...Visitors have also been flocking to Dubai for its international sports events, such as the Dubai World Cup, horse racing's largest pot, and the Dubai Desert Golf Classic, which attracts top players, among them Tiger Woods. Another major attraction is the annual Dubai Shopping Festival. Its price reductions in fashion and electronics outlets temporarily turn Dubai into a mecca for the material world. Gambling may not exist here, but partying certainly does. There are no strict Islamic bans on alcohol?or on basically having fun in public?as in neighboring countries.

Shortly after coming to power, he organized his Tonton Macoute, meaning bogeymen in Creole...
...tall man with stylishly unkempt hair and no beard who wore Western clothes, Zougam hardly looked like an Islamic fundamentalist. He did not appear religious. In Lavapies, a Madrid melting pot of North African, Chinese and Indian immigrants, Zougam ran a locutorio, one of the popular shops where you can make cheap phone calls abroad.

Among Zougam's customers was Yarkas. According to the November 2001 indictment against Yarkas, police tapping...
