BBC News | MEDIA REPORTS | Al-Qaeda note suggests 'attack on London' (#)
„The notebook is said to have contained plans to detonate a 480kg remote control device "to be left in a van parked preferably in Moorgate, in the City of London". The planned attack is reported in both The Observer newspaper in London and the Expresso newspaper, based in Lisbon in Portugal. UK special forces have played an active role in the Afghan campaign Expresso said neither the author of the notes nor the time they were written were known, nor was it known whether the document was "simply a hypothetical exercise". But The Observer says the author of the notebook may have been a British fundamentalist.“

„Now no-one appears to have time for this. The Museum is a place where people can come and learn about the history of tea and coffee and have a cup of tea (leaf) or coffee (ground). It's to remind people what we had," he says.“

The country earned some $260m from coffee in 2001-02, just over one-third as much as it brought in four years earlier.“
