...Nidal's legend relied as much on rumor as on his brazen acts of violence. His story is so riddled with reversals and lies, it is soap operatic, almost impossible to follow unless seen one installment at a time. Indeed, his various enemies are still arguing about whether his death, announced last week by Iraqi officials, was a murder or a suicide. The Iraqis claim that he shot himself in the head in his Baghdad quarters when they came to arrest him for spying for an undisclosed Arab nation. But Arab media reports and Abu Nidal's followers insist that...

Television cameras showed them being marched into a shack, six shots were heard, then six bodies wrapped in white sheets were carried out. But here in the deep south, it's the police who are afraid. Among the Malay Muslims...

Some Megawati supporters worry that the President could fall victim to her husband's increasingly brazen mixing of his personal, political and business lives. That's something Taufik himself is aware of. He told TIME: "This is a transitional period we're going through. We're going to make mistakes. There's a lot I have to learn, and I don't want to become one of the factors that brings down the President." For Taufik...
