Harvard saw its defensive play break down in the 25th minute when a fluke handball by junior midfielder Will Hench in the box gave the Terriers a penalty kick.

A group calling itself Muslims Against Global Oppression said the Tuesday evening blast that killed two people and wounded 21 was in retaliation for the strike on Afghanistan and Sudan. A group of the same name had protested against President Clinton's visit to the city earlier this year, which suggests the attackers may have been part of the tiny radical element...
