...lamb. Not so for Ingo Maass. The German-born executive chef at Dubai's JW Marriott is out to change the traditional culinary take on the Arab world in a cookbook titled Dubai: New Arabian Cuisine, written by Lutz Jäkel. Along with his counterparts, Frenchman Christian Jean, Egyptian Amgad Zaki and Syrian Khalil Zakhem, Maass - who has built a reputation for successfully inventing new takes on old standards during his decade-long tenure in the United Arab Emirates - has created an informative, user-friendly tome with 120 culinary creations. The 256-page book applies a Euro-fusion ethos...
...windmills, a group of white-gloved, green-uniformed installation specialists have gathered round the much earthier canvas of Judy Watson's Aboriginal Shield, which has come all the way from Wollongong. Around the corner, Ken Thaiday Senior's tiger-shark headdress occupies a cabinet where early Greek and Egyptian antiquities are normally housed.

Later that year, the Milan anti-terrorism prosecutor Antonio Spataro began investigating whether CIA agents had rendered an Egyptian prisoner, Abu Omar-Osama Nasr, illegally from Italy. Spataro told Grey that among the findings that most surprised him was the high-ticket hotel bills in his city; two alleged CIA agents under the names of Monica Adler and John Duffin spent $18,000 in a three-week stay at the Milan Savoy. Spataro has since issued warrants for their arrest, along with...
...Forrell, a Swedish border official, described to Grey in January 2005 how the Gulfstream V jet N379P, also registered to Premier Executive Transport, touched down at Bromma, an airport used for small aircraft, one night in December, 2001, while he was on duty. They were there to collect two Egyptian asylum-seekers living in Stockholm, whose deportation to Cairo had been approved earlier that day by Swedish cabinet members. On board the jet were American men wearing black ski masks - who joined two men in business suits, who introduced themselves as coming from the U.S. Embassy, in Forrell's office...
