1.President Bush ordered that some parts of an intelligence document on the worldwide terror threat be declassified "to stop all the speculation." The report stated that the Iraq insurgency had shaped a new generation of terrorists, but it also said that fewer jihadists "will be inspired to carry on the fight" if they fail in Iraq.
2.Pope Benedict XVI said this week that he wanted to "consolidate the strong ties of friendship with the faithful of all religions and with particular respect for the dialogue between Muslims and Christians." The pontiff hopes his recent apology and meeting with Muslim envoys will help quell Muslim anger over a recent speech in which he made comments seen as offensive to Islam.
3.The people of Thailand are waiting to find out who will be their next leader. The country's military recently seized governmental control in a bloodless coup, stripping former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra of his power. Besides an increased public presence of tanks and soldiers, however, CNN reporter Dan Rivers stated that life was getting "back to normal" for many Thai citizens.
4.Americans are now allowed to carry certain liquids aboard airplanes. The Transportation Security Administration relaxed some carry-on rules this week, legalizing travel-sized containers of medicine or toiletries aboard flights. The items must be visible through small, zip-topped bags. Passengers may also bring aboard drinks purchased inside the terminal.
5.Police in Colorado are still searching for a motive in a deadly hostage standoff at a Colorado school. Officials say a 53-year-old gunman with an arrest record took several female students hostage at Platte Canyon High School. When SWAT officers stormed the classroom where the gunman was holed up, he shot and killed one student before killing himself. The school's classes were canceled Thursday and Friday, and crisis counselors were on hand to speak with students.
6.Some Iraqi merchants are noticing a lull in Ramadan shopping. Markets that are normally bustling during the Muslim holy month are seeing fewer customers, as the fear of violence has kept many would-be shoppers indoors.
7.Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai joined President Bush for dinner at the White House. The two leaders have blamed each other for a recent upsurge in violence by the Taliban, Afghanistan's former rulers. President Bush hoped the dinner, which was described as cordial, would encourage cooperation among the leaders "to make the world a more hopeful place."
8.Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has repeatedly been kicked out of the courtroom for disrupting proceedings in his genocide trial. His most recent eviction happened on Tuesday after a shouting match with the judge. Hussein's six co-defendants also were ordered out of the courtroom. The trial has adjourned until October 9.
