  2. Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden is preparing to release a video addressing US citizens on the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, monitoring groups said.

    Doesn't this sound like a advertisement for a cheesy TV movie? Terror Mastermind??? Maybe comic book?

    The Site Intelligence Group said an internet announcement included a photo of bin Laden from the forthcoming video which showed his beard, which in previous messages had been streaked with grey, was black.

    Awww....he suffers from one of the deadly sins, vanity.

  4. A family friend of Kate McCann said Mrs McCann has been told she will be named an official “arguido” when she returns to the police station for further questioning later today.

    After Mrs McCann was questioned for over 11 hours yesterday, the McCann’s lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu, insisted she was interviewed only as a witness.

    Portuguese laws severely restrict what those privy to an investigation may say publicly, but Mrs McCann is said to be “amazed and concerned” by the news that her status has changed.

    Previously Kate McCann and her husband Gerry had always met police together and officials described the meetings as informal. Both have denied any involvement in their daughter's disappearance.

    But yesterday Mrs McCann was interviewed alone and Mr McCann is expected to be interviewed separately at around 2pm today.

    Leaving the police station in Portimao, a town in the Algarve, at around 1am local time, Mrs McCann looked gaunt and tired and did not speak to the media.

    Mrs McCann was asked to go to the police station after authorities received forensic evidence recovered from the holiday apartment in the Algarve where Madeleine vanished on May 3.

    Portuguese detectives are said to have a series of 22 questions which they felt unable to put to Mrs McCann before she was declared an official suspect.

    The move is not thought to signal that police are any closer to making any arrest or bringing charges.

    Under Portuguese law, an arguido has certain legal protection that is not extended to a witness, including the right to remain silent during questioning and the right to legal representation.

    It is not uncommon for people caught up in criminal investigations in Portugal to declare themselves arguidos in order to receive this protection.

    The family spokesman said: “Just before the session ended last night, they made it clear they had some further questions to ask which would require her to be in arguido status rather than just witness status.”

    He could not confirm what these questions were, or whether Mr McCann will also be made an arguido when he reports to the police station later.

    The spokesman said: “She is shocked and surprised in several ways.

    First of all that such an accusation could be made against her. “And obviously she is concerned that such a line of investigation can become a distraction from further attempts to find Madeleine.”

    Police spokesman Olegario de Sousa said yesterday his team had been satisfied with the results of the forensic evidence returned by the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham.

    “I can confirm that we have received part of the results and the team is satisfied (with the results),” Mr de Sousa said.

    Local newspapers have reported that the results included a sample of a speck of blood found on the wall of the McCann’s apartment.

    A Briton living in Praia da Luz had previously been identified by police as the only suspect in the investigation and his house has been searched twice.

    Madeleine’s parents have campaigned relentlessly to draw attention to the case and a fund they started to help find missing or abducted children has raised more than £1 million.

    They have visited several countries where she could have been taken by an abductor and met with foreign officials.

    They recently indicated they may soon return to Britain. Their efforts led to a meeting with Pope Benedict in Rome who blessed a picture of Madeleine a few weeks after the disappearance. British business tycoons and celebrities ranging from “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling to soccer stars have contributed to reward for her return.

    In addition to his Las Vegas concert series and tour dates all over the world, Elton John has recently added a few gigs in the Mountain West and Midwest.

    Following his current European tour, the Rocket Man will visit Montana for two September shows and hit Missouri next month for a couple more. Then it's off to Vegas, where John will continue his Red Piano concert extravaganza through Nov. 5. Dates are listed below.

    After his US run, the superstar will make his way through Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa through mid-January. Details about those shows can be found at John's website.

    The Grammy-winning singer has much to celebrate this year--his fourth decade on the road, his 60th birthday and his record 60th show at New York City's Madison Square Garden. John marked those accomplishments in March with the release of "Rock Man - Number Ones," an 18-song set of hits covering the first 35 years of his career.

    The BBC's Radio 2 recently honored John with a three-hour special entitled "The Continuing Adventures of Captain Fantastic-Elton at 60," which features music and interviews. The full audio broadcast is being made available at John's website, spread out in 12 segments in the coming weeks. The first four are currently streaming.

    John and his longtime collaborator, Bernie Taupin, offered their latest set of new material last year with "The Captain & The Kid," which is billed as a sequel to 1975's "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy."

    Sting, Elton John and Bono have paid tribute to Italian opera legend Luciano Pavarotti, who died on Thursday at the age of 71.

    The tenor passed away at his home in Modena, Italy, after battling pancreatic cancer since last year.

    Sting says, "We lost a great friend, a great voice and the world is a smaller place without the big man."

    Elton says, "It is a sad day for music and a sad day for the world."

    U2 frontman Bono adds, "Some can sing opera, Luciano Pavarotti was an opera. He lived the songs, his opera was a great mash of joy and sadness; surreal and earthy at the same time; a great volcano of a man who sang fire but spilled over with a love of life in all its complexity, a great and generous friend.

    "Great, great fun, 'The Pavlova' we used to call him. I spoke to him last week - the voice that was louder than any rock band was a whisper.
