...kidnapped her as she walked to school in March 1998. "He came towards me, grabbed me and bundled me into his white van ... I tried to scream but I just couldn't utter anything," she said. When they arrived at his house, Priklopil wrapped her in a blanket and took her to the cellar, which was only reachable through a fortified iron door. He then forced her to take off her shoes, which he burned, telling her, "You won't be needing them again...
...festival changed titles frequently - from the U.S. Film Festival to the Utah/U.S. Film Festival to the United States Film & Video Festival to the Sundance/United States Film Festival to, finally, Sundance.

This was where Nazi officers separated those deemed able to work from the other new arrivals, most of whom were immediately taken to the gas chambers. Israel, then 17, and his two brothers, Eli and Aaron, last saw their parents here. Within weeks, Israel's brothers would also be dead...
Osama bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the failed bombing of a Northwest airliner on Christmas. That's not surprising, but what should be is that it took him nearly a month to do so. Either it took all of that time for news of the plan to reach him, or he's lying. And if he's lying, we need to consider that the man is completely irrelevant...
