For the fourth straight day, the U-S bombed targets in Afghanistan.
Senior defense officials say war planners are moving toward a new set of weaponry, including laser guided bombs to penetrate underground Taliban bunkers. Helicopter-borne special forces could be the next deployed.
Back at home, NATO allies say they'll send surveillance planes to patrol U-S shores, freeing up American planes for the air campaign in Afghanistan.
The nation's water system operators are asking Congress for five billion dollars to protect drinking water plants from terrorism.
And computer experts warned another terrorist attack combined with a cyber-warfare would have terrifying results.
President Bush unveiled his terrorism "most-wanted" list. It includes Osama bin Laden, his top two deputies, and several members of his Al Queda network. The White House is working with the TV show "America's Most Wanted" to broadcast the list in a special episode of the program.
It's possible we won't be seeing any more unedited recordings from the Al Queda. The White House has asked American broadcasters to refrain from running the pre-recorded statements in their entirety because they may be sending hidden messages to terrorists abroad.

Return to index of stories...
Immediately following the September 11th attacks, fighter jets were called to the skies to protect cities all over the country- and New Hampshire's Air Natonal Guard has been refueling them. Major General John Blair says right after the terrorist attacks, jets were patroling near many cities. Now, he says, they are flying over just a couple. Guard refueling tankers also have been gassing up military planes going overseas, including those en route to support bombing missions in Afghanistan.
script iconIntro Globalization
Return to index of stories...
In the wake of last month's terrorist attacks, people are trying to figure why - in some parts of the world - there is such hatred directed towards Americans. Recently Doctor Roger Burbach from the Center for Alternatives to Globalization spoke at the University of New Hampshire.He joined us on Outlook with his perspective on corporate globalization and how he sees that contributing to the growing anti-american sentiment.

00:11:43 On that night, that was a very dark night. All of my possessions were on the street and I was in jail. Hasan bin Laden - half brother of Osama bin Laden found out about this- came to jail and said I've had your stuff picked up, its in a villa that I've have, it's empty right now and were gonna help you get out of here right now, you're gonna come and you're gonna keep on taking care of us but you'll be in a new location, hows that.

The bin Laden family knew of Dr. Bennett because he had treated members of the family along with other Saudi families. He doesn't know if he treated Osama bin Laden, but he does know what life might have been like for Osama or any of the bin Laden children as they grew up.

Terry Bennett came to know that generosity first hand. He collects cars. To show appreciation for his services, the bin Laden's gave him several. And now in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, this Rochester physician feels he owes it to the bin Laden's to defend the family name.

16:04this is not a family of terrorists. This is a family of fathers and moms , and there's a terrorist relation. I mean there's a black sheep in every family. And I've confronted everyone that's interviewed me, don't you have a blacksheep in your family? We all do. We all do.

They can't undo it , I certainly can't undo it what I can undo is the certain perception that they are supporting a terrorist- they are not. They disowned him eight years ago- the Saudi gvernment disowned him- he's a homeless person at this point in time for a pretty good reason

Terry Bennett has become a familiar name and face to many who listen to the radio or watch television. He's given numerous interviews.--

18:58It's a simple story. Nice family, good to me, deserving of something other than our disrespect. And they have a bad brother, I'm sorry.
