Shortly after Haradinaj's election, investigators from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the Hague came to Pristina and questioned him as a war-crimes suspect. A few days earlier, the tribunal's chief prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, had told a NATO meeting in Brussels that she was preparing a "solid" indictment against "the K.L.A. leadership."

Moscow, too, is confronting anti-semitism. On Jan. 13, 500 prominent Russians, including 20 members of parliament, sent a letter to the state prosecutor calling for a ban on all Jewish organizations, which they labeled "extremist." It was withdrawn after government pressure, but after six decades the twisted mythologies of Nazism are still finding adherents...
...betrayed a subordinate and fed evidence to the FBI. According to court papers, federal investigators, with help from "a high-ranking member" of the family--presumed to be Massino--secretly tape-recorded Vincent Basciano, the family's acting boss, as he plotted the murder, never accomplished, of a federal prosecutor. Massino is the first boss of a New York family to cooperate with the FBI. The last don, indeed...
