...bombing was the first such attack in the middle of the capital since a suicide bomber detonated himself on an army bus on Sept. 29, killing at least 35 Afghan National Army soldiers. But it came a day after a bomb planted on a little-used road on the fringes of the capital exploded, killing four. And on Saturday, a suicide bomber blew himself up in the town of Paghman, 15 miles outside Kabul, in an attack on Italian military engineers building a footbridge. One soldier and eight Afghans were killed in that attack, including three children. The Taliban have...
...that it would not recognize a March 14 president and would consider such a move a "coup." Paul Salem, director of the Carnegie Endowment's Middle East Center, said that if March 14 tried to elect a president, Hizballah would try to stop them physically from meeting.

For their part, Israelis avoid the Arab side of Abu Tor. A Jewish-American widow who lives in the apartment building next door...
...always a little tricky negotiating the road from Broadway musical to major motion picture, strewn as it is with the burned-out hulks of vehicles like 2005's The Producers and Rent.

...positive step forward for him to do some positive things for us.” THREE-PEAT For the third year in a row, a nail-biter between these two teams ended with a double-digit victory margin. Two years ago, Harvard held a 51-49 lead on the road with less than four minutes to play before pulling away for a 70-55 victory. Last year, the Crusaders returned the favor, breaking a 63-63 tie with four-and-a-half minutes to play at Lavietes and streaking away for the win...The victory was Holy Cross?...
