Heard on some BBC news report re-broadcast on local American radio station:
The Pakistan government is, and has been for some time, in serious financial trouble. They are close to defaulting on some of their loans, which would devastate their economy. They had struck deals with some foreign nations, including the United States, for extended credit. This may be among the reasons why Pakistan is cooperating with the U.S.'s hunt for the terrorists – were the Pakistan government not to cooperate with the U.S. in hunting down the terrorists, it is very likely that the U.S. would withdraw its financial help from Pakistan.
Death toll at the Pentagon is now 190 including those on the plane.
The original footage shown on CNN of Palestinians celebrating did not occur on Tuesday. It was shot in 1991, showing Palestinian reaction to a bombing in Israel. At the time that the planes hit, it would already be evening in Palestine, yet the video is clearly in the daylight.
Yahoo! reports that some of the 10 people arrested at airports were carrying knives similar to those used by the terrorists. Also, some had links to the same Florida flight-school.

It starts with an article and then there’s so message boards discussion. An interesting note in one post says that Sept. 11 is a national holiday in Pakistan, which is why some people there were celebrating.
National Public Radio (NPR) reported earlier today that investigators in Europe have traced Tuesday’s terrorist attacks (or at least strong, active support for them before they happened) to a small extremist group in Hamburg, Germany. They had not established any link between this Hamburg group and Osama Bin Laden at that time.
