...bronze. Vernon Rapley, head of Scotland Yard's Arts and Antiques Unit, fears the worst. "They've either been rapidly exported or melted down" - a thought Rapley finds "quite repugnant." But the market price for raw copper has leapt 170% since 2003 to more than $4,800 a ton, driven by demand from countries like China and India. And with scrap prices also on a high, police in the U.S., Belgium, Poland, Switzerland and elsewhere are seeing a surge in thefts of items like copper cable and pipes.

Zawahiri is certainly a radicalized, visceral killer, driven by "a deep-down hatred" honed by his experiences in an Egyptian prison. Coleman believes the Egyptian contingent of al-Qaeda demonstrated a bloodlust unusual even among the committed jihadists.
