New York - A man who bit off part of a court officer's ear during a probation hearing was sentenced Monday to 25 years in prison for the attack. Gaeton Remy, 31, was convicted July 24 of multiple assault charges for the courtroom attack that prosecutors said left Patrick Glynn permanently disfigured. Islamabad, Pakistan - Nearly two years after the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, Pakistani troops have begun moving - gingerly - into a remote tribal belt where Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida fugitives might be hiding.

"It has been a long time since we have heard anything" about his whereabouts, said Brig. Javed Iqbal Cheema, who as head of the Interior Ministry's crisis unit is in charge of co-operating with the United States in the war on terrorism. "We have received no electronic intercepts or anything to indicate where he is." London - With doubts still deep, there was no rush from Washington's allies Monday to answer President George W.
