...escalation of violence will depend, of course, on the leadership, organizational ability and funding of the handful of small separatist groups in the south. But even the most basic information about these groups?the size of their memberships, how much they cooperate with one another, what links they have to international militant Islamic groups such as al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiah (JI)?remains largely a mystery. "Most of the groups have been dormant for years," says a Malaysian intelligence official in Kuala Lumpur, so they have largely fallen off the radar. But, he adds, while relatively few in numbers...
...Turkey's European dream. "You can rely on Germany's willingness to keep its word," he told Erdogan in Cologne. Erdogan can't, however, rely on French President Jacques Chirac, who acknowledged last week that Turkey had a "European vocation," but added that its entry into the E.U. would depend on "conditions that have not, today, been brought together," remarks in part aimed at soothing domestic French concerns about E.U. enlargement.

The situation only worsened the following day when—hours before the performance —the UC rep sent a more disheartening message: “All I can say is to be here at around 7—can?...
...panic is a political windfall for conservative parties who opposed enlargement. For example, Poland's radical Samoobrona (Self-Defense) party has surged in opinion polls from 17% approval in February to 29% in April. Whether accession's opponents can capitalize in the long run on price fears will depend on what happens in coming weeks. In the meantime, Eastern Europe has a few more shopping days until accession...
