...world's terrorist hunters. Turkish analysts say many of the 21 suspected militants charged so far in the bombings trained in al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan before 2001--and perhaps with Ansar al-Islam, an al-Qaeda-linked group that was based in the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq before the U.S. invasion. Mehmet Farac, an expert on Turkey's Islamic militants, says Hizballah may have linked up with al-Qaeda planners over the past year to regain ground it lost after its leader, Huseyin Velioglu, was killed in a police shoot-out in 2000.

...more veterans made the trip to the northern reaches of the Empire State, but seniors Kenny Turano and Dave McCulloch weren’t on the team bus. Turano broke his ankle in just the second game of the year and will likely miss the remainder of the regular season. McCulloch suffered a high ankle sprain last week and may not return for a month.

Roughly 8,500 U.S. soldiers are busy hunting down the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and some 5,300 NATO troops are required for security in Kabul. That is because 30,000 unruly, battle-hardened and under-paid Northern Alliance soldiers remain in the city, and their commanders, who despise Afghan President Hamid Karzai, have ignored the allies' polite requests that they leave. Manpower is not the only problem. NATO, for all its wealth and might, has only three working helicopters at its disposal in Afghanistan...
