...whether what we "know" about him from the Scriptures bears much resemblance to the truth, or whether the New Testament story is mostly a fabrication created by the early Church. Believers' fascination with relics might make for an interesting study in human nature, but - another discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls significance excepted - relics cannot shed much light on whether we can put any trust in the truth of the New Testament. It seems to me that the great vehemence with which the Vatican attacked Dan Brown's fictional work The DaVinci Code was not because of concern about his story...

One of the pirates' "mother ships" spotted the tanker and deployed three small skiffs to surround it. Dashishle told TIME that the pirates simply had to brandish their rocket-propelled grenade...
...lawyer but will be charged in due course, say state-government sources. According to the police, Kasab left his impoverished parents in Faridkot, Pakistan, and joined the LeT. The group allegedly trained him in weapons and drafted him into its marine detachment, supposedly organized to infiltrate India by sea. According to the transcript of his statement, supplied by the police, Kasab said, "We were told that our big brother India is so rich and we are dying of poverty and hunger." His family, Kasab claims, was promised some $4,000 if his operation - essentially, a coordinated suicide strike...
