...Qaeda and its acolytes have certainly managed, over the past five years, to kill hundreds in terror strikes on Bali and Madrid, Istanbul, London and perhaps even New Delhi. But none of those attacks has come close to matching 9/11 in scale of devastation - or, just as importantly, in organizational sophistication. And despite regular taped warnings delivered on Al-Jazeera, al-Qaeda has managed no further attack on the U.S. mainland...
What do a small south Texas cable company, a suburban Virginia cable provider and Web-hosting servers in Delhi, Montreal, Brooklyn and New Jersey have in common? Since fighting broke out in Lebanon, they all have had their communications portals hijacked by Hizballah. Hackers from the militant Lebanese group are trolling the Internet for vulnerable sites to communicate with one another and to broadcast messages from Al-Manar television, which is banned in the U.S. In the cyberterrorism trade it is known as "whack-a-mole" - just like the old carnival game, Hizballah sites pop up, get whacked down...

"The government hasn't recruited any new forest staff in 15 years," she says. Remarks Valmik Thapar, one of India's foremost tiger experts and the director of a conservation group called the Ranthambhore Foundation: "The government just doesn't have the will to save the tiger...
...effort to comply, the companies mistakenly blocked hundreds of other blogs hosted on the same servers. The government issued a new directive instructing ISPs to resume "unhindered access" to all but the specified websites, but the reaction online was immediate and furious, with dozens of sites accusing Delhi of trampling free speech. The closure even drew comparisons to China's policing of websites for political and sexual content. "India," wrote Manish Vij on the blog Ultrabrown, "is now in the august company of some of the world's least free nations." The Indian government can legally block sites promoting hate...
