...close deputies, such as Abu Atiyya; and, once back in Europe, many received orders at some stage from Abu Doha, a high-ranking Algerian al-Qaeda operative now imprisoned in Britain. Abu Doha is awaiting extradition to the U.S. for his alleged role in directing Ahmed Ressam, the confessed "millennium bomber," whose plot to attack Los Angeles International Airport was thwarted in December 1999. Virtually everyone linked to the Strasbourg plot - a network of people that spanned Ger- many, Italy, Spain, France and Britain - has been in contact with Abu Doha.

...ALBERT EINSTEIN Twice before, TIME had widened the sphere of the POY--in 1949, when it designated Winston Churchill Man of the Half-Century, and in 1989, when it named Mikhail Gorbachev Man of the Decade. Now, at the millennium, it was time to pick the figure who towered over the entire 20th century and laid the groundwork for the 21st.

The 840-sq. m brewery, opened in 1997 by the son of a teetotaling Methodist minister, makes 10 different original brews, from Singapore Pale Ale to Oatmeal Stout to Millennium Lager, available in a yard-size glass for a whopping $20 apiece. Like many other large brewpubs, Brewerkz also sells its microbrews in take-out bottles?but only on the premises. "We haven't pushed it to the greater world because I don't want to compete with the 900-lb. gorillas," says managing director Devin Kimble...
...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, arrested by police in London last month under Britain's Terrorism...
