...Sept. 11-style attack in the near future, the group is now more dispersed and thus more difficult to track. "They can operate in ones and twos," says a White House aide. German authorities nabbed one last week, arresting Abdelghani Mzoudi, 29, a Moroccan suspected of ties to the Hamburg cell of Sept. 11 ringleader Mohamed Atta. Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, U.S. intelligence officials are investigating reports that Ramzi Binalshibh, a Qaeda operative arrested in Pakistan last month, may have been the head of a fifth hijacking team, assigned to crash an airliner into the White House...
...name. Among the men detained in Karachi was one of the world's most wanted individuals: Ramzi Binalshibh, a 30-year-old Yemeni accused of involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks. Although Binalshibh was not among the hijackers, it wasn't for lack of trying. A roommate in Hamburg, Germany, of Mohamed Atta, ringleader of the Sept. 11 plot, Binalshibh had tried and failed four times to get a visa to the U.S. Investigators have long believed he was meant to be "the 20th hijacker," a suspicion confirmed in an interview Binalshibh gave this summer to the Arab TV station...
...Terrorism Pakistan and the U.S. scored a victory against al-Qaeda with the arrest of Ramzi Binalshibh. Two other suspected al-Qaeda members were killed and at least 10 were detained in a series of raids in Karachi. Officials believe Binalshibh, a Yemeni who belonged to al-Qaeda's Hamburg cell, helped plan the Sept. 11 attacks. He had been denied a visa to enter the U.S. four times. Germany said it would request his extradition. Elsewhere, Dutch police arrested the head of a Kurdish group suspected of links with al-Qaeda, while Italian authorities took 15 suspected terrorists, believed...

The information came from an investigation of Moroccan Mounir El Motassadeq, who was charged with 3,116 counts of accessory to murder and membership in a terror organization. El Motassadeq has denied involvement in the attacks...
...compulsive. I'm precise," says Martha Klein (Martina Gedeck), chef of a ritzy Hamburg restaurant. Precise, sure, but her loveless life still needs a bit of leavening. That comes in two packages: her balky 8-year-old niece (Maxime Foerste) and a lavishly charming Italian sous-chef (Sergio Castellitto). The setup and payoff of this German export couldn't be more conventional, but Nettelbeck is a sharp observer of life's surprises, and Gedeck has an appraising, intelligent beauty. Her Martha is like the film: tart on the outside, sweet on the inside, with a delectable aftertaste. --By Richard Corliss
