...state visit to Britain, the violence served up a taunting reminder that his war on terrorism is far from won. Indeed, Turkey appeared to be the newest front in a wave of terrorism strikes that have spread across the Muslim world in the past six months from Iraq to Morocco to Saudi Arabia to Indonesia, making this Ramadan holiday a bloody season. Fearing the campaign was not over, London and Washington issued broad warnings of possible imminent attacks against British and American interests abroad. In Muslim countries, the chosen targets have symbolized mainly Western and Jewish interests--Jakarta...
...terrorists' strategy, says an adviser to Morocco's King Mohammed VI, is to create chaos aimed at undermining moderate Muslim governments. In February, Osama bin Laden, in a tape, labeled Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, Yemen and Pakistan countries "enslaved by America" and thus "the most eligible for liberation."

France's Jacquard calls the tactic a new "strategy of rupture." The purpose, he says, is to force Muslims "to finally, fatally decide whether they are for or against righteous jihad." Jacquard says Saudi intelligence officials told him the Riyadh bombers who struck on Nov. 8 picked their...
Senior punter Adam Kingston boomed kicks, averaging 38.3 yards per attempt while sophomore place kicker Jim Morocco nailed his only field-goal try—from 30 yards—while making four of five extra points. Only his final effort was blocked, and by then the game was already well out of reach...
