The Zawar region along the border with Pakistan, where al Qaeda and Taliban holdouts are believed to have taken refuge in a complex of mountain caves, has been under air assault for nearly two weeks. The attacks are the heaviest since the campaign against the Tora Bora cave complex ended last month. The tempo of the bombing in Zawar picked up with daylight raids Sunday and continued Mondie-har- day. The bombing was so intense hat it rattled windows in Khost, a town about 20 miles away. Civilians living near the bombing zone were fleeing and said many people had been killed and wounded by bombs. At the Pentagon, spokesman Rear Adm.

Colombia Colombia's government and main leftist rebel group agreed Monday to resume peace talks, diplomats and a U.N. envoy said, overcoming an impasse that threatened to plunge the country into a new round of fighting. France's Ambassador to Colombia, Daniel Parfait, read a statement saying the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, had dropped its objections to returning to peace talks that were paralyzed since October. He said President Andres Pastrana had signed off on the agreement, reached with the help of a U.N. envoy, Catholic Church delegates and ambassadors from 10 countries. The government had earlier set a deadline of 9:30 p.m. for rebels to agree to resume the peace process or troops would move to retake their safe haven in southern Colombia. threat It was not the first time Americans have faced threats in Yemen, where a terrorist attack on a US. warship killed 17 sailors in 2000, but the security measures came as the United States presses Yemen's government to crack down on any militants with al Qaeda links in the country. A Yemeni security official told The Associated Press that the US. Embassy recently received a threat but would not comment further. An embassy official declined to comment on a specific threat, but pointed to a security communique warning Americans that the embassy "believes there is an increased terrorist threat to U.S. interests in Yemen, including the US.

The. medical experts say his good physical condition may have contributed to the incident Bush's physician, Dr. Richard Tubb, said the president began coughing while eating a pretzel on Sunday, stimulating a nerve that slowed his heart rate and caused him to lose consciousness briefly.
