...small, anxious-looking man who stood before a judge last week in London's Central Criminal Court hardly resembled the feral terrorist British police are linking him to. But Saajid Badat, 24, faces charges of having conspired with fellow Briton and convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid, who tried to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001. And Badat is just one of 21 people detained by British police in the past three weeks under antiterrorism laws (some suspects have since been released...
...year stint in religious schools in Pakistan. Reid was identified by detained veterans of al-Qaeda's Afghan training centers as having attended the Khalden camp, which catered to European-national jihadists and taught kamikaze tactics. Both Zacarias Moussaoui, the accused 9/11 20th hijacker, and the so-called millennium bomber Ahmed Ressam were Khalden graduates. Intelligence information obtained by Jacquard indicates that Khalden veterans arrested by Western countries have identified Badat as a fellow camp alumnus. "There are clear indications Badat and others he's involved with are up to something very sinister," Jacquard says...
...people who have allegedly passed through the school: suspected members of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the Southeast Asian network of Muslim militants blamed for numerous bombings region-wide, including the October 2002 attack in Bali that claimed 202 lives.

...strategic, near bankrupt and chaotic. One problem: the U.S. insists that it is committed to the country's independence and territorial integrity. CHECHNYA: A promise to crush the rebellion in the breakaway republic brought Putin to power in 2000. But guerrillas are still defying him: last week a suicide bomber brought mayhem to a street less than 100 m from the Kremlin. The most likely scenario is stasis: Chechnya will continue to bleed and bombs will explode throughout Russia. One thing is certain: however bad it gets, Putin will get no flak from the tame Duma...
...classic example was Ari Fleischer’s April 2002 nonsensical term “homicide bombers” to describe Hamas suicide attacks. Fleischer was exhibiting that classic Bush-administration courage by scoring rhetorical points against terrorists, but the actual term is meaningless and even counterproductive. What bomber is not homicidal? The term “suicide bomber” exists to distinguish between terrorists who kill themselves and those who don’t. The distinction is important in dealing with terror, since the former are more powerful and more motivated, but it didn’t matter...
