...years, Indian security and investigation agencies have had a trite, almost comically knee-jerk explanation for terror attacks - they have been blamed on Islamist fundamentalists aided by "foreign elements," meaning mostly Pakistan and China. Even where the majority of victims have been Muslims - such as the May 2007 blast at Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad, the attack on an Indo-Pak train in February 2007 and the April 2006 twin blasts at New Delhi's Jama Masjid - the first murmurs of suspicion have named Islamist groups.

A tactical nuclear warhead could also be an option, though Medvedev pointedly refrained from mentioning that...

Blast, it shouldn't be this cold in October. And seagulls keep pecking at the crate-loads of hoki stacked on the deck of his boat. He's also been let down by a helper who's scampered before the day's work is done. Which gets him started on how, as he sees it, the government favors certain types of people. "Basically, people...
