    Politics in Pakistan and International Terror

    President Pervez Musharraf has not captured or killed Osama bin Laden. Maybe Pakistan's new coalition will. Political changes make terrorist leaders increasingly vulnerable, as the US reviews its billions of dollars in aid. Also, twenty-two people are killed in weekend tornadoes, and corporate American embraces Second Life.

    President Pervez Musharraf has not captured or killed Osama bin Laden. Maybe Pakistan's new coalition will. Political changes make terrorist leaders increasingly vulnerable, as the US reviews its billions of dollars in aid. A survivor of two suicide bombings talks about the urgency of immediate action to reduce real threats to Europe and America. Also, twenty-two people are killed in weekend tornadoes, and Second Life is more than a game for big corporations who can save money in virtual reality.
