While the circulation of national morning newspapers has dipped 2.3% since February, distribution of Metro, Associated's morning London giveaway, has risen almost 10% to 549,000 copies a day.

If Islam teaches peace and respect for the sanctity of life, why then the terrorism by Hizballah? Why the continuous provocations on Lebanon's southern border? The world should rise...

More than one plane from London was turned back, and at least seven British Airways flights had to be canceled because U.S. officials took so long conducting background checks of passengers.
