...drug hype and ipos. The vast majority of the drugs and companies soon failed, and the stocks crashed. Another bubble surfaced in 1999-2000, largely driven by excitement over the mapping of the human genome. In the 18 months before March 2000, the American Stock Exchange's biotech index rose 563% while the nasdaq rose 238%. Both plunged in the next two years. Now biotech is hot again.

Escaping the U.S. bombardment, he returned to his native Saudi Arabia and reported to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, plotting "second wave" attacks on Americans and their allies until Mohammed's arrest in Pakistan last March. As more and more al-Qaeda field leaders were rounded up, al-Ghamdi rose in the ranks, safely hiding in Saudi Arabia until the May 12 attacks galvanized the kingdom's rulers into cracking down. U.S. officials believe al- Ghamdi has knowledge of conspiracies now being hatched all over the world, and that he could reveal previously unidentified sleeper cells...
