| The Latest Day 8 Return to index of stories... |
Attorney General John Ashcroft says it's not over yet. More attacks on America may have been planned and he adds more associates of the terrorists may still be in the U.S. Here's the latest on what we know in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks. An anti-terrorism task force is being created. Its goal - to wage "a concerted national assault" against terrorists. Pakistani diplomats have returned home after telling Afghanistan's Taliban rulers that Afghanistan faces certain attack by a U-S-led force if Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in the attacks, is not expelled. The number of confirmed dead in all the strikes stands tonight at 423. At just over 5,000 remain missing or unidentified. And the nation's charities report they've received about 200-million dollars in donations for relief agencies. Much of that has been collected over the internet. |

Attorney General John Ashcroft says there's no evidence to link a new computer worm with last week's terrorist attacks. The worm, called "Nimda" -- has been infecting computers around the world The email servers here at New Hampshire Public Television were among those affected. We, like tens of thousands of other users around the Globe had no access to email for hours. Once the worm hit, IT professionals had to scan and clean infected files before putting the servers back on line. We'll have more on the worm a little later in the program. |

CG:BUMP2\Hart/Rudman 21st Century Commission Report February 2, 2001 \"The combination of unconventional weapons proliferation with the persistence of international terrorism will end the relative invulnerability of the US homeland to catastrophic attack. A direct attack against American citizens on American soil is likely over the next quarter century. The risk is not only death and destruction but also a demoralization that could undermine US global leadership. In the face of this threat, our nation has no coherent or integrated governmental structures."

The man behind one of New Hampshire's most famous landmarks, the Old Man of the Mountain, has died. Niels Nielsen, caretaker emeritus of the rock formation, died at the Belknap County Nursing Home after a long illness. He was 74. Nielsen, who had worked for the state highway department, began the annual maintenance and repairs to the Old Man in 1960. He said he was the one who gave The Old Man of the Mountain his annual, 'shave and a haircut'. In recent years he passed the task on to members of his family. Several years ago we had a chance to hear Neilson reflect on his time with the one of the symbols of our state. |

| Flag Etiquette Return to index of stories... |
AP-NH--Attacks-Flag Etiquette smfman Flag flying tips -- With many showing their colors this week, some are offering tips for proper flag flying etiquette. The federal flag code allows flags to be hung horizontally or vertically on walls. But in either case, the blue area with stars, called the union, should be to the viewer's upper left. When a flag is suspended out from a house or business on a pole or a rope, the union should be away from the building. And flags should not be draped over a vehicle. If you want to put a flag on your car or truck, put it on a staff attached to the chassis or clamped to the right fender. |

| Rosh Hashana Return to index of stories... |
-Israel-New Year Jewish New Year festivities in Israel are dampened by security fears -- Sunset marks the start of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana. Israel ushered in the holiday with armed guards stationed at synagogues. The holiday is serving as a reminder of peace hopes lost in a year of fighting with the Palestinians. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat sent New Year's greetings to Israel, along with reassurances that he has ordered his forces to cease fire. But fighting continued, with one Palestinian killed and 15 wounded in gun battles in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The fighting has been going on just short of a year. The strife has taken 635 lives on the Palestinian side and 175 on the Israeli side since the last Jewish New Year. Israel-New Year Israel marks Jewish New Year with hopes for truce -- Israel is marking the Jewish New Year with a look back on a year of fighting with the Palestinians -- and new hopes for a truce. Many Israelis took advantage of the two-day holiday that ends at sundown tomorrow to relax with family at home. For the majority of Israelis who don't observe religious laws that forbid listening to the radio or watching television on holy days, today's word of an emerging truce was welcome. One man says he's optimistic because "there's nothing else to do but think positively." Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat announced today that he ordered his forces to prevent attacks on Israelis. Israel responded by pulling back tanks, and promising to end military strikes. Fighting began just before the last New Year. More than 800 people have been killed since, most of them Palestinians. |

AP-NH--Attacks-Nashua Airport smfnas Nashua airfield hit by layoffs -- Businesses at a Nashua airport are being hit hard by last week's terrorist attacks. Although commercial flights have resumed, federal authorities are still not allowing planes using visual flight rules to take off. As many as 90 percent of the planes at Nashua's Boire Field use visual flight rules. Companies that sell fuel and perform maintenance are suffering from a lack of business and a flight school at the field has already laid off workers. Officials at the field say the F-A-A has given no indication of when it will lift the ban. An air show is still scheduled to take place at the field this weekend. AP |
