# Israel awaits pope's visit. JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel is building a tent
city for 6,000 people and smoothing the cobblestones of Jerusalem's walled
Old City streets in preparation for the pope's visit here next month. But
JP2 will have to temporarily forsake his popemobile because it is too wide
for the winding alleys of Jerusalem's walled Old City. Instead, the pope
will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, built over Jesus' tomb, in an
Israeli armored vehicle. The pope's visit to the Holy Land, the first by a
pontiff since 1964, is expected to bring thousands of pilgrims to Israel
and the Palestinian areas, and Israel wants to be ready. See

# Banks warned of hacker attacks. WASHINGTON (AP) - At least eight times,
starting days before unusually forceful attacks against major commercial
Web sites, computer experts at leading US financial institutions received
detailed warnings of impending threats.Bankers never passed their detailed
warnings to FBI or other cops, even as alerts escalated last week from the
first assault against the Yahoo! Web site on to eBay, Amazon, Buy.Com, CNN
& others. The urgent alerts, by e-mail & pager, began fully 4 days before
Yahoo! fell under electronic assault Feb. 8. They cautioned that dangerous
attack software had been found implanted on powerful computers nationwide.
The messages identified specific Internet addresses of attacking machines.
Participating banks weren't allowed to share the warnings with government
investigators under rules of an unusual $1.5 million private security
network created in recent months for the financial industry. See

==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
