...mass destruction and that only his demise will do the trick. Former U.N. inspectors tend to agree. In eight years of policing the country, they found and destroyed sizable quantities of his weapons of mass destruction, but not all of the ones he was known to have. Since inspections broke off in 1998, Saddam is widely believed to have retooled and restocked chemical and biological agents and brought his nuclear program back into high gear, while vastly improving his capacity to hide it all. His history of deception and game playing makes a fresh attempt to root out the arsenal...

...clan's National Conference party; if it won the election, he would have become the state's chief minister. When votes were tallied at a local convention hall (named after his grandfather) in Omar's intended constituency of Gandherbal last Thursday, his supporters eagerly followed the count. But Omar broke away and parked himself beneath a tree, where he sipped coffee and flipped morosely through an airport thriller.
