Islamic World Warns of Backlash, U.S. Forces Deploy-- Washington is trying to build a global coalition that would not only back retaliation for the worst single attack on U.S. soil but root out extremist networks, led by bin Laden's shadowy al Qaeda organization, by cutting off their financial lifelines.

Although several countries -- Iraq, Syria, North Korea, Cuba and Libya among them -- were said to be harboring thousands of members of these shadowy networks, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Washington was broadening its investigations into their financial sources.
