...working with allies South Korea and Japan, as well as Russia and China. But Pyongyang, which pulled out of a nuclear non-proliferation treaty in January, insisted that only direct talks with Washington will do - and seemed intent on persuading its people that a U.S. attack was imminent. Air-raid drills are conducted daily, and conditions steadily worsen in the impoverished nation, which is under an oil embargo imposed by the U.S. and its allies. A severe winter hasn't helped. The energy shortage is apparent in classrooms, where students wear coats and gloves; in apartment buildings, where elevators...
...coalition, it's a relative certainty that Tuesday's election will return Sharon to power - and lead to a continuation of current policies. And of the current deadlock. Suicide bombers continue to strike inside Israel and gunmen attack settlements; Israeli troops maintain their occupation of the West Bank and raid Gaza's population centers. Sharon says he has a peace plan but says he's waiting for an end to Palestinian violence and the effective ouster of Yasser Arafat before it can be implemented; the Palestinians maintain that little can change in their political dynamic as long as they remain...
...whose governments Abu Hamza regularly denounces. Indeed, many moderate Muslims have drifted away from the North London Central Mosque, put off by Abu Hamza's jihad rhetoric and the shifting crowd of itinerant young Muslim men, many of them Algerian, to whom he offers shelter and anonymity.

Trunov argued that, under Russian antiterror law, the city should compensate his 61 clients for the three-day siege of a Moscow theater by Chechen separatists. The raid at the Theater Center on Dubrovka ended - as did the lives of 41 guerrillas and about 130 of their more than 800 captives - after Russian troops filled the hall with an unidentified gas and then stormed the building. The terrorists were overcome by the gas, shot and killed. The same...
Neighbors were jolted from their beds before dawn last Friday when Spanish police burst into flats in an apartment block in the small country town of Banyoles, north of Girona. Simultaneous raids were taking place in a dozen other apartments across northeastern Spain. By the end of the day, investigators held 16 suspects - 14 believed to be Algerian and two believed to be Moroccan - of the 20 originally detained. They discovered large quantities of bomb-making material, manuals on chemical warfare, and equipment to manufacture false credit cards and identity documents, as well as a cache of timers, fuses...
