...where did that body fly to? Perhaps it was snatched up by God and taken straight to Heaven. Ahmads teacher, Shaikh Rashid, the imam at the mosque upstairs at 2781 1/2 West Main Street, tells him that according to the sacred tradition of the Hadith such things happen: the Messenger, riding the winged white horse Buraq, was guided through the seven heavens by the angel Gabriel to a certain place, where he prayed with Jesus, Moses, and Abraham before returning to Earth, to become the last of the prophets, the ultimate one. His adventures that day are proved...

According to a senior Pakistani antiterrorism official, he is being held at a military base on Diego Garcia. Pakistan's Interior Minister, Faisal Saleh Hayat, told TIME "there's a strong...
...this month. Two weeks ago, Hambali moved into a one-bedroom apartment in Ayutthaya, Thailand, a tranquil, mainly Buddhist town one hour outside Bangkok. He may have hoped to lie low for a while--and, perhaps, plot his next lethal strike. Earlier this year Hambali's former boss, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed--once the No. 3 official in al-Qaeda and now in custody--told interrogators he had given Hambali about $50,000, a U.S. intelligence official told TIME. His instructions were to "do something...
