Though significantly degraded by the U.S. military campaign and the global antiterrorist dragnet, bin Laden's network seems intent on proving that it is still in business and is casting about for new targets. French and U.S. officials believe the Oct. 6 explosion that ripped a large hole in a French oil tanker off the Yemen coast, killing a Bulgarian crew member, was the work of terrorists linked to al-Qaeda. The blast closely resembled al-Qaeda's October 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden. Two days after the tanker blast, members...

Their mission: to assess the health of the park's somewhat trampled woodland ecosystem in order to better preserve it. The creatures they collected were sorted and sent to various taxonomists for positive ID, which is how this one ended up in the hands of Richard Hoffman, curator of invertebrates at the Virginia Museum of Natural History...
...more hours than Fox airs in prime time all week, and 6 1/2 more than last fall. This beefed-up squad will include a lot of cops you haven't seen before--except that, really, you have.
