United Nations: report warns of potent, new 'generation' of Al-Qaeda terrorists

By comparison, the record in the U.S. is less impressive: one high-profile conviction -- shoe bomber Richard Reid -- and a scattering of arrests involving mostly lower-level suspects. And the trial in the U.S. of Zacarias Moussaoui -- an alleged co-conspirator in the 11 September 2001 attacks -- appears to be on hold.
