GERMANY Al-Qaeda Arrests In an apparent breakthrough in the effort to apprehend members of al-Qaeda, German police arrested two Yemeni men in a hotel at Frankfurt airport. The arrests were made at the request of U.S. officials, who suspect the men of being members of the terrorist network. Authorities believe one, Mohammed Ali Ahssan al-Moayyed, is a high-ranking fundraiser for al-Qaeda, though neither is thought to have been directly involved in Sept. 11. Both the U.S. and Yemen have requested extradition, but the Justice Ministry said the men would likely be sent...
...more important arrest may turn out to be that of Slimane Khalfaoui, 27, a French citizen of Algerian origin and a veteran of Bosnian and Afghan jihads. Material evidence has tied Khalfaoui to a Frankfurt cell busted in December 2000 as it allegedly prepared for an attack on the Strasbourg Cathedral. He has also been linked to Ressam's failed millennium plot. Evidence and testimony indicate that both plots were overseen from London by al-Qaeda's main European terrorism commander, Abu Doha, an Algerian Islamist arrested in February 2001. Khalfaoui has also been linked to Doha associate Rabah Kadre...
...will be the same this year," says a French official. In an effort to disrupt any potential strikes, French authorities last week arrested Slimane Khalfaoui, a 27-year-old French citizen of Algerian origin and a veteran of jihads in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Material evidence ties Khalfaoui to a Frankfurt cell busted in December 2000 as it prepared an attack on Strasbourg Cathedral.

Evidence and testimony indicate both...
...throughout his life that is what he chiefly considered himself to be. For the most part, art history tends to treat him the same way. The show of Sheeler's photography that runs at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, through Feb. 2, then moves to New York City, Frankfurt and Detroit, is the first major museum exhibition devoted entirely to his work with a camera. Organized by Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. and Gilles Mora, it's an enjoyable reminder that Sheeler was in the first ranks of American photographers. As a painter, he now seems less adventurous than quasi...
...What better way to show off Bottega's new look? The Art of Shopping American artist Barbara Kruger is credited with paraphrasing Descartes to say: "I shop, therefore I am." The world's favorite pastime is celebrated in the exhibition, "Shopping: a Century of Art and Consumer Culture," at Frankfurt's Schirn Kunsthalle until Dec. 1, then at Tate Liverpool from Dec. 20 to March 23. One of Kruger's pieces, two huge eyes under the legend, you love it, you dream it, you need it, you buy it, you forget it, is too big to fit in the museum...
