Three of the bombers lived in Leeds, an industrial city in northern England, and had grown up conventionally. All four were Muslims described by associates as amiable and law abiding but whose lives had taken a turn toward radical Islam that their loved ones did not detect. And contrary to the early assumption that the bombers had hidden explosives in their rucksacks and left them to explode or were unwitting mules for bombs their bosses had secretly armed, the weight of evidence suggests the attackers deliberately immolated themselves in the first-ever suicide bombings on British soil...
Tasmania has long been known for its beaches, not its golf. But having opened on the island's northern coast last December, Barnbougle Dunes is already considered one of Australia's top courses, drawing planeloads of new travelers to its sandy hills.

"I'm in debt to the banks and most people I know, and I can't even return home to visit my parents," says...
...India and Pakistan are to make peace, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh noted a few days ago, people have to want it. An attack by six suspected Muslim militants on a contested religious site at Ayodhya in northern India triggered protests last week, as Hindus marched in New Delhi shouting "Down, down Pakistan!" and forced roads and shops to close across the country. Police used water cannons to disperse demonstrators and arrested some 3,000 people.
