Environmentalists have joined scientists' call to urge governments to cut pollution by introducing more efficient heating stoves in developing countries and turning to solar power and other clean sources of energy. "We need sustainable growth in every city in this world," says Edwin Lau Che Feng...

Experts will tell you that off-the-shelf digital-editing software could manipulate old bin Laden voice recordings to make it sound as if he were discussing current events. Finally, there's the mystery as to why bin Laden didn't pop up during the U.S. election.
