SARS patients in Toronto quarantined
This will be a solitary Easter for hundreds of Catholic faithful in Toronto - no going to church.
Authorities have ordered an entire Catholic worship group - 500 people - to stay in their homes because they may have been infected with the SARS virus. The quarantine order affects 100 other people who may have worked with some of the church group members.
The disease may have touched the group through a man who was hospitalized in mid-March at one of the two Toronto hospitals that handled SARS cases. He died, but not before family members belonging to the group were exposed.
At the man's wake in early April, no one knew he was a SARS victim and some relatives had symptoms of the illness.
In Toronto, 13 people have died of SARS and officials report 250 probable cases.
Terrorist camp found near Baghdad
U.S. forces say they have found a terrorist training camp on the outskirts of Baghdad and that it was abandoned only recently.
A Marines spokesman said recruits at the camp were apparently taught how to make bombs and were schooled in what to do if they were captured. He said the camp had about 20 buildings on 25 acres south of the Iraqi capital.
The spokesman said it was operated by the Iraqi government and the Palestine Liberation Front. Documents found there include filled-out questionnaires that asked "What type of missions would you like to carry out?"
Many of the recruits answered, "suicide missions."
