SAUDI ARABIA Bent Out of Shape The axis of evil developed a kink in it when Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal revealed that Iran, one of U.S. President George W. Bush's three arch-enemies, had handed over 16 Saudi Arabians who were allegedly members of al-Qaeda. The 16 men had fled to Iran to escape war in Afghanistan.

...seized Mazar and set up their Jombesh. The following years raised to national art forms both the alliance of convenience and the stab in the back, and Dostum outperformed the rest. He moved in and out of alliances with Ahmed Shah Massoud, then the Jamiat commander; with Massoud's arch-enemy, the Islamist radical Gulbuddin Hekmatyar; and finally with the ultra-fundamentalist Taliban, enemy of both. Meanwhile, differences of policy and personality at the top of the Jombesh were settled bozkashi-style, as rivals succumbed, one after the other, to helicopter crashes and other dramatic rubouts...
