I’m back from a trip to England that was, among many other things, empty of blogging. There’s a lot to say about things I saw and did there, but for now here’s a quick recap of the two news stories I heard most about in the UK:
Iran “captured 15 British sailors”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6484279.stm for supposedly entering Iranian waters which later turned out to not be true. The raid was in fact a retaliation for the US capture of Irani soldiers which I suppose is fair considering that Iran isn’t a declared enemy of the United States.
Pakistani cricket coach Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room after an upset loss to Ireland. It turns out that “he was killed”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6482981.stm although investigations are ongoing into whether it was a case of crazed fans gone mad or something more.
