...group Hizballah, which helped drive Israel's forces out of Lebanon two years ago, has boosted its support for the intifadeh. In January Jordanian officials arrested three Hizballah guerrillas for trying to smuggle weapons into the West Bank. Israeli officials say the group was behind a cross-border raid into northern Israel that killed six Israelis last month. On Saturday Hizballah launched a new attack on Israeli soldiers guarding the country's northern border. In an interview with TIME, Hizballah's deputy secretary, General Naim Qassem, said, "It is our duty to be by [the Palestinians'] side and offer them...
...biggest complaint most financial experts have about the Xers is that while they may stockpile 401(k) dollars some years, they don't hesitate to raid them the next. That's something 60% of workers--and 78% of those between ages 20 and 29--do when they change jobs. And Xers change jobs often.

And the longer the surveillance dragged on, the more likely the watchers were to be spotted by Zubaydah's team. So they struck...
...more than 50 al-Qaeda suspects were caught in night raids around Faisalabad and Lahore on March 28. More arrests were to come. In Peshawar five Sudanese training at a flying club were detained, and FBI agents pored over the school's alumni roster, looking for known al-Qaeda operatives. Last Monday police in Lahore arrested an additional 16 al-Qaeda suspects. Many of the Arabs and Afghans caught in the Faisalabad raid have been flown out of the country, according to Pakistani authorities, probably to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the U.S. is interrogating captured Taliban and al-Qaeda members...
