...Johann Gutenberg High School in Erfurt, a quiet 13th century cathedral town in the state of Thuringia in eastern Germany. "It's the kind of thing you expect to happen in America," said a visibly upset anchorman on German television. With its tough gun-control laws and a murder rate less than a quarter of the U.S.'s, Germany is not exactly a hotbed of random gun violence. But just as with the 1996 shooting that killed 18 in an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, a single gunman can make statistics irrelevant in the blink...
...once fed the Kashmir rebellion, militants say. But the ISI seems unwilling to make an irrevocable breach with the guerrillas, in the event it later decides to rev up its clandestine support of them, according to foreign diplomats. The seven main suspects still at large in the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl last January all had indirect links with the spy agency through the Kashmir conflict, according to Western diplomats.

...also a fair specimen of passive aggression. Schiller, 65, has been treated for years as a world-historical ambulance chaser. A onetime photojournalist, he has made a career of tracking down the people involved in the great public squalors of our time--the Kennedy assassination, the Manson murders, the O.J.

"If someone gave me a gun, I'd kill a policeman," vows Gazala Qureishi, a pretty, 24-year-old business student whose anger draws respectful murmurs from the mourners. "I would empty all six chambers into him. I have the guts to kill those people, those stupid drunks who spill innocent blood here, rape girls, murder us, because we are Muslim." Qureishi's accusations are hard to deny: even hardened nationalists admit that an overwhelming body of anecdotal evidence and witness reports point to state complicity...
PHILIPPINES Hostages in Peril Police said they arrested two senior members of the al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf rebel group accused of kidnapping, murder and connections to bomb blasts in the city of General Santos last month. Officals said Salih Abdullah was an intelligence officer for the group, while Satar Yacub had been based on Basilan Island, where rebels are holding two U.S. citizens hostage. Earlier in the week, the group threatened to kill the couple, saying negotiations were closed...
