...three and deferred 21 suits against the city of Moscow brought by Lyudmila's husband, Igor, on behalf of victims and families involved in last October's Chechen hostage crisis. "Everything is clear now," Igor said. "The other complaints will also be struck down." Trunov argued that, under Russian antiterror law, the city should compensate his 61 clients for the three-day siege of a Moscow theater by Chechen separatists. The raid at the Theater Center on Dubrovka ended - as did the lives of 41 guerrillas and about 130 of their more than 800 captives - after Russian troops filled...
...European targets. Zarqawi has ordered trained operatives into Europe, Beth told a meeting of the German-Atlantic Society in Berlin: "He has experience with poisonous chemicals and biological weapons ... and has become highly active. Something big is in the air." Such apprehensions are shared by Milan's lead antiterror prosecutor Stefano Dambruoso, who told TIME that "the network is beginning to move again. Enough time has passed for them to reorganize and re-establish contacts across Europe." The French too were alarmed. "We're absolutely scrambling here," said a harried top French terrorist judge. "Every light in every service...
...daring rescue raid. As early as Day One of the hostage standoff, diggers had been tunneling underneath the theater in preparation for an assault. Now in the early hours of Saturday, gunshots from inside had forced into action the waiting Spetsnaz commando troops in the elite Alfa and Vympel antiterror units of the Federal Security Service. The Chechen hostage takers, it seemed, were about to fulfill their death vow.

...terror attack. The wad of plastic explosives - similar to that carried by alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid - had been wedged beneath an armrest with no detonation device attached. It was found by sniffer dogs during a random inspection of the flight from Marrakesh, Morocco. French antiterror officials said the find may have thwarted a two-step plot, in which one operative planted the bombing material for an accomplice to outfit with a detonator and explode during a later flight. RUSSIA Bloody Ingush Dozens of Russian servicemen and Chechen separatist rebels died in heavy fighting in Russia's republic of Ingushetia...
...Indonesia's inaction contrasts starkly with its neighbors' aggressive antiterror measures. Singapore has repeatedly displayed its resolve, not only through its announcement last week but through the arrests of 15 alleged terrorists earlier in the year for a plot to bomb U.S. interests there (masterminded, says Singapore, by Ba'asyir). Local authorities say the fresh detentions foiled plans to target a range of facilities in the republic, including the Defense Ministry, Changi International Airport, water pipelines and communications installations. In the Philippines, meanwhile, officials last week apprehended four Indonesians, one of whom they accuse of being linked...
