he was not involved..............


DOHA, Qatar -- An Qatari man has been shot dead by security guards after
opening fire at an airbase in Qatar, which this week hosts a meeting of the
World Trade Organisation, the Arabic language TV network al Jazeera
reported on Wednesday.

The Qatar news agency said the man was killed at the Udeid airstrip on Wednesday
morning.

The airstrip, which is about 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of the capital Doha, is
being used by U.S. military aircraft in line with a military co-operation agreement
between the United States and Qatar.

World Trade Organization chief Mike Moore said the attack was not related to the
WTO meeting.

"This is a very, very sad incident, but it is unrelated to the conference," Moore told
Reuters.

Asked if it would affect the November 9-13 WTO conference, he replied: "I don't
believe it will affect the conference."

Ministers from the WTO's 142 member states will try in Doha to agree on an
agenda for a new round of global trade liberalisation talks.

Swanspirit, I am very glad that your son is ok. I lit a candle for his continued well-being tonight. And he sounds like a fine young man. I f he knows the peaceful place within himself, and can feed the birds from his hand, then he knows what he is fighting FOR, and can do it with dignity and purity of intent.

The warrior path has been belittled, cheapened, and exploited for far too long. Our world is in desparate need of warriors, as opposed to soldiers and killers. I hope you are proud of him.

BB,
