STRUCK DOWN? Pakistani officials said last week that the Jan. 13 U.S. air strike on the village of Damadola may have killed as many as four al-Qaeda operatives. Pakistan had previously claimed that the strike, which killed 18 civilians and provoked anti-U.S. protests, had missed its intended target, Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's deputy. Among the operatives believed to have been killed were ABU KHABAB AL-MASRI, left, a top bombmaker who ran a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. Pakistani officials say that the strike also killed ABU UBAYDA AL-MISRI, an al-Qaeda commander...

...race is extremely close, but all polls show the front-runner to be former Mexico City mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (who goes by the acronym AMLO). Still, some put his lead as low as 1% while others have it as high as 7%. His left-wing, anti-U.S. positions (which he describes nevertheless as "respectful") have given his candidacy momentum, especially in light of the unproductiveness of President Vicente Fox's "amigo" policies towards the big neighbor to the north. Fox's own party, the right-wing Partido Accion Nacional (PAN), repudiated the President's handpicked candidate, Interior...
...deepened the malaise. Close allies like Mexican President Vicente Fox have been ignored. Plans for liberalizing immigration went back to the drawing board. "One day Bush was our mejor amigo, and the next he wouldn't take our phone calls," says a former Fox aide. Now the distinctly anti-U.S. former mayor of Mexico City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is the front runner for the July 2 presidential election. Being a friend of America has become a political liability...
