Film director Jules Dassin dies
From the BBC
| Quote: |
American film director Jules Dassin has died in an Athens hospital after a short illness, at the age of 96.
Blacklisted in Hollywood after WWII, he went to Europe where he married the late Greek actress and later culture minister Melina Mercouri.
She starred in Mr Dassin's most famous film, Never on Sunday.
After her death in 1994, Mr Dassin fought to realise her main goal: the return of the Parthenon, or Elgin, marbles from Britain to Greece.
A spokesman for Hygeia hospital in Athens said Mr Dassin had been admitted for treatment two weeks ago.
"Greece grieves the loss of a rare human being, an important creator and a true friend," Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis said in a statement.

Ben Hur star Charlton Heston dies
Charlton Heston, who won a best actor Oscar for his starring role in the epic Ben Hur has died, a spokesman for the star's family has said.
Heston died on Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia, whom he married in 1944, at his side.
Heston also portrayed Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the 1950s and 1960s.
He stepped down as president of US gun lobby, the National Rifle Association (NRA), in 2003, citing ill-health.
The previous year, he had revealed he had symptoms consistent with Alzheimer's disease.

Well if you ask the older members and look at the older posts, you will find I was a prophet of doom, we later became Lifestyle change presentation
consultants.
Prophets of doom work next to Grimmy's office, (Sorry that's Grim Reaper, he is only Grimmy to his friends) so we occasionally get a heads up.
either that or I go to the BBC News site

Al-Qaeda Chief Dead, Officials Say
Al-Qaeda’s chief operational planner, Abu Obaidah al Masri, died due to an infectious disease in Pakistan, anti –terrorism officials said Wednesday.
Al-Masri, suspected of orchestrating al-Qaeda plots including the London transportation bombings of 2005, is believed to have died of hepatitis C, the
Los Angeles Times reports.
It appears that Abu Obaidah al Masri was a powerful chief of the terrorist network’s external operations, who trained recruits in hideouts in western
Pakistan and sent them to carry out assaults against the West, according to the investigators. The strategist al-Masri was also responsible for
attacks on U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
A U.S. official explained that the anti-terrorism investigators currently traced conversations among al-Qaeda activist, unveiling that al-Masri died
of hepatitis C. He is believed to have died in Pakistan’s lawless tribal area bordering Afghanistan.
The Egyptian al-Qaeda boss was suspected in a plot to blow up commercial airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean in 2006, the Associated Press reports.
British authorities arrested 24 suspects in August 2006, after almost a year of investigation. The terrorists masterminded to smuggle bombs and
detonators disguised as electronic devices and drinks onto the airlines. The plot caused Britain and the U.S. to adopt tougher security measures for
passengers. While the British banned for a time nearly all carry-ons, the U.S. limited the amount of liquids that could be brought on board.
The London transportation bombings on July 2005 occurred during the morning rush hour. Three bombs exploded simultaneously on the London Underground
and the fourth one exploded an hour later on a bus. 52 people were killed and 700 wounded due to the attack. Four suicide bombers also died.
Believed to be in his mid-40s, Al-Masri lived in Germany in the 1980s before going to Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Army. He was also a veteran of
wars in Bosnia and Chechnya, and emerged as one of the senior al-Qaeda operatives after the death of Abu Hamza Rabia, killed by a missile strike in
Pakistan in 2005, according to Pakistani authorities. Al-Masri was also suspected of involvement in the November 1995 suicide bombing of the Egyptian
Embassy in Islamabad. 17 people were killed in the attack.
Al-Masri appears as being one of the most mysterious members of the terrorist network’s inner circle, as U.S., European and Pakistani officials claim
they do not know his real name. “Abu Obaidah al-Masri” is a nom de guerre, translated “father of Obaidah, the Egyptian,” the Washington Post reports.

The whole thing is a tragedy of what can go wrong when you take recreational drugs and everything goes wrong. Clearly his grief was to much for him to
take and he took his own life to be with his girlfriend.
My heart goes out to Mark Speight's family and the family of his girlfriend and their friends.

It's horrible, they're people on DS saying he could have been guilty and that's why he did it. 
Edit: I love your sig btw.
