Mohammed, up to the day he was caught, was an operational leader of al-Qaeda, using his many international contacts and four languages to keep the terror network alive. He had moved to Rawalpindi from a base in Quetta that was raided by local police and FBI agents on Feb. 13. Mohammed and another man escaped by leaping from roof to roof.

In delaying, France demonstrates a willingness to pass on the burden of dealing with these rogue nations to future generations—or to those current nations willing to act alone. Knowing that the United States, Britain and others will probably act alone, French leaders seem...
...According to Blair, the road map will set out concrete steps required of each side according to a specific timetable and clear benchmarks. The first phase, he said, would involve concrete measures to stop terrorism and restore security cooperation between the two sides, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all territories reoccupied since the onset of the current intifada in September 2000, and a freeze on Israeli settlement activity in the territories occupied since 1967.
