Amerikaner möchten Internet als Infoquelle für Terroristen austrocknen


Knapp 70 Prozent der Amerikaner finden, ihre Regierung solle alles unternehmen, damit Terroristen im Internet keine für sie relevanten Informationen finden: Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine Studie des Pew Internet & American Life Project, für die 2500 US-Bürger befragt wurden. Gleichzeitig ist aber die Mehrheit der Interviewten keineswegs davon überzeugt, dass das Zurückhalten von Online-Informationen überhaupt einen nennenswerten Beitrag zur Terrorbekämpfung darstellen würde.

Weeks before the terrorist attacks on 11 September, the United States and the United Nations ignored warnings from a secret Taliban emissary that Osama bin Laden was planning a huge attack on American soil.

Rain-maker


The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry claimed credit for a light drizzle that cleared the air over the Russian capital Friday, giving residents a break from the thick, acrid smog that engulfed the city. "Yes, we did it," ministry spokesman Viktor Beltsov said proudly. Mr. Beltsov said an ionizer intended to draw rain clouds was switched on Thursday atop a ministry building in western Moscow — and that it did the job. Early Friday, a light drizzle freshened up the air, bringing long-sought relief after several rainless weeks. Wildfires in the countryside surrounding the capital have created intense smog.
