Imam Vehbi Ismaili, R.I.P
For the record, I did not put this in the Islamic thread because Vehbi Ismaili was a major figure for not just the Islamic cause but for all Albanians as well. He was good for all man kind.
If you did or did not know him, Imam Vehbi Ismaili was an amazing man. Words can't express what a man he was. Later I'll have more bio information but for now I thought I'd post his death since the services and funeral will be soon (to get the word out). Once my dad returns from his house, I should know more on the details. I also plan to call his wife later myself so I will post an update.
Imami was in his 90's, exactly how old, I'll have to post later however; his whole life was dedicated to the Albanian and Islamic cause. He is known world wide, and has published many books himself. I am saddened to report his death to you all. Last week when I saw him at the hospital, I could tell he wasn't going to make it much longer, yet his spirit and words were so amazingly great, brought me to tears. Truly touching. I had plans to see him today unfortunately however; he didn’t make it that far.
RIP IMAM VEHBI ISMAILI......YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!

Game of cat and mouse blacks out Albania's capital
TIRANA (Reuters) - A cat chasing a mouse in Tirana's main power station caused a 72-hour blackout across parts of the Albanian capital, the electricity company said on Friday.
"A cat and a mouse ran into the high-voltage cables," a company spokeswoman said, showing pictures of the electrocuted animals. "We took pictures because we've never had anything like this."
Albanians complain bitterly about the power cuts that have plagued them for decades, and are mostly blamed on drought and the dilapidation of the communist-era grid. Most homes and shops in Tirana rely on petrol generators.
