...Yemeni-based, American-raised cyber pen pal of Army Major Nidal Hasan who is accused of killing 13 Army personnel at Fort Hood in November - is now living in Yemen and may have been in contact with Abdulmutallab.

...first signs of illness in Suleiman Djarra appeared during a heavy rainstorm a few years ago. The 2-year-old suddenly stopped eating and then developed severe diarrhea, which continued for days, draining him of energy.

Aiseta Traor watched in horror last February when another of her sons, Ablaye, developed symptoms similar to Suleiman's. "I was terrified," she says. But once she started administering the tablets to her 2-year-old, he "came back to life," Traor says. Some 3 million children have died of diarrhea since Suleiman did. Now donors and governments have a chance to end this global tragedy. Let's hope they...
