Fifth Man Arrested in California Terror Probe Thursday, June 09, 2005 SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Five men, including two father-and-son pairs, have now been arrested as federal law enforcement officers try to determine whether they have uncovered a network of Al Qaeda (search) supporters in Northern California. Father and son Umer and Hamid Hayat were arrested over the weekend in Lodi, Calif., on criminal charges. Three Pakistani citizens are also being held on immigration violations. Lodi is an agricultural community 40 miles south of Sacramento. Two law enforcement sources have confirmed to FOX News that there is a connection between the Hayats and the Pakistani citizens. Hamid allegedly received terrorist training and funding from the father, an ice cream truck driver, so he could carry out attacks on hospitals and large food stores in the United States. But FBI officials on Wednesday backed away from specific information regarding any type of planned attacks. Hamid, 22, and his father, 47, are charged with lying to authorities about the son's alleged training at an Al Qaeda camp in 2003 and 2004 and money sent for training. Both are American citizens; the younger man was born in California.

Papa's got the baby blues: French men yearn for pregnancy AFP via Yahoo ^ \| 6/10/05 news.yahoo.com PARIS (AFP) - Maybe it's that mix of hot Latin blood and cool Cartesian intellect, or perhaps is just a collective guilty conscience. Whatever the cause, nearly 40 percent of French men told a recent survey that they would, science permitting, like to become pregnant. The poll, conducted by Ipsos and published in the current issue of Children Magazine (Enfants Magazine), showed that 38 percent of the more than 500 fathers of children up to seven interviewed by phone said they would like, or would have liked, to be the one to carry their offspring to term. A slightly higher percentage of women respondents liked the idea of their spouses taking on the nine-month job. The magazine did not compare the overlap -- whether women whose mates expressed deep maternal yearnings would welcome the prospect. The survey carried other signs that parenting is not what it used to be in the country that spawned one of the alltime feminist classics, Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex". Eighty-six percent of the fathers queried said they were ready "to take a paternity leave of several months to live their fatherhood more intensely," provided it caused "minimal financial impact." And 71 percent said they were prepared to "take a year-long sabbatical" or "request to work part time."
