...connections with Abu Doha, an Algerian now in high-security Belmarsh prison suspected of being an al-Qaeda operative. Doha, who is apparently connected with alleged terrorist cells around Europe, is also awaiting extradition to the U.S. as a suspect in the plot to blow up Los Angeles International Airport on Dec. 31, 1999. Meanwhile, raids last month in Edinburgh and London netted eight further Algerian terrorist suspects, while two Algerians arrested 16 months ago in Leicester - the first suspects to be charged in Britain with direct links to al-Qaeda - were due again in court this month. Britons were...
...longer be as powerful as he once was, but his people still dread the ubiquitous network of informers that help him rule by fear. On the surface, everyone in Baghdad loves their leader as they cross the Saddam bridge to the Saddam hospital or pass the Saddam airport on their way to the Saddam shopping complex or take a look at the half-built Saddam Mosque.

Both the U.S. and Yemen have requested extradition, but the Justice Ministry said the men would likely be sent...

Abu Doha is awaiting extradition to the U.S. for his alleged role in directing Ahmed Ressam, the confessed "millennium bomber," whose plot to attack Los Angeles International Airport was thwarted in December 1999. Virtually everyone linked to the Strasbourg plot - a network of people that spanned Ger- many, Italy, Spain, France and Britain - has been in contact with Abu Doha. After he was arrested, French sources maintain, the operatives looked to another man, Rabah Kadre, for their orders...
...Israeli government and, therefore, don't get municipal funding. Israeli Arabs are much less likely to go to college and, in a security-conscious country, they're constantly questioned by police on the streets. Others complain that it takes them much longer to get through Tel Aviv airport security checks than their Jewish fellow citizens. And when they do elect the handful of Arabs who sit in the Knesset, Israeli Arab voters complain the legislators spend more time gabbing about their cousins in the West Bank and Gaza than they do focusing on domestic discrimination. The crackdown is also limiting...
