...Another heinous act of terrorism has been committed in India. A great tragedy, apart from the loss of a large number of innocent lives, was the killing of the chief of the local Anti-Terrorism Squad, Hemant Karkare. He had been leading investigations into earlier bomb blasts that had uncovered evidence suggesting the complicity of Hindu extremists, including politicians and a serving Army officer. His investigation, which had given a new twist to the discourse on terrorism in India, is another casualty. T. Maryam, New Delhi...
...rising above political lines in the fight against this common evil and cooperating in the investigations, indulge in political oneupmanship with an eye on the forthcoming elections. A great tragedy, apart from the loss of a large number of innocent lives, is the killing of the chief of the Anti-Terrorism Squad, Hemant Karkare. He was heading up the investigations into earlier bomb blasts and had started to reveal some startling information on the complicity of some very high-profile and well-placed extreme elements of the majority community, including a senior serving member of the army.

Batista was a consultant to Enrique Martinez, who was Coahuila's governor from 1999 to 2005, and he greatly...
Iraq's parliamentarians, who rarely shy away from showboating, didn't disappoint either. There were rowdy scenes in the legislature as lawmakers from anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's bloc interrupted a discussion about the fate of non-U.S. troops in Iraq to demand al-Zaidi's immediate release. Noisy exchanges ensued, culminating with the mercurial speaker, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, threatening to resign. "I can't work in such a situation!" he shouted, according to lawmakers who attended the session. It's not clear if al-Mashhadani, who is known for his outbursts, will follow through...
