		According to some investigating journalists in Europe, the Ramstein air disaster was in fact a conspiracy, aimed at silencing pilots who participated in a 1980 secret mission to assassinate libyan president Gadhafi while he was flying home from a state visit to the USSR.

	Ukraine marks 11th anniversary of independence (09/01/02)
		KYIV - While the size and excitement of the crowds on the Khreschatyk for this year's Independence Day Parade mirrored those of years past, it was a relatively subdued celebration that Kyivans viewed on August 24, even as marching bands added a new twist to the event.
		In part, the toned-down atmosphere was in response to the several tragedies that the country had suffered in the last two months, including an air disaster and several coal mine explosions, which had resulted in hundreds of deaths.
		Nonetheless, Ukraine in general spared nothing as it celebrated its 11th year of independence on August 24, with commemorations held across the country in major towns and cities.
