...origin; Canadians returned the favor. Ottawa officials first suggested that it was a lightning strike at a plant in upstate New York, except that it was a lovely sunny day in Niagara Falls, and there were no reports of lightning anywhere. In the end, the two governments announced a joint task force to investigate, and President Bush said he would look into "why the cascade was so significant, why it was able to ripple so significantly throughout our system." But finding answers may mean reviewing yet again the lessons learned from four historic power failures going back to the 1960s...
Lakhani, 68, a Briton born in India, was arrested in New Jersey last week in a joint sting operation by the FBI and the Russian Federal Security Service for trying to sell a shoulder-fired missile to an informant posing as a terrorist. In what appears to be a coincidence, at almost the exact moment the FBI was beaming over Lakhani's arrest, security forces in Saudi Arabia discovered a document indicating that Saudi militants were casing King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh in preparation for an attack on a British target.

...worst news came out of a joint U.S.-Australian study in which scientists announced that the world's coral reefs may have only a few decades to live. The two biggest threats are diseases, which hit harder when coral organisms are environmentally stressed, and bleaching--the loss of beneficial algae due to rising global temperatures. The investigators involved in the study believe human impact goes back much further, to our hunter-gatherer days.

In 1999 Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, an al-Qaeda agent wanted for the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Tanzania, was found there flipping burgers at a fast-food joint. And German con man Jurgen Harksen, who had lived in the city since 1993, was extradited last year and convicted of fraud. "Perhaps they think we're at the end of the world," ventures a spokesman for Cape Town's mayor. "Little do they know. Our international links are strong...
...while living in San Diego he met with an ally of an Egyptian cleric imprisoned for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center attack. The FBI investigated, closing the probe in March 2000. Two months earlier, two hijackers moved to the area. Al-Aulaqi, according to the joint inquiry, held "closed-door meetings" with them. When he moved to Virginia in early 2001, two hijackers followed. After 9/11, al-Aulaqi told the A.P. he didn't recognize any of the hijackers' names...
