...come to an increasingly prosperous South Korea, after all - and now will backtrack, delay and obfuscate until he finds an excuse to get out of the current nuclear deal. All the while, the skeptics believe, he will probably continue a separate secret program to enrich uranium to make the bomb. At minimum, the skeptics say, Kim will buy enough time to see who succeeds Bush, whom he doesn't trust (no matter what the Chinese President says...
...bomb tore through a police academy bus in central Kabul this morning, in another disturbing reflection in Afghanistan of the early insurgent activities that eventually threw Iraq into bloody instability. The attack appears to have expressly targeted Afghanistan's fledgling police force, killing 35 police instructors, police officers and civilians and wounding more than 50, including two Japanese civilians and one Korean.

Investigators say the bomber was pretending to be a beggar, and tried to get on the bus to collect alms from the passengers, a common practice on public transport.

Lebanese officials say that the recently formed Fatah al-Islam was sent into Lebanon by Syrian military intelligence to cause instability...
...Insurgent groups have had four years' practice in making and camouflaging IEDs. The bombs are especially hard to detect in crowded urban areas full of potholes, drains and sewers. The abundance of garbage on Baghdad's streets can defeat devices meant to locate bombs in relatively uncluttered locales. A discarded refrigerator on the curb could be packed with explosives. Every parked car is potentially a vehicle-borne IED (military jargon for a car bomb). Built-up areas also offer hiding places for those who plant the explosives and set them off. Abdallah says he has been asked to make trigger...
