...changeover is more than merely ceremonial. Yes, the early days of Zapatero's government - like the final days of his predecessor's - will be overshadowed by the fallout from the March 11 Madrid bombings. Two days before his inauguration, three more men - a Moroccan, a Saudi and an Egyptian - were detained for questioning in connection with the attacks; on Saturday, a Bosnian on a police wanted list turned himself in.

...battle raged, Bush Administration officials played down expectations. Officials said U.S. intelligence could not confirm reports of al-Zawahiri's whereabouts. But the possibility that he might be cornered sent pulses racing. Since the late '90s, the Egyptian has served as bin Laden's chief tactician, personal doctor and spiritual guide. His elimination would mean the al-Qaeda command structure that plotted the 9/11 attacks would be almost completely wiped...
