...well as the Air Force--are loitering in the skies over Afghanistan, largely invisible from the ground but able to spot objects 4-in. across from 16 miles away. Their prey is what the Pentagon calls "high-value mobile" targets--like SUVs suspected of ferrying bin Laden from one hiding place to another. The combat record remains secret, but Pentagon officials claim that Predators have fired dozens of Hellfires "very successfully...
Some of the strongest support for the U.S. effort against al-Qaeda has come from a surprising quarter: Jordan. Senior Jordanian officials tell TIME that in the past few months their country's intelligence has thwarted at least two attacks tied to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.

...nuclear-bomb recipe taken from a parody website. Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge insisted last week that the nuclear documents tell us no more than we already knew. A U.S. official in Washington who is monitoring what's being found goes further, telling TIME the documents suggest that bin Laden had been frustrated in his efforts to get or build a bomb. On the other hand, it stands to reason that fleeing operatives would have tried to take the most damning evidence with them...
