...plot itself is marvelously simple--an elegant story about an auto mechanic (brooding Nino Castelnuovo) drafted to fight in the 1950s French-Algerian War and the girl (achingly lovely Catherine Deneuve) back home. It could be a country song, or a classic short story, or a Doctor Zhivago epic. But the film's sense of place--capturing the wetness, char and sadness of provincial Cherbourg--and its compassion for all the characters sets it apart. I would love to say it's the story that gets me. But when I recall the film, that's not what comes back...

While police found no signatures that prove the provenance of the timing devices in Ressam's car, the units were "strikingly similar" to ones produced at bin Laden's camps...
...attention as he came off the ferry at Port Angeles, Wash. It also explains why he was careless enough to leave a paper trail. Ressam's pockets produced a scrap of paper scribbled with the name "Ghani." That took the FBI to their next suspect, Abdel Ghani Meskini, an Algerian expatriate living in Brooklyn, N.Y. A snitch told the FBI that Meskini had said Ressam's instructions were to "take the explosive-laden vehicle to a parking lot and walk away from it," according to a federal complaint. And Ressam carried a phony credit card that led to Montreal shopkeeper...
