...Great Wall of China to Vatican City, the Statue of Liberty and the Taj Mahal. UNESCO seeks to make war activities "which are intended, or may be expected, to cause long-term or severe damage to the properties" a war crime under the Geneva conventions. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Argentine President Carlos Menem are among world leaders endorsing the initiative...
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak reportedly has warned Sudanese officials that they are risking a military clash with Egypt by allowing the camps to operate, and the U.S. is considering adding Sudan to its list of countries that sponsor terrorism, but none of that so far appears to have had much effect. Many terrorist organizations and their sponsors seem for the moment to be lying low.

The allied chief preferred to deal almost exclusively with the Saudi...
Last week the Egyptian Supreme State Security Court acquitted Khaled and four others. Six received suspended sentences. Nine, including the group's alleged leader, Mahmoud Noureddin Soleiman, drew sentences ranging from three years to life. President Hosni Mubarak, who will review the verdict, is expected to uphold it.
