("Analysts say Hsiung Feng III, designed to cruise at a maximum speed of mach 2.0, or twice the speed of sound, with a range of up to 130 kilometres (80 miles), are difficult to defend against")

I am not familiar with anti-ship missiles, but there is no need to take the quotation seriously, or read the rest of the AFP report.

("在这段视频里，本.拉登的胡子是黑色的，显示他染了胡子以维持他的公众形象。官员说，在他被打死时胡子是花白的。官员说，这段视频是去年下半年录制的，而其他片段上没有日期。其他三个视频是准备这段视频的试录版")

("在那一段录像中他乱蓬蓬的胡子已经花白。但是在另一段录像中，他显然为了录制一段题为“致美国人民的信息”的宣传录像，已经把胡子染成黑色，并且修剪整齐；据信，这段宣传录像是去年10月或者11月录制的")

My comment: There is no need to read (d) or (e). What is important in these two reports is Mr Bin Laden (1957-2011; age 54) had actually white beard but trimmed and dyed it black before making video tapes to communicate his points; and that one video tape showed him, in white beard, watching his communication tapes--possibly intending to edit them.
