...militant fronts warring with Pakistan, like the Baluch Liberation Army, descend from a tradition of Marxist-Leninist guerrillas that took root in the 1970s. Jundullah, though an avowedly Sunni group, articulates its identity as a rejection of the Shia clerics ruling Iran - a political act - rather than one born out any particular fervor...

So an air of menace could help Philipp Rösler, Germany's new Health Minister, in his quest to shake up the country's expensive public health-care system. At 36, the Vietnamese-born politician is the youngest member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's new center-right coalition government and the first Asian ever to be appointed a German cabinet minister. Softly spoken and affable, he certainly doesn't seem like a political bruiser. But rumor has it that no one dared challenge him when...
