In the aftermath of terrorist attacks like the London subway bombings, it is often tempting to conclude that those who purposely commit suicide in the service of mass slaughter must be sick, evil, not quite human; they are not us. But as investigators pieced together the fragments of the plot that left at least 55 dead, Britons were forced to confront a reality nearly as disturbing as the attacks themselves: the killers were their own. Three of the bombers lived...
...rucksack. As the police investigation into the bombings continues, a conversation is taking place on streets and in cafés, mosques and church halls, playgrounds and council chambers. Its purpose: to try to fathom why Kaki and three other apparently happy, home-loving men turned to slaughter. The outcome of that debate will help shape how the whole of Britain copes with its future. The conversation has a special urgency among British Muslims. Many feel implicated in the attacks carried out ostensibly in the name of their religion. Yet there is also anger - anger at the ignorance of some...

Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi taunted the U.S. and Israel, declaring that a retaliatory strike against his country, which openly supports and encourages Nidal and his accomplices, would set off a "tit for tat" cycle of violence. Libyans, warned Gaddafi, would harass Americans "in their own streets" and spread bloodshed throughout...
...killer has become known, were an adulterous wife and her lover. On Aug. 21, 1968, they were shot to death as they lay in the front seat of a car parked in the countryside. In the back seat, the woman's six-year-old son slept undisturbed through the slaughter. The victim's husband was convicted of the murders and sent to prison. The man was innocent, as became clear six years later, when the Monster struck again, killing another couple in similar fashion. Ballistic tests showed that the murder of the second couple was committed with the same...
