Staining the nails, skin and hair with
henna is the favorite way of enhancing beauty amongst women in the Middle East. It is used as a hair treatment as well as a dye to make
decorative designs on the skin. The art is known as
mehndi. Henna
markings remain on the skin for about twenty or thirty days.

On June 22, 1985,
Air India flight 182 left Montreal en route to Delhi with 329 passengers aboard, most of them Canadian. Four hours later,
an explosion in the baggage compartment destroyed the plane, killing all on board. Premiering tonight on CBC television,
this documentary (trailer) recounts the final hours, days and weeks before the plane disappeared off Irish radar screens. It reveals the story of how Canada’s first major counter-terrorism operation failed to thwart the conspiracy and details the errors that resulted in the world’s most lethal act of aviation terrorism before Sept. 11.
