| #2 The problem is internal to the Dawn website, Johnnie. I ran a search on the title, and it's there, but clicking on their link give a 404 Error, whatever that is. But, Google has it cached here. Hurrah for Google! |

| #1 The link to this article is "broken." But boy what a strange article, of so many bodies of militants being exhumed from graveyards. I'm also concerned about the whereabouts of the six kilograms of hashish (as a scientist). |
