...already living here will also be questioned and printed. In a matter of seconds, the prints will be matched against an FBI database stocked with thousands of fingerprints lifted from locales as varied as al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and motels in Italy and Spain frequented by Osama bin Laden sympathizers. Once cleared, the visitors will be kept on a short leash, required to check in with the INS every time they change address and before they leave the country...

The 15th Scout Company of the Armed Forces of the Philippines sensed an opportunity to strike at its elusive prey: Abu Sayyaf, the kidnapping gang that once formed part of Osama bin Laden's terrorism network. When the deluge began on Mindanao Island, the 30-odd bandits stopped to put up makeshift tarps for themselves and their three hostages--a Filipina nurse and an American couple, Martin and Gracia Burnham.
