said. "I worked on patience a lot this summer (for the Battle Creek Bombers in the Northwoods League) and I think it is going to pay off this next season."
While he ranked 16th in the nation for toughest to strikeout in 2008, Cavazos-Galvez admits that stat is a result of trying to put the ball in play. With only six walks last season, patience is something he is poised to prove in 2009.
Birmingham says that while Cavazos-Galvez is an emotional player, he knows when to let things go and trust his abilities.
"He has never quit on me," Birmingham said. "And that is the key. There are times when a lesser man would have quit, but he stepped it up. And it will pay off for him in the long run."
It has been his exposure to examples that has allowed Cavazos-Galvez to build on his abilities year after year.
"One of my biggest strengths is evaluating other teams' approaches or other players' approaches to try to beat our team. I can pick those things out.
"It comes with age just like you get more polished with age. You will notice something someone does and foresee the outcome."
That coming-of-age factor has produced powerful results, including the confidence of sticking to his plan of intensity, focus and fun.
"He is intense. He is focused. He is a no-brainer to get drafted," Birmingham said. "The crazy thing is he will relax and enjoy playing the game because he loves it. And the other things will happen."

I didn't attack you because I'm afraid of you. I attacked you because I don't like you. Nobody likes you. But of course, your low self esteem dictates that you don't give a shit about what others think of you, isn't that right. Allow me to make something very clear; I am the EWNCW Champion and I am the best in the world, and when someone else is waltzing around claiming that he's the best then it's for me to step up and do something about it, in this instance, beat you up.
What I did to you on Inferno is merely scratching the surface on what I will do to you, Krystian Krysys and indeed Istvan Gretzky if I have to. So how about you stick that in your proverbial pipe and smoke it.
Ano Doom: What kind of a jackass kicks someone low when he's about to be knocked unconscious with a slam through the mat? Cold-Blooded Murder was 99.9 % done, and then he uses something that would disqualify him in a match. Shows what kind of a man he is. Good thing I'm more of a doer and not the type to bitch to Staples or I'd insist he be reprimanded for such a cheap move. Fight me clean, not kick me where no one should be kicked....Its alright though, next week is coming so its not over yet...Then its IVWT...He'll be lucky if he doesn't GO THROUGH that damn stretcher.
Van: Your friendly reminder that I'm going to qualify very soon for the ladder match I'm going to win in record time.

I always come back to this foundation, I have really bad scars from having severe acne, and nothing covers them like this foundation, I tried mufe hd, and mufe mat velvet plus, and I tried Lancôme Tient idole, and Laura mercier silk cream, and none of them covered my scars like this foundation, it can be thick and a tiny bit uncomfortable since you can feel it on, but I recently bought a beauty blender and it seems to make it more comfortable, it's not so thick with the same great coverage, I would prefer something that I wouldn't be able to feel it on, but I haven't found anything comparable yet, and it's super affordable. So this is holy grail for me since nothing can compare to the coverage this gives me.

This product is not for me! I have very oily skin with dry patches around my nose..not to mention mild cystic acne...I wasn't looking for a miracle, just something to cover but last....the packaging is not the best and with it being thick, it's hard to get the right amount. And yes I did purchase the one for combo/oily skin....with that being said I still got oily on my forehead and chin three hours after applying it, even with powder. By the end of the day after countless blotting sheets....I noticed it was 'sliding' off of my forehead..literally the weirdest thing I've ever experienced with a foundation...also for all of you with acne, this clogged my pores and broke me out..when something breaks me out its a done deal! It's been sitting,
collecting dust just after 3 uses.....If I had to give it something, I'd say it does pretty well covering under eye circles and it doesn't stink, but unless you're will to put loads of powder underneath your eyes, FORGET IT! OVERALL: PRICEY and a TROUBLEMAKER!

I love this foundation! I was lucky enough to get an absolute perfect colour match for my skin which I often struggle with - foundations are often too light or too dark for me. It blends extremely easily (I use my fingers) and although it is a light to medium coverage, it is definitely build-able.
The only downside is it does get a little bit cakey around dry areas and creases under the eyes a little. I am able to avoid this a little with moisturiser and primer but it certainly does accentuate dry areas which is frustrating! It is also $35 here is Australia which is a little expensive for a drug store foundation, but worth it.
Over all though, I love it and will be buying it again!

This was my first ever liquid foundation. I'm more of a powder girl, but felt like trying something new. So lots of Internet searching led me to believe that this was one of the best drugstore liquid foundations around. After reading many reviews and watching a bunch of tutorials that featured this product, I was in love before trying it. When I first got it, I was so excited! The only downside was the stupid bottle! i wish it had a pump. but I still went straight to the mirror and applied it with my fingers. It was so cakey! I removed it and tried again with a (high quality) makeup brush. I made sure to apply a tiny tiny tiny amount incase that was the problem. Still cakey. I grabbed a sponge and reapplied. Although the sponge made it better, it felt like I was wearing a mask and it was noticeable on my skin. I read such nice things and this is how it turned out? I wouldn't wear this again product again.

I have mixed feelings on this foundation. The first thing that bothered me was the scent. It had a perfumey floral scent to it which I do not appreciate. Makeup should not be scented in my opinion. why do we need the extra chemicals ? The second thing that bothered me was that it runs out of the bottle so fast it flows all over your hand and you waste some. Needs a pump if its going to be that runny. I've found that this foundation goes on nicely with a beauty blender but you really need to be quick with it as it dries fast ! My skin looks really flawless for the first couple of hours but then ends up looking splotchy ? This really was not worth the hype. I will stick to my kat Von d !

I've always heard great things about this but its definitely not for me. It gives good coverage and controls oil well but its way too thick for me . It feels like a mask on my face. If it wasn't quite so thick I would probably like it better but this one is a miss for me .

I bought this product as I wanted to try some hardcore full coverage in order to hide lots of red spots.
I currently have loads of dry patches and this thing just clings to every single imperfection giving the skin a very coarse, grainy, flaky disgusting effect. It seriously emphasizes EVERY.SINGLE.BIT. of bad skin I have at the moment, far from covering it, it makes it look so much worse.
Decided to re-review this product as I was probably not applying it properly. Thanks to YT I saw a video of a lady applying this layer by layer using a WET SPONGE, so I tried it out and it works out so much better. I would not recommend anyone to try and apply this in a thick layer using fingers, it's a disaster. It needs to be built slowly and worked into the skin in tiny half circles with a wet, flat sponge.

I LOVED THIS FORMULA. I got one and used it up. I was extremely impressed by the lasting power and coverage, it NEVER looked cakey. It also never oxide. So I went back to get another one once I ran out. I was surprised when turned me BRIGHT orange, and looked cakey and splotchy. I googled it and that's when I found out Revlon changed the formulation. They had an amazing product, why would they change it?

I tried this product after hearing all the hype about it, and I really didn't end up liking it.
First off, the packing sucks. It's a glass bottle with no pump, which leads to product not being accessible and just general messiness.
Product-wise, it just did not look good to me. While it's definitely full coverage, you can definitely see this product on your skin. It looks good until you look at a mirror (even from 2ft away), and then you can see all the product. It just looked really unnatural. Staying wise it's good though! Honestly to me this was almost a negative (crazy I know) because this stuff DOES NOT COME OFF. It doesn't come off with water. I had to wash my face with a cleanser and SCRUB twice, and it still didn't feel like all the product was off. To me this seems like it could lead to irritation of the skin, but I didn't use it long enough to find out.
So I guess if the packaging doesn't bother you, and you don't mind being able to tell you have a full face of makeup on (as well as having to work hard to get it off!) then this makeup would be perfect. However, not for me.

im a MAC NC30 and i purchased this in 330 Natural Tan. With post-acne scars constellating my face, i was looking for a foundation with good coverage. This foundation did a great job covering my scars, and when applied with a damp beauty blender, this had the most flawless finish. However, as the day went on, i couldnt help to notice how much darker my face has gotten. This foundation oxidized so much!
I also had an issue with the bottle. I'd prefer it if it had a pump, but since it doesnt, i have to pour it onto the back of my hand. The foundation flows pretty fast, so youd always end up with some extra.
Also, if youre sensitive to fragrance, this foundation has a little bit of a chemical scent to it. It's not overpowering, but itll go away within a short period of time.

Bryan Bowers On Movin' On
Air date:Fri, 12/13/2013 - 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Short Description:Bryan Bowers On Movin' On
Born August 18, 1940 in Yorktown, Virginia, Bryan Bowers was raised in New Bohemia near Petersburg of the Civil War's Battle Of The Crater fame. As a child, Bowers would tag along with the field workers and gandy dancers and learned to sing old call-and-answer songs. Bowers recalls, "The music I heard while working in the fields was mesmerizing. And, I'd see the gandy dancers coming down the tracks, setting the rails and getting their ties straight. You've heard that song `Whup Boys, Can't you line 'em?, Chack a lack.' Whup Boys, can't you line 'em? was the call the leader would sing. Chack a lack was the bounce-back of the hammer after falling on the pin. I just thought that music was something that everyone did. It was years later that I realized what I'd been raised around."
Bower's creativity and talent have won him induction into Frets Magazine's First Gallery of the Greats after five years of winning the stringed instrument, open category of the magazine's readers' poll. This distinction put Bowers along side other luminaries, such as Chet Atkins, David Grisman, Stephan Grappelli, Itzhak Perlman, Tony Rice, Rob Wasserman and Mark O'Connor, recognized for their personal accomplishments. In 1993, Bryan was inducted into the Autoharp Hall of Fame to stand only with Maybelle Carter, Kilby Snow, and Sara Carter.

In a city filled with sex and booze,danger is lurking in the dark. Naive tourists in Las Vegas are increasingly getting robbed by prostitutes according to this report. Millions of men — both single and married — from all background visit Vegas every year primarily for job fairs or conventions. Using the "Business Trip" excuse, men leave their wife's at home and take the opportunity to get crazy in Vegas, taking every opportunity to drink and get down and dirty for cheap. International tourists are increasingly getting robbed by prostitutes, which are so easy to find in the sin city.
European men seem to be at most risk. These demographic doesn't think twice before calling the numbers advertised on those buses promising to send a girl direct to your hotel room within 20 minutes. Asian demographics seem to be finding hookers walking on the strip, inside casinos and using websites such as craigslists.com casual encounters section.
Americans, on the other side, have been burned by women calling free chatlines numbers and posing as potential girlfriends with benefits. Men are outnumbered 10:1 in chatlines such as Fonochat, Nightline Chat, LiveLinks and it is easy for predatory women to attract and rob them by appealing to their sexual fantasies.

It had a bad smell as you walked in. I choose a non smoking room. But, the hallways smell like a smoking section. The room size was ok!
A good clean room that was priced great!
Right beside I-95, so there was quite a bit of road noise. Also, the refrigerator in the room did not cool at all.
Overall extremely clean and comfortable
One towel was dirty
Overall it was a very nice room. Great parking area. Very nice staff.
The black out curtains were only at the outer edge of the huge window! There was no track going across so they could not be closed!! At 5 am the sun filled the room and it was impossible to sleep. Not great for a vacation!!! Unfortunately there was a wedding group up very late at night and the sun in our eyes at 5 a.m.
Not the romantic weekend we had hoped for
Location to Yale. Clean.
Expensive parking.
Location in downtown New Canaan
Someone is apparently in it for the money only here, the New Haven Hotel offers no value and certainly no "caring" attitude. For that it charges too much at $ 159 per night. You get:
- Good downtown location.
- Clean room, good size.
- Thin walls, to hear the neighbors, and everyone from the hallways.
- Mattresses of dubious quality.
- Breakfast, a stale buffet in a dark 2nd floor room, is an unfriendly reminder that nobody cares, and at $ 13.99 someone wants to make good money.
- Self parking at the Temple Garage at $ 20 overnight, when the public rate is $ 16, no value add, just a surcharge by the hotel. Staff could have pointed out that there is a free parking on weekends around and across...
- Very friendly and helpful receptionist, one person only.
And Housekeeping knocking at the door at 9am on a Sunday morning makes this a bit of a bad dream in New Haven.
Good luck!
It surpassed my expectations! Would definitely come back here.
Clean and quiet Staff very friendly
Can't think of anything
Convenient parking. Very nicely appointed rooms with spa style décor. Paul Mitchell hair products in bathroom. Always plenty of towels for our party of 3. Starbucks coffee for sale in the lobby and free spa water in the lobby. The room was very well sound-proofed, because we were right next to elevator and heard nothing!! also room was SPOTLESS without a speck of mildew in the bathroom.
coffee in room did not have enough set ups for 3. there was a charge of $2 for in-room water bottles.
The bed was basically the only thing about the room that was worth the money. It was so comfortable and that's rare for me when it comes to hotels. The full size jacuzzi was good too.
First of all, I requested a room far away from the elevators. My room was right next to it. Also, they bloody gave me a handicapped room. The nerve of these people. The first night I was there, a guy walks in to the front lobby to buy a room for the night. He gets a room far away from the elevators and on the top floor. Also, there wasn't a hair dryer in my room, no iron and there were barely any channels on the TV. There also wasn't any TP in the bathroom. The free breakfast was disgusting. There were powdered eggs for crying out loud. DO NOT STAY HERE, I NEVER WILL AGAIN.
The breakfast is excellent!
Fast check-in
Room did not have toilet paper - very strange bath layout
quite , clean, excellent comp. breakfast
no restaurant, no bar
Everything and every one so nice
Awesome experience all around. The room was like a mini-suite and very stylish. Far exceeded our expectations. : Will definitely return if we need a hotel in the Shelton, CT area again.
Had a King size bed in a large room. The first room they gave us didn't have a sofa bed so they switched us to another King room that did. Staff was very helpful. Very clean.
see above
Restaurant. Fair food at high prices Only open part of restaurant was bar with raucous patrons, high decibel noise. Very unpleasant experience, especially after driving 6 hours.
It's beautiful..
However the bathroom and corners of the bedroom floor needed some housekeeping
The Hotel was clean and comfortable.
The restaurant was closed for a party and we had to eat in the bar. It was loud and the food selection was not very good. I would go out to eat next time.
Service during their remodel problems was excellent
The actual remodeling caused a few complications. Once the remodel is over. Things i am sure will be excellent
Nice big room for the price, great water pressure in the shower, very close to highways, free breakfast.
Mattress was too firm for my soft little back

exon ex·on (ěk'sŏn)
A nucleotide sequence in DNA that carries the code for the final mRNA molecule and thus defines a protein's amino acid sequence. Also called coding sequence.
A segment of a gene that contains information used in coding for protein synthesis. Genetic information within genes is discontinuous, split among the exons that encode for messenger RNA and absent from the DNA sequences in between, which are called introns. Genetic splicing, catalyzed by enzymes, results in the final version of messenger RNA, which contains only genetic information from the exons. Compare intron.
Stretches of DNA in genes that code for proteins. In eukaryotes, exons in a given gene are generally separated from each other by stretches of DNA that do not contain instructions for constructing proteins. (Compare intron.)

Putting things off for a few minutes will pay dividends this month and may even allow you to enjoy more fully your day. Simon Cowell has recently been in the news when he was 90 minutes late for work. Have you any idea how good that feels, turning up that late and nobody can do anything about it? Jupiter is trying to get you to try it - ignore him.
Crunching, chewing but not burping, are all well starred this month, especially at high tea on Thursdays and Fridays in Belgium. The slurping advisory we should have warned you about last month, but didn't, is about to be downgraded to a low rumble.
You will be drawn to heavy metal music this month including the fashionable long hair, beard and / or rock chick look. It might be a good idea to put on a few pounds of fat for the inevitable bar brawls.
This month your destiny is happy for most of the time

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick says Wichita will have to bear the cost if it decides to rename Mid-Continent Airport for President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/1ephn3I ) reports that estimates of the cost of the name change have ranged from less than $175,000 to as much as $700,000.
Speaking Friday during a luncheon at the Republican Wichita Pachyderm Club, Merrick said the state doesn't have that kind of money lying around.
Wichita Airport Director Victor White says the Kansas Department of Transportation already has made it clear that it would have to be reimbursed for changing state highway signs. Federal rules don't allow use of airport funds to pay for off-site signage. But White says the money could come from city coffers or private donations.

Light, slim & delicate, these earrings from The Bead Studio are a hit! Go classic with pearls or sparkle with crystals, a great valentine's gift to give to yourself!
- 1 pair sterling earwires
- 2 – 2 1/4" pieces sterling chain
- 14 sterling headpins
- 12 4mm beads
- 2 6mm beads
Attach chain to earwire by opening loop gently to the side, slip a link of chain in, then close. I like to hang the chain at different lengths, about ¾" – 1" on one side and 1 ¼" – 1 ½" on the other side.
Add beads to the headpins and make loops over each bead. (Follow the instructions for basic earring for how-to on making loops.)
Add the two 6mm beads to the end of the longest chain.
Add 4mm beads to the end of the shorter chain and then about every ¼" up each side and you are done!

County's economy continues to improve
Weak real estate, jobs figures blunt USD index
Beacon Economics, a financial analysis firm in Los Angeles, estimates that if the jobless rate were adjusted for seasonal changes, it would have been 9.7 percent in June and July.
The latest national unemployment filings, released yesterday by the U.S. Labor Department, suggest that the job market may be improving slightly. New unemployment filings dropped from 580,000 for the week ended Aug. 15 to 570,000 for the week ended Aug. 22, after adjusting for seasonal fluctuations. The number of people receiving unemployment benefits dropped from 6.25 million to 6.13 million.
But it is too soon to tell how long that trend will last or whether it will be reflected in the local job market.
Besides the rise in unemployment filings and a decline in help-wanted ads, the USD index was also dragged down by a decline in home building. After a three-month rebound, only 177 residential units were authorized in July. That was the third-worst total ever, exceeded only by January and February.

NSA, UK hacked Yahoo! and Google data center interconnects - report
British and US intelligence agencies managed to tap into the connections between data centers run by Yahoo! and Google, and in one month this year slurped 181,280,466 records, including metadata and the contents of communications, according to new documents from Edward Snowden.
A report dated January 9, 2013, from NSA's acquisitions directorate, detailed the operation, dubbed MUSCULAR, in which operatives from the NSA and Britain's GCHQ tapped the fiber-optic transmission cables from the non-US data centers run by the two firms.
Parents of Gary McKinnon and Richard O'Dwyer back Lauri Love, who is accused of breaking into US military networks
The mothers of Gary McKinnon and Richard O'Dwyer, who faced down US attempts to extradite their sons over hacking and copyright charges, have accused US authorities of targeting "young British geeks" after a vicar's son was charged with breaching US military networks from his home in rural Suffolk.
Lauri Love, 28, is facing 10 years in a US jail after being described by prosecutors as a "sophisticated and prolific computer hacker" who allegedly broke into US army and Nasa networks in an attempt to steal confidential data.
Spain demands details of US eavesdropping
Spain on Monday met US Ambassador James Costos, summoned to explain the latest revelations in a growing scandal over the US snooping on telephone and online communications of ordinary citizens and world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The news emerged as a European Parliament delegation was to begin a three-day mission to Washington to probe the impact of the surveillance on EU citizens' "fundamental rights" and discuss suspending an EU-US agreement on the transfer of bank data in the wake of the scandal.
Hackers lose constitutional rights
If you call yourself a hacker online you automatically lose rights under the US constitution, a court has ruled.
The US District Court for the State of Idaho ruled that an ICS product developer's computer could be seized without him being notified or even heard from in court.
Germany: We Think NSA May Have Tapped Chancellor Merkel's Cell Phone
German Chancellor Angela Merkel complained to President Barack Obama on Wednesday after learning that U.S. intelligence may have targeted her mobile phone, saying that would be "a serious breach of trust" if confirmed.

Late State 1817 N-3 "Mouse" Cent1817 1C 13 Stars. N-3, R.2. AU58 NGC. XF40 EAC. A lovely example of the late die state of this variety, with the mouse-shaped die chip on top of Liberty's head fully evident. This late die state is seldom encountered, and N-3 is the scarcest of the four different mouse varieties. Considering the home of Heritage Galleries, deep in the heart of Texas, we were considering a name change to the Armadillo variety. A pleasing example with dark chocolate color in the obverse fields, lighter brown on the devices, and olive-brown near the border. The reverse is dark olive with minimal reddish corrosion.
Ex: George Ramont (8/1968). Envelope Included.(Registry values: N491) (NGC ID# 2252, PCGS# 1594)

Blackmore Club campsite enjoys a peaceful setting in the Worcestershire countryside with stunning views across to the Malvern Hills. It combines plenty of green open space with more sheltered pitches around the site perimeter. As well as clean, modern toilet blocks, the excellent on site facilities include a recreation room with pool table, dog walk and children's play area. One of the appeals of this award-wining site is its proximity to the Malvern Hills – an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ¬- which offers fantastic walking and cycling opportunities on over 100 miles of paths and bridleways. In fact, so popular is the area for walking, it hosts a nine-day walking festival. If you prefer walks of the not so challenging type, the pretty village of Hanley Swan, with a choice of two pubs, is just a mile's stroll from the site. If you want to travel a bit further afield but leave your vehicle behind, there's a bus stop just outside the site with an hourly service to Malvern, Upton and Worcester.Ready Camp is available at this campsite. (Please note that, although we welcome dogs on this site, in the interest of all guests we do not permit pets to stay within the Ready Camp tents). Worth Noting TV reception is poor in some areas of the Site. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local The Bluebell Inn at Ryall serves local produce and runs a minibus to transport campers to and from the restaurant.

Welcomed on arrival and given option of shaded or open pitch for our Motorhome but hardstanding areas are only option for Motorhomes despite open grassy areas throughout site. I can understand this as grass would be left with tread-marks. Only confusion was with our awning, it was recommended that the awning be positioned also onto the hardstanding area but I failed to understand this as my steel pegs could not be hammered-down (maybe I'm missing something)?. We were allowed to erect the awning mainly on grass so no major problem. Toilets/showers clean modern but note NO key-code on any doors and my wife felt vulnerable using facilities in the dark. Site is about 0.75 miles from nearest pub (Swan at Hanley Swan) and bus stop about 200 yards from entrance going to either Worcester or Tewskesbury (note bus-stop is actually missing from the eastbound side.

Originally published at Washington's Blog by Kevin Ryan on 5/12/15
The media has taken an increasing interest in the 28 pages that were redacted from the 9/11 Joint Congressional Inquiry Report. The stories usually feature one of the Inquiry's leaders, former Senator Bob Graham, who has claimed that the missing pages point to involvement of the government of Saudi Arabia. Although Saudi complicity is in no way surprising, facts that are often overlooked suggest that Graham's actions may not be entirely straightforward. This leads independent researchers to raise concerns about his intentions and those concerns are justified.
To begin with, Graham never calls for release of other documents collected by the government's 9/11 investigators, most of which are still held secret. That includes the majority of 9/11 Commission documents, of which only a fraction have been released—with much of the content redacted. The release of Commission documents is hindered by claims that they are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) because they are congressional records. Nonetheless, the public deserves to see documents that might answer critical questions.
Moreover, Graham shows no interest in the many alarming facts about 9/11 that have been uncovered through released documents and videos. Some things that have been released via FOIA request are far more compelling than claims of Saudi financing. These include numerous testimonies to explosives being used to bring down the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings.
After a lawsuit by 9/11 victims' families, the oral histories of the New… Continue reading

On Monday, attorneys representing victims of the 9/11 attacks filed papers alleging substantial Saudi financial support for Al Qaeda and terrorism, including a plan to shoot down Air Force One. This Saudi support supposedly continued up to shortly before 9/11. Donors included leading members of the royal family.
These extraordinary allegations came in rare testimony from behind the walls of a Supermax prison by the so-called "20th hijacker," Zacharias Moussaoui, a convicted Al Qaeda operative.
The New York Times took him quite seriously:
Mr. Moussaoui's testimony, if judged credible, provides new details of the extent and nature of that [Saudi] support in the pre-9/11 period. In more than 100 pages of testimony, filed in federal court in New York on Monday, he comes across as calm and largely coherent, though the plaintiffs' lawyers questioning him do not challenge his statements.
One of the people Moussaoui says he met as an Al Qaeda representative was Prince Salman, who in January became the new king of Saudi Arabia. Others he claims to have met include Turki al-Faisal, who at the time was Saudi intelligence chief, and Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the longtime Saudi ambassador to the U.S.
Both Turki and Bandar were very close with George H.W. Bush and his family. At the time of the 9/11 attacks, George W. Bush was president of the United States—and in what was seemingly a chilling accident of fate, was in Sarasota himself… Continue reading
Originally published at Newsweek by Jeff Stein on 1/7/15
Since the early days after the Sept. 11 attacks, when news emerged that most of the airline hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, dark allegations have lingered about official Saudi ties to the terrorists. Fueling the suspicions: 28 still-classified pages in a congressional inquiry on 9/11 that raise questions about Saudi financial support to the hijackers in the United States prior to the attacks.
Both the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have refused to declassify the pages on grounds of national security. But critics, including members of Congress who have read the pages in the tightly guarded, underground room in the Capitol where they are held, say national security has nothing to do with it. U.S. officials, they charge, are trying to hide the double game that Saudi Arabia has long played with Washington, as both a close ally and petri dish for the world's most toxic brand of Islamic extremism.
One of the most prominent critics is former Florida Senator Bob Graham, a Democrat who co-chaired the joint investigation of the House and Senate intelligence committees into the Sept. 11 attacks. On Wednesday, in a press conference with two current members of Congress and representatives of families who lost loved ones in the attacks, he will once again urge the Obama administration to declassify the pages—a move the White House has previously rebuffed.
"There are a lot of rocks out there that have been purposefully tamped down, that if… Continue reading

Dear Supporter,
Several impressive developments over the last 18 months have lifted the 9/11 truth message into the mainstream news and public awareness. These developments include the Rethink911 campaign, CNN's coverage of the alternative 9/11 Museum Guide and outreach effort, Richard Gage's interview on C-SPAN, the debut of The Anatomy of a Great Deception, and the huge video billboard in Times Square depicting the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.
Now there's a new opportunity that holds great promise.
Join Ray McGovern, Ramsey Clark, and 9/11 family member Terry Strada in New York City on Saturday, November 22, in their call to:
End America's Blindness . . . Restore Its Vision . . . Open the 28 Pages
The reference to 28 pages relates to congressional bill H.R. 428, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC). It calls for the release of 28 pages that were redacted (actually, excised) from the Joint Congressional Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001. The Joint Inquiry report dates back to 2002. Shortly after Rep. Jones' bill was introduced last December, a group of 46 U.S. senators wrote to President Bush requesting that the 28 pages be declassified and made public. Ever since, former U.S. Sen. Robert Graham (D-FL), who chaired the Joint Inquiry committee, has continued to demand the… Continue reading
Originally published at the Daily Mail Online by AP and Kieran Corcoran, updated on 11/16/14
A jihadist serving life in prison on terror charges brought in the wake of 9/11 has claimed the Saudi Arabian royal family helped finance the plot.
Zacarias Moussaoui, 46, says an unnamed Saudi Prince paid for flying lessons for him and the 19 terrorists who hijacked planes in the September 11 attacks in the run-up to the atrocities.
The incredible claims were made in documents filed to a federal court in Oklahoma, in which Moussaoui says a prince 'was assisting me in my Islamic terrorist activities… and was doing so knowingly for Osama bin Laden'.
He also said that bin Laden provided assistance from Saudi leaders in planning the attacks, and that he was involved in a plot to shoot down Air Force One with President Bill Clinton on board.
The Saudi government has flatly denied any involvement in 9/11. Moussaoui's own credibility is also suspect – as even Osama bin Laden has denied he had anything to do with his terrorist plots.

An earlier version of this story stated that 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report are classified. In fact, the 28 pages were redacted from the report by the congressional joint inquiry into 9/11 intelligence. The story has been so revised.
"I loooove to pick on the Saudis," the South Carolina trial lawyer Ronald Motley said in a 2004 New York Times magazine cover story, "A Nation Unto Himself."
The U.S. executive and judiciary are less eager to tweak the House of Saud. But Motley's trillion-dollar 2002 claim against the Kingdom, captioned In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, has experienced a slow-motion revival that culminated last month in the quiet filing of a devastating new complaint. The Sept. 15 amended complaint, filed by the late Motley's more sober co-counsel at Cozen O'Connor, only seeks some $200 billion for Saudia Arabia's alleged role in backing the 9/11 terrorists. The lively, 156-page narrative reads as a prequel to the 9/11 Commission Report, and as a much-needed corrective.
Exactly a week later, a jury in the world's first terror funding trial found Jordan's Arab Bank liable for funneling money from a Saudi state charity to Hamas during the Palestinian intifada. "The core issue in 9/11 and Arab Bank is the same," says Motley Rice's Jodi Flowers, who acts for the plaintiffs in both cases. "As one of the… Continue reading
Originally published at The New Yorker by Lawrence Wright on 9/9/14On the bottom floor of the United States Capitol's new underground visitors' center, there is a secure room where the House Intelligence Committee maintains highly classified files. One of those files is titled "Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain Sensitive National Security Matters." It is twenty-eight pages long. In 2002, the Administration of George W. Bush excised those pages from the report of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks. President Bush said then that publication of that section of the report would damage American intelligence operations, revealing "sources and methods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror."
"There's nothing in it about national security," Walter Jones, a Republican congressman from North Carolina who has read the missing pages, contends. "It's about the Bush Administration and its relationship with the Saudis." Stephen Lynch, a Massachusetts Democrat, told me that the document is "stunning in its clarity," and that it offers direct evidence of complicity on the part of certain Saudi individuals and entities in Al Qaeda's attack on America. "Those twenty-eight pages tell a story that has been completely removed from the 9/11 Report," Lynch maintains. Another congressman who has read the document said that the evidence of Saudi government support… Continue reading
Originally published by Reuters by Jonathan Stempel on 9/2/14
(Reuters) – A federal appeals court on Tuesday said photos of a Saudi national imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay who U.S. officials have said intended to be the "20th hijacker" in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks should stay classified, in the interest of protecting national security.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said the government plausibly showed that releasing images of Mohammed al-Qahtani, who was subject to interrogation techniques that a government official likened to torture, could endanger military personnel, diplomats and workers in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents al-Qahtani in a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. over his treatment, had sought the disclosure of photographs, videos and other audiovisual evidence of his confinement conditions under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
Writing for a three-judge panel, however, Circuit Judge José Cabranes said the release "could logically and plausibly harm national security because these images are uniquely susceptible to use by anti-American extremists as propaganda to incite violence against United States interests domestically and abroad."
Al-Qahtani has been held since February 2002 at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
He had been the target of a "special interrogation plan" that included 20-hour interrogations, sleep deprivation, prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, forced nudity, performance of dog tricks while wearing a dog collar, and sexual humiliation, according to publicly leaked interrogation logs.
Lawrence Lustberg, a lawyer for CCR, in a statement objected… Continue reading

Instead of following the law and producing documents that could show whether or not Saudis living in Sarasota provided aid and assistance to the 9/11 terrorists, the FBI, a federal judge recently found:
• Provided records with "apparent" and unexplained chronological "gaps."
• Presented to the court "located documents" that "seem incomplete."
• Submitted "summary documents" that "do in fact seem to contradict each other."
The FBI's handling of requests for documents related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, which had links to locations and venues in Sarasota County, is unacceptable.
We and anyone interested in knowing more of the truth about 9/11 are grateful that U.S. District Court Judge William Zloch has steadily sought to require the FBI to adequately search for, find and release to the court documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
In contrast, it's troubling that the nation's top law-enforcement agency would not only be intransigent but would submit documents with gaps and contradictions to a federal court. The fact that the documents sought are relevant to one of the United States' greatest domestic tragedies compounds the concerns.
The background:
In September 2011, two independent reporters writing for BrowardBulldog.org reported that a family from Saudi Arabia, who lived in Sarasota County's prestigious Prestancia development prior to September 2001, had connections with individuals associated with terrorism.
The report, reprinted three years ago by the Herald-Tribune, cited documents showing phone calls to the… Continue reading

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday revived claims by families of victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks who alleged that Saudi Arabia provided material support to al Qaeda.
Reversing a lower court ruling, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said "the interests of justice" justified reviving the claims, in light of a 2011 decision that allowed similar claims to proceed against Afghanistan.
Circuit Judge Chester Straub wrote for a three-judge panel that it would be "especially anomalous" to treat both sets of plaintiffs differently. He returned the case to U.S. District Judge George Daniels in Manhattan for further proceedings.
The litigation was brought on behalf of families of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11 attacks, as well as insurers that covered losses suffered by building owners and businesses.
Most of the attackers were Saudi nationals who hijacked planes and flew them into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and – when passengers revolted – into a field in Pennsylvania.
"This opinion is eminently correct and will give 9/11 victims their day in court," said Stephen Cozen, a partner at Cozen O'Connor representing the plaintiffs. "The parties will start over, and we are very, very satisfied that we will meet any defenses, both legal and factual, that are raised."
Cozen said damages could reach tens of billions of dollars.

President Obama is apparently thinking about his presidential library. So now might be a good time to ponder whether anyone will want to visit it.
If he cared about revivifying his brief reputation as a good-guy outsider ready to shine light on the hidden recesses of our governing apparatus (remember his election-night victory speech that brought tears and rare hope to America?), Obama could certainly start at this late date by taking a stand for transparency.
Here's how: Two Congressmen, a Democrat and a Republican, are asking Obama to declassify the congressional report on 9/11, which the Bush administration heavily redacted.
The two members of the House of Representatives have read the blacked-out portions, including 28 totally blank pages that deal largely with Saudi government ties to the alleged 9/11 hijackers.
This is apparently major connect-the-dots stuff—much more significant than what one may remember from Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 911, about Saudi royals and other Saudis studying and living in the US, who were allowed to go home without being interviewed in the aftermath of the attacks. This is about actual financial and logistical support of terrorism against the United States—by its ally, the Saudi government.
As a Hoover Institution media scholar wrote in the New York Post (normally no bastion of deep investigative inquiry):
The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found "incontrovertible evidence" that Saudi government… Continue reading

After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress' investigative report on 9/11 dealing with "specific sources of foreign support" for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
It was kept secret and remains so today.
President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isn't just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).
A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion say they are "absolutely shocked" at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.
Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) can't reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law. So they've proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, "Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001."
Some information already has leaked from the classified section, which is based on both CIA and FBI documents, and it points back to Saudi Arabia, a presumed ally.
The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found "incontrovertible evidence" that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and… Continue reading

In the summer of 2001, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Robert Wright, a counterterrorism expert from the Chicago office, made some startling claims about the Bureau in a written statement outlining the difficulties he had doing his job. Three months before 9/11, he wrote: "The FBI has proven for the past decade it cannot identify and prevent acts of terrorism against the United States and its citizens at home and abroad. Even worse, there is virtually no effort on the part of the FBI's International Terrorism Unit to neutralize known and suspected terrorists residing within the United States."[1]
Revelations since 9/11 have confirmed Wright's claims. FBI management did little or nothing to stop terrorism in the decade before 9/11 and, in some cases, appeared to have supported terrorists. This is more disturbing considering that the power of the FBI over terrorism investigations was supreme. In 1998, the FBI's strategic plan stated that terrorist activities fell "almost exclusively within the jurisdiction of the FBI" and that "the FBI has no higher priority than to combat terrorism."[2]
A number of people are suspect in these failures, including the leaders of the FBI's counterterrorism programs. But at the time of Wright's written complaint, which was not shared with the public until May 2002, the man most responsible was Louis Freeh, Director of the FBI from 1993 to 2001.
Agent Wright was not FBI leadership's only detractor, and not the only one to criticize Freeh.…Continue reading
Statement of September 11th Advocates Regarding Guantánamo Bay Military Tribunals
For Immediate Release
May 4, 2012
It would seem that the U.S. Government found itself in a conundrum when they allowed prisoners, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), to be tortured in secret prisons around the world. Once tortured, any confession or testimony from KSM, or others, could not be deemed reliable. Furthermore, the focus of the eventual proceedings would become a trial about the practice of torture, instead of being a trial about alleged terrorist crimes. That would have been untenable for the U.S. Government, which wants to avoid any and all accountability for their own crimes of torture.
In order to bypass potential discussion of torture, the latest Chief Prosecutor for the Military Commissions, Brig. General Mark Martins, found a willing witness in Majid Khan, a fellow GITMO inmate to KSM. Khan himself was not involved in the 9/11 plot. He supposedly got his information from time spent behind bars at GITMO with KSM. Kahn will be allowed to give this hearsay evidence against KSM in return for a reduced sentence. However, Khan's sentencing won't take place for four years. It seems the Prosecution is pinning their hopes and dreams on Khan's upcoming performance. None of this lends credibility to an already suspect system.
Additionally, with campaigning for the upcoming Presidential elections heating up, the timing of this latest attempt at justice for 9/11 is exploitive at best.

Unfortunately, it now appears that a war between the US and its allies with Iran is imminent. By any military analyst's assessment this has a real chance of changing the current multi-theatre war against terrorism and so called rogue/terrorist states into a real World War III scenario!
Following the Mainstream media (MSM) in the West over the last few months, you would be sensing that many things have happened to support the war-with-Iran rationale: hearing that Iran wants a Nuclear bomb and would be prepared to use it against Israel and the US, other alarming stories include Iran trading in weapons with "rogue states," Iran killing innocent people abroad, Iran's president is insane and wants to "wipe Israel off the map," Iran has been involved in terrorist plots/bombings and may attack inside the US and Iran is trading drugs. The list of baseless accusation goes on and on.
Interesting to remember that after 9/11 the MSM did little to question the actual events and who benefited but devoted massive media speculation to Iraq being involved while no evidence existed, managing to convince the vast majority of the American public that Saddam was involved with the 9/11 attacks leading to growing public support for the 2003 invasion.
Many times over the last decade it was obvious by the rhetoric out of Washington and from their many think tanks like PNAC (The Project for the New American Century) and leaked memos from the Pentagon that the… Continue reading

WASHINGTON — For more than a decade, questions have lingered about the possible role of the Saudi government in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, even as the royal kingdom has made itself a crucial counterterrorism partner in the eyes of American diplomats.
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis' activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.
"I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia," former Senator Bob Graham, Democrat of Florida, said in an affidavit filed as part of a lawsuit brought against the Saudi government and dozens of institutions in the country by families of Sept. 11 victims and others. Mr. Graham led a joint 2002 Congressional inquiry into the attacks.
His former Senate colleague, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, a Democrat who served on the separate 9/11 Commission, said in a sworn affidavit of his own in the case that "significant questions remain unanswered" about the role of Saudi institutions. "Evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks has never been fully pursued," Mr. Kerrey said.
Their affidavits, which were filed on Friday and have not previously been disclosed, are part of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit… Continue reading
A Saudi Arabian accused of associating with several of the September 11 hijackers and who disappeared from his home in the United States a few weeks before the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, is in London working for his country's state oil company.
By Anthony Summers, Neil Tweedie and Dan Christensen in Miami
The Telegraph
Abdulaziz al-Hijji and his wife Anoud left three cars at their luxurious home in a gated community in Sarasota, Florida — one of them new — and flew to Saudi Arabia in August 2001. The refrigerator was full of food; furniture and clothing were left behind; and the swimming pool water was still circulating.
Security records of cars passing through a checkpoint at the Prestancia gated community indicated that Mr al-Hijji's home, 4224 Escondito Circle, had been visited a number of times by Mohamed Atta, the leader of the 19-strong hijack team, who piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre in 2001.
The logs also indicated that Marwan Al-Shehhi, who crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower, and Ziad Jarrah, who was at the controls of United Airlines Flight 93 when it crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, had visited the house.
All three men had trained to fly at Venice Airport, which is 19 miles from Sarasota.
A US counter-terrorist agent told The Daily Telegraph: "The registration numbers of vehicles that had passed through the Prestancia community's north gate in the months before 9/11, coupled with the identification documents shown by incoming drivers on request, showed that Mohamed Atta and several of his fellow hijackers, and another Saudi suspect still at large, had visited 4224 Escondito Circle."
The suspect was Adnan Shukrijumah, an al-Qaeda operative who is on the FBI's Most Wanted list, with a $5 million bounty on his head.A decade after the world's worst terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of 3,000 people, Mr al-Hijji is resident in London, working for the European subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia's state oil company.…Continue reading
