...statement by Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in which Khan identifies the London bombings as part of al-Qaeda's global jihad, and al-Zawahiri threatens further attacks.

To understand how 19th-century Americans felt about technology, historians often examine individuals' attitudes toward the railroad. Freeways offer a similar litmus: Although still beloved by automobile, trucking, construction, advertising and franchising executives, the roads are excoriated by academics, artists, writers and activists for diminishing communities, landscapes, public transportation and regional distinctiveness...
