I have another en passant question and I apologize if it is silly--I'm no
chess expert.  May a pawn making an en passant capture of another pawn
also capture a piece that is in the square it is moving to?  So for
example:

1. black knight jumps in front of an unmoved black pawn.
2. white makes some move
3. black pawn behind the knight moves forward two squares.
4. white pawn takes the knight behind the black pawn.

I'm pretty sure this is a valid move, and the knight would be captured. 
But would the black pawn also be captured 'en passant'?
