Agent Horan found herself in Nairobi last week presiding over a makeshift command center in the partly wrecked railway station bus park across from the embassy. Her task: to supervise 215 FBI agents in both capitals, along with explosives experts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, as they sort through concrete rubble, twisted metal, bits of glass--every scrap of debris that could yield the vital physical evidence that might identify who was responsible for the senseless violence...
...attack Tuesday, the Real IRA insisted so many people died in the predominantly Catholic town because the police misread their warnings. Not so, said Tony Blair, and the British prime minister promptly released an audio tape of the group's first phone call to a Belfast TV station. "There's a bomb, courthouse," it says. In the event, people evacuated from the courthouse were led directly into the street where the car bomb stood.

The label is spending $500,000 at 28 radio stations this year for 10-second commercials to run with songs by Garth Brooks, Steve Wariner and Suzy Bogguss. The ads remind the listener of the singer's name, the record label and where the album can be bought. Though the label does not pay for airplay, the commercials (which run only when the song is played) are an obvious incentive for the station to play...
