Diablo Canyon power plant a prime terror target
For an installation that generates about 10 percent of California's electricity, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near here seems remarkably unobtrusive.
Tucked between the wide Pacific and hills burgeoning with vernal greenery and grazing livestock, it's smaller than one might expect.

Passenger finds 'chilling' note from bag handler
An airline passenger who had two "No War with Iraq" signs in his suitcase says the federal security agent who opened his luggage inserted a note criticizing his "anti-American attitude."

Federal Transportation Security Administration officials are investigating.

Pakistan Arrests Top Al Qaeda Member Al-Jaziri
Pakistani authorities said they had arrested a leading al Qaeda member, Moroccan national Yasir al-Jaziri, in the eastern city of Lahore on Saturday.
The arrest comes two weeks after the capture of another senior al Qaeda figure, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, in the northern city of Rawalpindi.
Mohammed is suspected of being a leading figure behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and authorities have said his arrest brought useful leads in their efforts to track down al Qaeda members including the group's leader, Osama bin Laden (news - web sites).
"He (al-Jaziri) is less important than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed but he is quite an important person," Secretary of the Interior Ministry Tasneem Noorani told Reuters.

Cyber terrorism 'overhyped'
The threat posed by cyber-terrorism has been overhyped and the net is unlikely to become a launch pad for terror attacks. That was the conclusion of a panel of security and technology experts brought together at the CeBIT technology fair to consider the threat posed by net attacks on businesses and consumers.
Panel members said companies faced far more serious threats from ordinary criminals, fraudsters and pranksters than they did from technology-literate terrorists.
Combating these real threats would take work by almost everyone involved in the running and use of the net.
