...unable to catch Osama bin Laden [WORLD, Nov. 25]. It took 17 years to catch the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski; 23 and 27 years, respectively, to catch Kathleen Soliah and James Kilgore of the Symbionese Liberation Army; and for six years and counting, Eric Rudolph, the alleged '96 Atlanta Olympics bomber, has been at large, happily grilling venison burgers deep in the backwoods of our own backyard.

European investigators are worried that the year-end holiday season will bring another round of al-Qaeda terrorism. Several major year-end assaults have been averted over the past few years, including "millennium bomber" Ahmed Ressam's foiled plot against the Los Angeles airport in 1999 and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid's bungled effort to bring down a Paris-to-Miami jet last Dec. 22.

...Could the same thing have happened in Paddy's? Very possibly, police investigators say. But police also say it is Samudra who, after his arrest, told them Iqbal was a suicide bomber. General I Made Mangku Pastika, head of the Bali investigation, thinks the apparent contradiction is easily resolved. He says Samudra is claiming Iqbal deliberately killed himself "in order to cover responsibility to the family." In other words, the man alleged to have played a key role in the massacre of nearly 200 people feels guilty that he may have also caused the death of a fellow terrorist...
