...been nearly a whole day, and I had not yet gotten a progress report from Team Homeless. At just past dinnertime, I received a call on my cell phone from the pregnant epileptic, telling me that both men in her team had been arrested for not carrying identification, apparently a crime in Nevada. I explained the situation to the police, and the men were released. The following morning, I awoke to the news that a grandfather of one of the men had died, so the couples needed to return to Reno. Just another setback in accomplishing our goal; I could...
Even with bin Laden at large, the U.S.-led effort to dismantle his global network is yielding some returns. Last week Saudi officials announced the arrest of 13 al-Qaeda operatives believed to be planning attacks on U.S. military installations. American officials acknowledged that Syria has detained Mohammed Heidar Zammar, a German national of Syrian origin believed to be a recruiter for the Hamburg cell that produced Mohamed Atta (see box).

The U.S. has frozen his assets, and German investigators have him under surveillance. "You can imagine what my life is like," Darkazanli told TIME last month. "My name is known in the whole world. Every businessman is afraid to deal with me." Darkazanli should at least be grateful he isn't with his friend, in the hands of America's unlikely new ally...
...journalist. Kalugin, who lives in Washington D.C., ran the KGB external counterintelligence section in the late 1970s and then sided with the democratic movement in Russia in the late 1980s. RELEASED. LAI CHANGXING, alleged Chinese smuggler, from a Canadian jail; in Vancouver. Lai, who is now under house arrest, has been fighting to remain in Canada as a political refugee since he fled China in 1999. He had been jailed following a decision by Canadian immigration officials to deny him refugee status, saying he was trying to avoid Chinese prosecution for smuggling an estimated $10 billion worth of goods into...
