There was nothing unusual about the small ferry as it chugged across the Cape Town harbor and dropped anchor at Robben Island...
Even a Little One like Bonnie, of course, can do plenty of harm. Some half a million people were forced to flee inland last week, as the 400-mile-wide storm--mammoth in size even by hurricane standards--swirled toward Cape Fear, N.C. And though Bonnie's 115-m.p.h. winds slowed rapidly as she lumbered inland, her forward progress slowed too, with the result that the storm hovered over the state and pummeled it for more than a day. Downed power lines robbed over 240,000 people of electricity. Even worse than the winds were the rains--more than...

Rounding up the usual suspects shouldn't prove too difficult for the police -- when a representative of a group styling itself Muslims Against Global Oppression called a local radio journalist to claim responsibility, the journalist is reported to have potentially recognized the caller's voice.

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...
