...proselytizing organization. Lashkar spun off two years later, attracting veterans of the Afghan war. It has taken responsibility for many hit-and-run operations in Indian-held Kashmir but says it never targets civilians. Nevertheless, two civilians and one soldier died in its December 2000 attack on Delhi's landmark Red Fort...
...meet at an agreed-on battlefield, fight to a decisive conclusion and not yield that field until one side was broken. The idea took root that war's central purpose was to "find and engage (the enemy) in order to end the entire business as quickly as possible."

Workers there have put up a Christmas tree and an iron cross found in the wreckage...
...ascending flight path. Technically, Calatrava's great wings are functional - when closed they shield the museum's arching skylight. In fact, their real function is pure glorious gesture, a flourish of structural brio. When opened their lovely wingspan gives the museum a stratospheric silhouette and Milwaukee a stunning new landmark...
