...gain the ability to infect humans by mutating on its own, without mixing with a human virus, much as SARS did. Yi says the latest outbreaks show that the virus has become endemic to the region, with a difficult-to-eradicate foothold in migratory birds, creating a biological time bomb that could go off without warning. With wide-scale production of an H5N1 human vaccine several months away at the earliest, experts are urging governments to clean up poultry farming and transportation, reassess live-market practices and intensify disease surveillance in birds and humans.

When the chairman of the U.S. appointed Iraqi Governing Council, Izzedine Salam, then the country's highest Iraqi official, was assassinated last month in a car bomb Zarqawi quickly claimed credit. Now he shows the act, in graphic footage shot from a parked car: A convoy of white SUVs disappears down a Baghdad street, followed a moment later by a ball of flame and explosion so intense the windscreen through which the cameraman films cracks before your eyes...
