That high level of interest extends to the online world; curling has been the most searched Olympic sport on Yahoo! this week, according to the company...
...crucial that the Pakistani military remain close to the clan in order to preserve Islamabad's influence in Afghanistan. That is not a result the U.S. wants. The Americans blame the young Haqqani warlord Sirajuddin for the most lethal attacks, many of them by suicide bombers, on NATO forces around Kabul. U.S. intelligence suspects that the Haqqanis are sheltering dozens of al-Qaeda fighters...
