Mark Lavie for the AP, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, six weeks after 11 September. The photograph is of an Israeli soldier on an armoured personnel carrier beside a road sign reading Kfar Sava in Hebrew and Arabic, and the caption names the town being surrounded:
Qalqilya — the same town four American papers called Jordan in 1956. The archive dated this clipping 27 October; the masthead says Monday, 22 October 2001, and that was a Monday.
