The Aftermath at a Glance

BUSINESS IMPACT

New casualty: Many economists say that the New Economy, already in tatters, is dying and that in its place will emerge a shadow war economy.

Key question: Amid what is already the longest bear decline since 1973-74, the question of when and how the stock market can rebound has deepened.

GLOBAL IMPACT

Fearsome profile: Ja’far Umar Thalib is the kind of extremist Muslim that Americans fear most. The Indonesian backs terrorism against “strategic facilities” such as the World Trade Center.

On the move: At the Pakistani border, Afghans described their country as not panicking but getting ready for a U.S. attack.

THE INQUIRIES

No surprises: The U.S. air security system worked the way it was designed to on Sept 11, a fact that reveals weaknesses and oversights at airlines and airports used by teams of hijackers.

Plot uncovered: European authorities said that two men were arrested in a raid in Brussels and that terrorists planned to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Paris.

THE TOLL

World Trade Center: 261 dead, including those on the hijacked planes, and 6,333 missing.

Pentagon: 189 dead, including those on the hijacked plane.

In Pennsylvania: 44 dead on the hijacked plane.
