The english language is not my strong point. I have to use my daughters Oxford Colour Dictionary extensively, and I still don't use it enough -g- Some more news from ananova. Looks as if desperate measures are being drawn up... Taliban preparing kamikaze squads - report The Taliban is reportedly preparing suicide squads to attack US and British military aircraft in Afghanistan using gliders and improvised vehicles. The squads include Afghan and non-Afghan troops prepared to give their lives in kamikaze-style suicide attacks, said Iran's official IRNA news agency, quoting an unnamed Pakistani newspaper. The fighters will lie in ambush close to buildings, hilltops and hideouts considered potential targets for US troops, it adds. If special forces are seen, the squads will attempt to ram into them before exploding. The man behind the plan is a Moroccan, the newspaper said, supposedly a relative of Hashem Menqarah, a prominent member of Yasser Arafat's Al Fatah movement. ananova.com
