A1 A prominent German archaeologist and aid worker was kidnapped by insurgents who threatened to kill her unless Germany withdrew its support for the Iraqi government. The abduction was the latest in a new wave of kidnappings.

A1 ARTS E1-12 Deadheads Bummed Out The Grateful Dead, the business, is testing the loyalty of longtime fans of the Grateful Dead, the jam band, by cracking down on an independently run Web site that made thousands of recordings of its live concerts available for free downloading.

A1 Hurricane Season Tapers Off One of the most extraordinary hurricane seasons on record will end soon, but forecasters are warning that the period of intense storms could continue for years to come. The Atlantic Ocean is in a cycle of frenetic hurricane activity that started a decade ago.

Date: 30 November 2005
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said yesterday that the Federal Reserve should keep raising interest rates but urged central banks in Europe and Japan to keep rates low to foster economic growth.

The absence of an inflation threat means the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan should leave rates unchanged, it said.
