...Iraq and a disputed U.S. bombing on the border with Afghanistan. Pakistani politicians claimed the U.S. had bombed a disused Islamic seminary inside Pakistan, but U.S. officials said that the incident took place on the Afghan side of the frontier. IVORY COAST Fragile Truce President Laurent Gbagbo promised to expel foreign mercenaries and stop aerial bombings, after government helicopters attacked a fishing village and left 12 civilians dead. France condemned the raid as an "intolerable" violation of the cease-fire between the government and the main rebel group, the Ivory Coast Patriotic Movement (MPCI). The attack took place...

Initially, Hussein incorrectly guessed that the United States would be unwilling or unable to garner enough international support to expel the Iraqis from Kuwait. Then, when it became clear during subsequent months that the U.S. had both the will and the capability to destroy his forces, Hussein grossly misjudged the efficacy of his own military, convincing himself that the Iraqi army could fight well enough to produce a bloody stalemate...
...another bagless vacuum cleaner, the Dyson DC07 has a brand-new way to take grime out of your carpet. It's called cyclonic separation. Whirling dirt and air within its eight cylindrical cyclones at speeds up to 600 m.p.h., the machine uses centrifugal force to trap the dirt and expel the air. Because there is no filter to clog, the DC07 never loses its oomph. Its "liquid steel" shell is made from the same plastic-metal polycarbonate as riot shields. And emptying the collected dirt is as simple as pulling the trigger. INVENTOR James Dyson AVAILABILITY Now, $399 TO LEARN...
