    Terrorist assaults loomed large in 2002 with deadly attacks in Bali, Moscow and the Middle East. The U.S. hunted al Qaeda in Afghan caves, prepared to face off Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and fended off snipers around its capital -- all as the dust continued to settle from the catastrophic events of September 11, which marked a one-year anniversary.
