...courage build deep in our hearts. In many ways, Greengrass is telling a spiritual tale. “United 93” is a thriller, yes, but it both begins and ends with a prayer—the rhythmic Arabic chanting of the four hijackers in a New York hotel room and then between passengers reciting the Lord’s Prayer and the hijackers again praying as the plane sways towards the velvet Appalachians. “United 93” is a superbly shot film, with strikingly poignant sequences that heighten the spiritual feel—the airplanes...
Paul Rusesabagina, who was general manager of the Hotel des Milles Collines during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, delivered a stirring address to a full house last night at the First Parish Church. “That year, I learned how to deal with evil,” Rusesabagina said.

Rusesabagina, who was made head of the Belgian-owned hotel soon after the genocide began, is seen as a hero for his role in guarding the 1,268 Tutsis and moderate Hutus who sought refuge at the hotel from...

Fifteen Egyptians are currently on trial for the October 2004 attack on a hotel in Taba that killed 34 and a blitz last July in Sharm El Sheikh, the Sinai's premier resort, that left at least 64 dead. Egyptian officials believe that the accused operated an Islamic extremist cell in the Sinai, calling itself Tawheed and Jihad and relying on sympathetic local Bedouin for logistical support...
...Eyewitnesses told TIME that after sunset about 7 p.m. a bomb apparently placed in a sack exploded in front of the Al Capone restaurant. A few seconds later, another explosion occurred in front of the Neptune Hotel 100 feet across a footbridge on the promenade, which runs along Dahab's windswept beach. Another few seconds later, 100 yards further down the walkway past the Tota Dance Bar, a third bomb exploded in front of the Mona Lisa jewelry shop. Mohammed Ali, who runs a computer shop on the promenade, lost two friends amid the carnage, both waiters at beachfront restaurants...
