...week, the bombings, shootouts and guerrilla attacks had left at least 44 dead. No one claimed responsibility, but the government immediately blamed "Wahhabis" - their catchall term for Islamic militants - and in particular, the clandestine Hizb ut-Tahrir (HUT), or Party of Liberation, whose avowed aim is to create a worldwide Islamic caliphate. Senior officials also linked the attacks to al-Qaeda, describing them as retribution for the country's support of the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. But to many, the haste in accusing the HUT smacked of political convenience. While the hut is virulently anti-American and anti-Jewish...
