...this sounds familiar, it probably should. Throughout the cold war, complacent Americans watched with disdain as promising youngsters behind the Iron Curtain were plucked from home and hearth and sent to spend their childhood in athletic camps where they would be ruthlessly forged into international competitors, exemplars of the totalitarian ideal...
This prayer is now answered. Summer films are ready to creep over to the dark side, where anxiety about what's behind the door or outside the camp tent can drive people nuts. This isn't last summer's type of teen-scream movie. The new films, a dozen due for release this year, are essays in mature terror, for and about grownups, with big or serious stars and a few A-list directors.

Ibrahim Hussein Abdel Hadi Eidarous, 42, and Adel Mohamed Abdul Almagid Bary, 39, who are accused of transmitting faxes claiming responsibility for the blast, bring the total number of suspects in the attack currently in custody to eight...
