October 8, 2010 A US terror alert issued this week about al-Qaida plots to attack targets in western Europe was politically motivated and not based on credible new information, senior Pakistani diplomats and European intelligence officials have told the Guardian.
October 8, 2010 Americans die sooner than citizens of a dozen other developed nations and the usual suspects - obesity, traffic accidents and a high murder rate - are not to blame, researchers reported on Thursday.
October 8, 2010 A clear consensus of opinion emerges within the scientific community on an important issue, such as climate change. But the public, and its elected leaders, remains unconvinced and unreceptive to well-founded warnings.
