...alienate many of Swat's residents, but by then it was too late - his militia had already established a foothold. Khan, the businessman from Matta, was sent threatening letters after he denounced Fazlullah's men for killing his cousin. "They have spies everywhere," he says. For too long, the central government ignored the problems festering in Swat, concerned that a crackdown on demands for Shari'a would alienate the country's Islam-based political parties.

Beekeeping in Paris is, well, a hive of activity, with colonies living on private balconies, at an inner-city nunnery and, famously, atop both the Opéra Bastille and the Palais Garnier, the latter still tended by Jean Paucton, 73. Paucton's bees forage in the Tuileries Gardens, the chestnut trees of the Champs-Élysées and the linden trees...
...reduced cross-border infiltration by militants onto the Indian side of the Line of Control that divides Kashmir, and has also led to sizable gains in cross-border trade. For the first time, the two sides have appeared capable of resolving the dispute over Kashmir that has been central to their conflict since both emerged as independent states...
