...Breininger, 21, had disappeared a month earlier from his hometown in the southwestern city of Neunkirchen. According to German investigators the former skateboard rider then resurfaced in Egypt, where he tried to learn Arabic. A few weeks later, investigators say, he traveled, via Iran, to the tribal areas in northern Pakistan. Officers at Germany's Federal Crime Agency believe he has since received training in weapons and explosives. Fearing that he could slip back into Germany to carry out an attack, they have put him at the top of Germany's most-wanted list. (Read TIME's Top 10 lists...

Days said he has experienced the crowding first hand. “I felt like a sardine,” he said of an experience last summer on the T. Mary C.

Eventually, I left to walk through the wreckage of Hanwang. Unclaimed bodies lay under bloody sheets. A 20-ft.-tall (6 m) statue of a rider on horseback had been decapitated by the violent shaking. The hands of a clock in a tower in the town square were stuck at 2:28 p.m. When I returned to where Deng was waiting, two covered corpses were lying outside the massage parlor. A family member identified Deng's mother...
