HOW TRIPOLI WAS TAKEN
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lightning Advance That Ended Gadhafi's Rule 
In the end, the fall of Moammar Gadhafi's regime came quickly, after the
rebels mounted a lightning advance into Tripoli to finally topple the
hated dictator who ruled Libya for 42 years. SPIEGEL followed the ragtag
convoy of desperate, committed fighters into the capital.

THE WORLD FROM BERLIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------

German Foreign Minister 'Has Lost All Authority'
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle is under fire for his insistence that
German sanctions played a role in the fall of Libyan strongman Moammar
Gadhafi. Despite a weekend about-face, many are calling for his
resignation. And German commentators don't mince words on Monday.

9/11 Conspirator Reported to Be Living in Pakistan
Ten years after 9/11, the Moroccan-German Said Bahaji is one of the last
remaining members of al-Qaida's Hamburg cell who is still at large. Now,
German jihadists have told investigators that Bahaji is living in
Pakistan's Waziristan region, where he works for al-Qaida's propaganda
wing.

Ancient Mining Site in Romania May Fall Victim to Mining
The area around the Transylvanian village of Rosia Montana in Romania
has been mined for some 2,000 years. But it still contains the largest

site may soon succumb to open-pit gold mines.

Celebrity Runaway Cow Gains Her Freedom
German authorities have revoked their permission to shoot Yvonne, the

pursuers say they will leave her in peace, for the time being, to roam
the forest she now calls home. Such a happy ending is rare for Germany's
animal celebrities.
