Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Latest on war Return to index of stories... |
Tuesday marked the third straight day of air strikes in Afghanistan. President Bush is calling them a success and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - General Richard Myers - says coalition forces have essentially achieved air supremacy over Afghanistan. In Washington, the President is restricting the number of people on capitol hill who get secret briefings to prevent information leaks. The F-B-I has taken the lead in the investigation of anthrax contamination in Florida and they suspect foul play. A defiant warning of more attacks from Osama bin Laden's militant Al-Qaida group. A spokesman appeared on the Arab television station Al-Jazeera Tuesday. In a pre-recorded message, he praised the September 11th attacks and said the hijackers did something good and took the battle to the heart of America. He said there are thousands of young people who are keen on death as much as Americans are keen on life. He called the struggle a decisive battle between atheism and faith. Al-Jazeera did not say when the tape was made. |
| Intro to Prof Chong Return to index of stories... |
Where did the concept of islamic fundamentalism come from? Should we even consider Osama bin Laden an islamic fundamentalist ? Or perhaps his interpretation of Islam is outside the realm of any definition. To try and find some answers, we spoke to Professor Peng-Khuan Chong who teaches a course on Ancient Islam.. He spoke with us from Plymouth State via videophone late last week and told us he was teaching the day the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked. |
| islamic tag Return to index of stories... |
The message from the White House and Allied forces has been consistent since the strikes on Afghanistan began: America is at war with terrorists, not the religion of Islam or the Afghanistan people. |
| Homeland Security Return to index of stories... |
The agency that trains New Hampshire police officers is looking to prepare them to face terrorist threats. The police Standards and Training Council plans to hire a coordinator to teach anti-terrorism classes. It also is working to make sure local officers get protective equipment, such as masks and body suits. The Council Director says less than twenty-five percent of all New Hampshire police officers have the basic gear needed for protection in a chemical or biological incident. |

| Memorial Return to index of stories... |
Wednesday there will be a memorial service in Nashua to remember victims of last month's terrorist attacks. The service will also honor the military, police officers and firefighters. Members of the 12 area families who lost loved ones in the attack have been invited to attend. |
| Business Outlook Return to index of stories... |
Investors took profits from technology stocks and that helped send the market lower. The Supreme Court decision not to hear the Microsoft antitrust appeal didn't help the mood on Wall Street either. Analysts say trading has been cautious this week - because investors know any benefits to the economy from lower interest rates and possible tax cuts will take a while to kick in. |
| Wall Street Stocks Return to index of stories... |
The dow jones indutrials slipped 15 and a half points. The Nasdaq lost almost 36 and the S and P 500 was off over 5 and a half points. |

| US Airways Return to index of stories... |
US Airways is cutting its flights between Baltimore and Manchester. The airline is trying to stay afloat following the terrorist attacks. 60 percent of its jet service from Baltimore-Washington International Airport will be cut. Eleven thousand employees are expected to be laid off. Specifics won't be announced for several days. |
| Cancer Center Return to index of stories... |
Good news for cancer patients hoping to recieve treatment at Concord Hospital. The state approved a plan that would create a radiation facility there. The proposal was initially rejected during the summer, but - upon hearing an appeal - the state gave the green light to the hospital. Bad news, though, for officials at Exeter Hospital. The state denied their request for a similar treatment center. That plan had been opposed by Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover. Officials there said such a facility could reduce their treatments by 40 percent. |

The long lines of traffic leaving New Hampshire Monday afternoon were testimony to a successful Columbus Day weekend. The state says a record of nearly 346 thousand vehicles passed through New Hampshire toll booths. That's up nearly 22 thousand from the previous record, set in 1999. Many hotels and inns were full of leaf peepers, even after many people from other areas of the country and abroad canceled reservations after the September 11th attacks. Those travellers were quickly replaced with people who live within driving distance. |
