...they searched for Yousef after the 1993 bombing. A man named Khaled al-Shaikh Mohammad attended Chowan College in North Carolina in 1984, but the FBI isn't certain he is the man they want. In 1995 Mohammed was in Manila, where Yousef planned the so-called Bojinka (Serbo-Croat for explosion) plot to blow up airliners as they flew from Asia to the U.S. The scheme was uncovered when a fire broke out in an apartment doubling as a bomb factory. Yousef escaped, only to be captured in Pakistan a month later, but documents and computers left...
...worth remembering that for all his destructive desires, Osama bin Laden hasn't accomplished crimes anywhere near as dastardly as those of which Milosevic is accused. From Sept. 21, 1991, when Serb paramilitary shot 11 Croat civilians in Dalj and buried their bodies in a mass grave, to May 25, 1999, when, during the forced evacuation of the Kosovo village of Dubrava, Serb forces killed eight ethnic Albanians, the former President is charged with responsibility for crimes that resulted in the deaths of 300,000 non-Serbs and the expulsion of millions from their homelands...
...that someone has suddenly come up with a way to make them wolf-proof, but one of the array of stories that follow in this European Journey special report is about a man who makes cases no Russian wolf would want to chew.

Today, Pantelic numbers among his clients Yo-Yo Ma and Anner Bylsma, he of Servais fame...
...snaring of Milosevic was a triumph for the eight-year-old court and its chief prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, who spent months barnstorming through Western capitals demanding his transfer. The tribunal has gone after Serb, Croat and Muslim suspects and successfully prosecuted 19 defendants, but until now has yet to bring to dock the supreme commanders of the Balkan wars. American officials who pressed the Yugoslav government to give Milosevic up, conditioning aid on his handover to the U.N., also claimed vindication. "Today's unfolding events demonstrate the wisdom of our position," crowed Joseph Biden, the chairman of the Senate...
TIME recently spoke to a former Red Beret, now in hiding, who described joining the unit just before it overran his hometown of Mostar in southeastern Bosnia on a cool fall day in 1991: "They took about a hundred Muslim and Croat civilians--men and women--from a shelter and lined them up on the banks of the Neretva River," recalled the heavily scarred Bosnian Serb, now 28. "Standing on the other side, I watched as five of the Red Berets executed them all. Some were shot; others they knifed or bludgeoned with rifle butts as they screamed for mercy...
