MONROVIA (Reuters) -<br>
Severe punishment<br>
awaits Liberians caught<br>
hawking pictures of<br>
Osama bin Laden, chief<br>
suspect in last week's<br>
terror attacks on the<br>
United States, police in<br>
the West African<br>
country warned on<br>
Sunday.<br>
<br>
Since the attacks last<br>
Tuesday,<br>
entrepreneurs have<br>
been running off<br>
pictures of the Muslim<br>
zealot for sale to eager<br>
buyers in the capital<br>
Monrovia -- driven more<br>
from fascination than support for his cause.<br>
<br>
"Anybody who is caught will be dealt with as a terrorist," said a<br>
statement from Liberia's police director, Paul Mulbah.<br>
<br>
Liberia, whose relations with Washington are badly strained<br>
over President Charles Taylor's past support for rebels in Sierra<br>
Leone, has vigorously condemned the attacks, which left more<br>
than 5,000 people dead or missing.<br>
<br>
Personal links remain strong between the United States and<br>
Liberia, which was founded by freed American slaves in 1847.<br>
<br>
Muslims make up about a fifth of Liberia's more than three million<br>
people. <p><a href=http://pub83.ezboard.com/bilovelabasketball>ILuvBB</a>

"My father conveyed a promise to my mother
that all of her children would finish school. It
was not a matter of whether I would finish, it
was more a question of when. I felt that my
time was the present. I had to fulfill my
promise and no money in the world could
have prevented that from happening.
Looking back, I know I made the right
decision."
