NASA gathers evidence works to solve mystery
SPACE CENTER, Houston — The head of the Columbia investigation expressed confidence yesterday the panel would solve the mystery, and said it would stitch together photos, video, radar and other data into a
"stereoscopic mosaic" of the shuttle's final minutes.
"The professional team I have here has solved accidents with less evidence," retired Navy Adm. Harold Gehman Jr. said. "There's a lot of data and more data coming. We haven't even started debris analysis vet."
The evidence released so far suggests Columbia's troubles began in the left wing.

Bin Laden advises Iraqis to attack United States
DOHA, Qatar—A voice believed to be Osama bin Laden's urged Iraqis to carry out suicide attacks against Americans and draw U.S. troops into combat in Iraqi cities. U.S. officials said the call broadcast yesterday proved the world must fear Saddam Hussein's ties to the Al Qaeda terror network.
The appeal was made in a voice tape aired by the Al-Jazeera satellite television station throughout the Arab world.
"This nexus between terrorists and states that are developing weapons of mass destruction can no longer be looked away from and ignored," Secretary of State Colin Powell told the Senate Budget Committee.
On the tape, the speaker advised Iraqis how to fight the Americans, based on Al Qaeda's experience in Afghanistan.
The speaker urged Iraqis to draw Americans into urban combat.

1930: In Tuskegee, Ala., the Rosenwald Fund provided grants to the Alabama State Board of Health to help meet the cost of a study of syphilis in African-American men living in rural Georgia and Alabama. The Rosenwald Fund's grant was the start of a four-decade long study of the effects of syphilis without treatment. More than 400 men were allowed to carry the disease without medical treatment for nearly 40 years. Several government agencies including the Federal Public Health Service and the Center for Disease Control participated in the study. It was kept a secret until 1972.
