By Amy Fagan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
June 7, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A top federal health official told Congress yesterday that federal weaknesses were exposed by the recent incident of a globe-trotting American infected with tuberculosis and called for quarantine law changes and better federal plans for notification and transporting the sick.

“Everyone was giving the patient the benefit of the doubt,” Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told senators who asked why government officials failed to get a step ahead of Andrew Speaker, 31.

“We failed to take the aggressive actions we could have,” she said.”

“Italy police hold 10 ‘Islamists’”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Italian police have arrested at least 10 suspected Islamist militants who are believed to be linked to the bombings that rocked Algiers in April.
The suspects, held in Milan, allegedly provided logistical and financial support for the militants in Algeria.

Two blasts killed at least 30 people and injured 160 in Algiers.

A group called the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat said it carried out the attacks. It later changed its name to al-Qaeda in the Maghreb.

Police said the suspects were also believed to be linked to Islamist activities in Tunisia in January.

The Milan suspects are reported to be Tunisians.”
