...doom the visit this week by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who was due to fly into the Middle East to provide impetus for peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians. "In light of the Israeli aggression, such communication has no meaning," said Abbas' spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina...
...Reman," as it's called in the trade, "is the rebirth of a product," says Nabil Nasr, a reman expert at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. It's not the same thing as repairing a broken part, which is often a short-term fix. In reman, once the disassembled bits are cleaned and reassembled, the result is as good as new. It's not a recent concept; Reman's roots go back around 100 years to the advent of the auto industry. And vehicle parts still comprise around 75% of the global market. But the industry...
Freed detainees have scores of horror stories to tell. Though most of the accounts have not been corroborated, the scandal makes anything seem possible. Nabil Shakar Abdul Razaq al-Taiee, 54, a retired electrical worker who was arrested last December, told TIME that as recently as March, he witnessed soldiers beating prisoners, including a mentally unstable man who was thrown in a shipping container and pummeled and taunted for days.

...Only civilians live here. There is no Hizballah. Why did they hit us?? asks Mustafa Hashem, a diamond merchant whose uncle lives in an adjacent building. But the street looks familiar to this reporter, who interviewed Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, Hizballah?s southern commander, several years ago in his office in a building located where the missile-struck block stood. At the beginning of the campaign, Israeli jets bombed Qaouk?s home in the village of Jibsheet, a few miles to the north of here. But Qaouk has apparently gone into hiding with other top leaders, which perhaps explains the lack...
