...ragtag idealists armed with sticks, stones and World War I-era .303-cal. rifles seemed to employ a strategy of dying for their cause of ending monarchy, caste and feudalism: nearly 2,000 had perished while gaining little ground. But since Nov. 23 when the Maoist rebels ended a four-month truce and launched a string of attacks across the nation, it has become clear that the rebels, who take as a model Peru's brutal Shining Path, have transformed themselves into a lethal force. Since then, Nepal's civil war has claimed another 900 lives. Peace negotiations have been...
NEPAL Red Alert King Gyanendra declared a state of emergency and ordered troops into battle after Maoist guerrillas broke a four-month truce with a series of deadly attacks.

The Ripper worked methodically and ruthlessly, taunting authorities with letters and sending half a kidney to Scotland Yard over the four-month period. Unlike the psychological profiling so common in today’s police forces, the Brits were entirely unprepared to deal with a rash of violence so brutal and monumentally evil. After the murder of Mary Kelly, the killings stopped, but no suspect was arrested, and his true identity...
...been running tests at this site for six years," says exchange vice president Pat Gambaro. The exchange is paying Comdisco $5,000 a day, anticipating a two- to four-month stay before it can find a new permanent home. The alternative? "If we didn't have a backup site, another exchange would have taken over our trading," says Gambaro. "We'd be out of business." The exchange's temporary digs--surrounded by auto-body shops, garment factories and an elevated train--are a far cry from Wall Street. But trader Chris O'Neill, 33, is glad to be working...
