A group calling itself Muslims Against Global Oppression said the Tuesday evening blast that killed two people and wounded 21 was in retaliation for the strike on Afghanistan and Sudan.

The crowd at the Riverbend amphitheater roars its agreement: 18,500 otherwise respectable people, many in full tropical...

What's more, iron oxide crystals on the rock suggest it was formed at temperatures eight times higher than boiling water -- too high to support life. Not that this means the Red Planet is and always was a dead planet; we just have to look at the other rocks, that...
