...Indian Mujahideen has claimed credit for two previous attacks: blasts in the tourist hub of Jaipur in May, which killed 63 people; and bombings in the northern cities of Varanasi, Faizabad and Lucknow last November, which killed 16. Their attacks follow a similar pattern: numerous crude bombs timed to go off in sequence in bus stations, temples and markets. The latest attacks used explosives delivered in the most mundane possible ways - on bicycles left casually near a fruit stand, or in a stainless-steel tiffin carrier, the ubiquitous lunchbox of Indian commuters, left under the seat...

Their wonder years were blithe and prosperous; they invented sex, discovered candor and stopped an immoral war; they were rewarded with Haagen-Dazs and Saturday Night Live. Three decades ago, the Beatles' crude, cheerfully anarchic exuberance came as a revelation to the adolescents of the day, who proceeded to make an ideology and then a mass-market sensibility out of a certain high brattishness. Adolescent baby boomers were by turns passionate and sullen, angry at the world in general and grownups in particular...
...This summer he's had to deploy national guard troops on public buses in the capital to keep them from being hijacked.) Many Venezuelans have responded by entrusting themselves to a group of dead "saints" who had lived delinquent lives. Ismaelito and other santos malandros such as Petroleo Crudo (Crude Oil), El Raton (The Mouse), La Malandra Isabelita, Machera and countless others were petty criminals in the 1960s and '70s.
