Sometime after 2 p.m. on March 12, 1993, a man parked a scooter in Zaveri Bazaar, a busy jewelry market in Bombay, and walked away. Forty minutes later, the scooter exploded, killing 17 people?just one in a series of explosions in the city that day which killed 257 and injured over 700. It remains India's worst-ever terrorist attack. Last week, more than 13 years later, a Bombay court convicted 42-year-old salesman Mohammed Shoaib Ghansar of planting the scooter bomb. He was only the fifth of 123 defendants to be convicted of involvement in the blasts...
...Conservative pundit known as the Prince of Darkness; assumed (wrongly) by liberals to be Bush lackey.

"We don't care what someone's riding," says Bramble, "whether it's a 250-cc or a motor scooter." Bramble happens to have a fine set of wheels-a Honda ST 1300-but there's not a trace of pride about him. He taught himself to ride when he was 13 and spent most of his 25 years in the police force on motorcycle patrol in Sydney and the Hunter Valley. Riding...
Outed CIA agent Valerie Plame says Dick Cheney ruined her career--and she wants him to pay. Plame and her husband Joseph Wilson filed suit last week against the Veep, Karl Rove, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby and other officials. Here's our brief...
