...view of many experts on terrorism, it was al-Zawahiri as much as bin Laden who launched them. Placid looking, almost avuncular--especially for a man who has been sentenced to death in absentia by the Egyptians--al-Zawahiri, 50, is by choice a less visible symbol of terror than bin Laden. Three years ago, at a small press conference in the Afghan city of Khost, bin Laden announced the formation of the World Islamic Front for the Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, an umbrella group of radicals from across the Islamic world.

It began to question Nasser's management style only in March. The following month, projected results for the year fell so sharply that Nasser was told privately to get his management house in order and reduce the number of top executives (21) who reported directly to him.

...fall of Mazar-i-Sharif would be a body blow to the Taliban, but not a mortal one. The city is far beyond the movement's traditional heartland, its capture having served as a symbol of the Taliban's ambition to rule over all of Afghanistan. Its fighting forces reportedly remain strong and resolute in the west, south and east of the country, and their will to resist appears undiminished. Still, the loss of Mazar-i-Sharif on the eve of winter would be a timely reminder that while they may well hold out for many months yet, time...
