...Hours after his inauguration, "joy was turned into grief," as he put it, as a massive explosion ripped through the Marriott Hotel in the heart of his capital, killing 53 people and injuring over 250 in what local media dubbed "Pakistan's 9/11." The shock and anger provoked by the attack did spark a long-overdue debate on the increasingly lethal threat posed by al-Qaeda and Taliban militants sheltering in the mountainous tribal areas along the Afghan border and in the scenic Swat valley - not just to NATO forces in Afghanistan but also to Pakistan itself...

...China's central government has taken dramatic steps to mollify public anger in the latest tainted-food scandal. On Sep. 18, the government sacked the mayor of Shijiazhuang after allegations that the city government had covered up reports of the contamination.

Sanlu, the first company to be found selling melamine-tainted milk, has been at the center of the current scandal. The government has also arrested dozens of producers for selling melamine-tainted milk to dairy companies...
