...base in Quetta that was raided by local police and FBI agents on Feb. 13. Mohammed and another man escaped by leaping from roof to roof. A third man was detained; he turned out to be Mohammed Abdel Rahman, the son of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind Egyptian cleric currently in a U.S. federal prison for plotting to blow up New York landmarks in 1995. After the son's arrest, the two missing men were traced to the house in Rawalpindi where Mohammed was eventually arrested. "We weren't sure we had the right man," said a Pakistani officer...
...member in the Clinton Administration, says he cannot imagine Iraqis tolerating an American governor for more than a couple of months. Others say the real danger is not that the U.S. would stay too long but that it wouldn't stay long enough.

It's like stumbling upon a quiet caf? in a forgotten corner of an Egyptian bazaar, with a welcoming proprietor eager to keep his guests content...

The hummus and babaganough were well-executed old favorites, but it was the zingy zabadi, a creamy yogurt mixed with mint and cucumber, that had me digging in with a spoon.
