Could you please post sources/links for these stories. I'm having trouble finding them elsewhere.

Here is the link:

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2904893.stm

However, this looks like the kind of page that changes
daily so the link may be useless soon.

It wasn't that difficult to find; do a search on
news.bbc.co.uk for "buses", restricted to
01/04/2003 and you'll find it.
