WRECKAGE OF A LOCKHEED LIGHTNING P-38 submerged in coastal waters near Marseilles, France, as the aircraft flown by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry when he vanished during a solo spy mission in World War II; in Marseilles. The fate of Saint-Exupéry, a well-known pilot and writer of the best-selling books Wind, Sand and Stars and The Little Prince, has been one of aviation's great mysteries since he disappeared on July 31, 1944, after being sent to observe German troop movements.

"It was his one hobby, to swim," Mohammed's brother later told me. "His fate was to die by the sea." The helicopter launched at least three Hellfire missiles as the four men in the car tried to flee. Afterward, there was little of Mohammed to bury besides his head. His real name, I learned, was Ahmed Ishtawi, a top commander in Hamas' clandestine military wing...
