FULL COVERAGE: London Bombings Chemist Denies Any Role in London Attacks AP - 49 minutes ago LONDON - An Egyptian biochemist arrested in Cairo in connection with the London subway and bus bombings taught at a British university after taking graduate courses in North Carolina. Magdy el-Nashar, 33, has denied any role in the attacks during questioning by Egyptian authorities, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. A government official said el-Nashar was detained in Cairo between July 7, when the bombings occurred, and Wednesday. Attended North Carolina State University. I wonder if he got a scholarship.

Ted, Do you think its okay for tweenies or younger to see it? Tweenies or younger shouldn't even be playing this game. I haven't played "Grand Theft Auto," but I do know that the material is VERY adult. You carjack to make a living, serve crime lords, wage gang wars, etc. You even pick up prostitutes to replenish your health. No explicit images, but that's pretty bad in itself. I've never paid much attention but is there an age restriction on so called "adult" games? And NOW Hillary is outraged just because a downloadable hack allows kids to see graphic sex images in the game? If she had any sense of Internet street smarts, she would know that someone who knows where to download the hack is also someone who knows where to find porn. Heck, some of these underground web sites that carry such hacks also "hijack" browsers with porn ads, so for some, the porn comes looking for them. No, the hidden 'features' are just coming to light. They have been investigating Grand Auto Theft for some time..........its the one where you run down people at the drop of hat.....gratuitous violence and all that. ted
