Tears glisten in Sencan Bayramoglu's eyes. The retired schoolteacher is describing how her son was one of 30,000 victims of the 15-year-long Kurdish uprising that ended with the capture and imprisonment of rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan in 1999. Bayramoglu's tears are not of grief, but of anger. Last week, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg ruled that, in order to comply with European law, Turkey must give Ocalan a new trial. Her fury is directed not only at Ocalan, whom she blames for her son's death, but also at the European institutions...
Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful memory. A sure recipe for film immortality; but death at 24, in the driver's seat of a Porsche 550 Spyder, doesn't allow much time for achievement.

...sophisticated is the insurgency in Iraq? While U.S. commanders believe the insurgents are growing desperate, a recent wave of coordinated large-scale attacks--such as the series of bombings that killed at least 30 Iraqis in Baghdad in one day last week--suggests that some rebel groups have become more organized. Videotapes obtained by TIME from sources close to the insurgency appear to confirm the existence of makeshift training camps inside Iraq to teach recruits guerrilla warfare. The camps are tucked inside villages and conduct weapons-handling drills in remote fields. One tape shows four men in uniforms gathered...
...wins, Cerezo has promised, he will pursue peace talks with members of the National Guatemalan Revolutionary Union, an umbrella organization composed of four armed rebel groups. He has also said he will ask the International Monetary Fund to renegotiate the country's foreign debt. Through it all, the military will be watching. Warns one foreign observer: "If chaos starts to set in, the generals will not waste any time taking the government back." --By Hunter R. Clark. Reported by Ricardo Chavira/Guatemala City
