...studies of repair-station parts bins were mind boggling: 43% of the parts bought from manufacturers were bogus; a shocking 95% were fraudulent when they came from parts brokers. With brokers, the repair stations had very little chance of buying genuine parts. Again the FAA argued that the parts we found were authentic; they were just missing their labels...
...Peshawar, a key transit point for supplies for U.S. and NATO forces fighting the Taliban insurgency in neighboring Afghanistan. While the operation was nominally successful - Bagh and his men were driven from the area and his compound was blown up - the militant leader was back on his pirate radio station a few hours later, vowing to continue his fight for an Islamic state. In Swat, once a tourist haven 100 miles (160 km) from the national capital Islamabad, militants burned down the country's only ski resort and torched 21 girls' schools. A spokesman for Mullah Fazlullah, the local Taliban...
...Hurley's version of events was untidy. He and the drunken Doomadgee had wrestled as they approached the police station and fallen as they entered it.

A drunken detainee in the station at the time, Roy Bramwell, told investigators he'd later had a partial view of Hurley pummeling Doomadgee. In his summing up at the trial in Townsville, prosecutor Peter Davis scoffed at the idea that a man could land on another...
After dropping the man off at the police station, al-Moussawi's force was back on the road - this time to investigate a tip about a weapons cache. At a nearby graveyard filled with garbage, the police uncovered a small collection of rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and mortars - rusty remnants of the Iran-Iraq war, which al-Moussawi said militants now pack with fresh explosives to reuse...
...offensive has been tough, Amara's commanders say, but they're not going it alone. Shortly after the morning's mission, four American soldiers visited al-Moussawi's station to inquire about progress made in dismantling an office used by the Sadrists. One of the soldiers, who said they were under orders to prohibit the press from photographing them, put the number of American troops brought into the area since last month at around 1,000. They are also building a new forward operating base in the area...
