...city-state of Singapore is an impeccably well-ordered place. Bubble gum, for instance, has been banned for 10 years because it is too messy. One year ago, Islamic terrorists hatched a plot to wreck the island's placidity. They planned to bomb the U.S., Australian and Israeli embassies, Singapore government buildings, and locales where sailors from the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet congregated. Singapore is well policed, however, and the plot was discovered; 13 people were arrested. But although the bombers were foiled, law-enforcement agencies around the world, still digesting the attacks of Sept. 11, recognized that...
When the British air force raided the German city of Darmstadt on Sept. 11, 1944, the fires set by the incendiary bombs were so intensely hot that, of the night's 12,300 mortalities, the bodies of many of those who were trapped in underground shelters shriveled to the size of dolls.

Harvard diplomas can be purchased at Fakediplomas.com for a mere $39.95, but it seems unlikely that a PDF file could make for a convincing replica...
...Iqbal, evidence suggests he was unlucky. After all, the bombmaking expertise of Imam Samudra, the alleged coordinator of the Bali bombing and the man who passed Iqbal the explosives, is questionable. During a wave of bombings across Indonesia that left 19 dead over Christmas 2000, in which Samudra said he played an instrumental role, three of the attackers died when their devices exploded prematurely. Even more telling is the story of the last bomber Samudra personally sent out on a mission before Bali: the hapless Taufik Abdul Halim. According to his own court testimony, Taufik was dispatched to a Jakarta...
