...news back in Turkey," says Iraz Karan, 27, a Berlin-born Alevi whose parents come from Turkey. "The traditions that became Turkish Alevism exist all over the Arab world and are very diverse." Alevis follow the Shi'ite path laid down by Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law Ali, but with a twist. "Orthodox Shi'ites say the entire Koran is the word of God," says Metin K??k, director of the Berlin center. "But we differentiate between Muhammad's inspired verse and the rules he came up with later on, when he was an administrator and warrior." That means...
...emotions instead. Maybe Saddam could tape a couple of sessions with his psychiatrist and send them to Al-Jazeera. If Saddam really cared about winning over our adoration he could spill his guts about the family troubles he’s been having since he murdered his defector son-in-law, or he could have a manly cry about not quite destroying Iran in the 80’s. None of these regrets would have to be sincere—when Tony confesses to his psychiatrist he rarely means it—but just by publicizing the image...
...vengeance. On Sept. 26, a Rangoon court found four members of the family of former Burma dictator Ne Win guilty of treason for plotting to overthrow the country's ruling military junta. The sentence: death by hanging for Aye Zaw Win, Ne Win's 54-year-old son-in-law, and grandsons Aye Ne Win, 25; Kyaw Ne Win, 23; and Zwe Ne Win, 21. Few tears were shed over the convicted.

Despite more than 30 searches for various unconventional arms, inspectors did not even know of its existence until mid-1995, when Saddam's defecting son-in-law Hussein Kamal revealed that secret labs buried in Iraq's security, not military, apparatus were cooking up deadly germs. Iraq subsequently admitted it made batches of anthrax bacteria, carcinogenic aflatoxin, agricultural toxins and the paralyzing poison botulinum. Iraqi officials reported they had loaded 191 bombs, including 25 missile warheads, with the poisons for use in the Gulf War. They said they destroyed them...
...General Intelligence. But Abu Shouqa could not shield his son Haitham, 14, from his own choices, and the boy chose death. Abu Shouqa's hands, honed as hard as stone by martial arts, now are knotted into big, clumsy fists, pressing hard against each other. He sweats with the difficulty of controlling his rage as he talks about Haitham. He will not say what he would have told his son, had the boy confessed his plans to his father. "Some feelings I keep to myself," he growls. His son-in-law whispers later that Abu Shouqa is furious with Haitham...
