Bush signs orders to boost CIA power and create center
President Bush signs four executive orders to strengthen CIA director authority and launch a national counterterrorism center amid election-year pressure after the 9/14 commission call.

In Moscow, officials say jetliner crashes were acts of terrorism with 90 dead, as a group claims responsibility for the Chechnya war context. Two Chechen-named passengers linked to last-minute bookings are under scrutiny.
