...Chirac, the political survivor, doesn't talk about the agents of anti-Semitism in France. "France is supposed to be one big happy family," says Emmanuel Weintraub, spokesman for the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF). "When Chirac beat Le Pen, there were lots of Algerian and Moroccan flags flying in the crowd at Place de la République. That's his constituency and he doesn't want to hurt their feelings." In a televised debate last week, French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy rejected any link between Israel and anti-Semitic attacks in France. "Anyone who explains...

They sit around a long oval table, with a chandelier listing overhead and helicopters whirring periodically, ominously, offstage. After heated debates on everything from Palestinian violence...
...addition to this new evidence about Zawahiri, a senior al Qaeda agent captured by Moroccan authorities in June 2002 has been identified as an officer in Saddam’s secret police. Abu Zubayr had worked in terrorist training camps in Afghanistan prior to Sept. 11, and later plotted to target U.S. and British ships in the Strait of Gibraltar. During interrogations, he has purportedly said that Iraq provided chemical weapons, and weapons training, to al Qaeda...
