What al-Faruq may not have known was that in early 2002, U.S. and regional intelligence officials had picked up his signal. On Feb. 25, according to intelligence reports, the CIA informed regional counterparts that three Indonesian-based Islamic militants had established a training school for terrorists on the island of Borneo. Indonesian investigators discovered that four MMI operatives, including al-Faruq, had held training exercises at the same location. While al-Faruq initially managed to stay beyond the reach of authorities, some of his closest associates ran out of luck. In March Dwikarna was arrested in Manila after airport...
Over the next month, he put Reeve through a battery of tests. Magnetic-resonance imaging showed that the signal commanding the finger originated in the correct region of the brain, meaning that at least one clean circuit was intact. With a little coaxing, Reeve brought more circuits online, learning to move other hand joints, wiggle his toes and push back when resistance was applied to his feet. Though he had noticed some sensation returning, he hadn't realized how much. A standard test with a cotton ball and a safety pin revealed that he was sensitive to a pinprick over...
...Bush administration has dismissed Saddam's offer as a ploy designed to avoid a military strike rather than a signal of penitence and resolve to become a global citizen in good standing. Saddam's track record certainly supports Washington's skepticism, but most of the Europeans and the Arabs fear the consequences of a U.S.-Iraq more than they fear Saddam's regime, and they'll insist on taking Iraq's offer as an opportunity to address Iraq's weapons programs through renewed inspections. After all, they don't share the U.S. policy of regime-change, and appear to ready...
...such demands will be enforced. Mindful of the danger of losing momentum, the Bush Administration will work to ensure that Saddam be presented with the most unpalatable possible inspection regime backed by the immediate threat of force. But Monday's letter suggests that Saddam's game plan is to signal compliance on arms inspections in the hope of isolating Washington on regime change. When the Bush Administration took the Iraq issue to the UN it signaled that Saddam Hussein was being given a final chance to comply with the international community's demands. Saddam's response suggests that this final...
...three companies that pledged last week to donate stem-cell lines to the new publicly funded U.K. Stem Cell Bank. Many challenges remain. In addition to ethical and intellectual property rights issues, scientists are still some way from understanding or controlling the processes whereby cells differentiate - the genes, signal pathways and other factors that promote or inhibit cell development. And they are still debating the best way to expand the process so that millions of patients can be treated with stem cells. Transplantation poses its own problems. Patrik Brundin, a professor of neuroscience at Sweden's Lund University, started transplanting...
