...collapse of the PA's infrastructure as Israel bombed and reoccupied much of the West Bank and Gaza in response to Palestinian terror attacks has further enhanced Hamas's popular authority.

Riot Acts SERBIA Dozens were injured in Belgrade riots following the arrest of war-crimes suspect Veselin Sljivancanin, the Yugoslav army colonel indicted for the slaughter of more than 200 prisoners of war in the Croatian city of Vukovar in 1991.

This followed a seizure in Bangladesh on May 30 of a stash of radioactive uranium. Now, an unheralded arrest reveals that terrorists may be experimenting with yet another deadly agent: poison...
...came within a whisker of being captured by Indonesian police in early June. According to regional intelligence sources familiar with the events, Azahari and another suspect in the Bali blasts were tracked down to a town in southern Sumatra. Alerted that something was wrong when police moved in to arrest a third JI suspect in the same town, Azahari and his companion fled, escaping moments before the police arrived. That narrow miss could have grave consequences. "Commanders like Azahari are the dangerous ones," says a senior regional intelligence official. "If we can get Azahari and maybe seven or eight others...
