...Chaman, pro-Taliban graffiti are common and copies of recordings made by Mullah Omar are available in the marketplace. Standing in the middle of a bustling street in Quetta, Aghar Jan, who fled Afghanistan in 2001, loudly proclaims his willingness to take up Omar's call to jihad and expel the "infidels" now in charge. "I'm waiting for the order of the emir," he says, referring to Omar. "When the order comes," he says, "I'm ready to carry out a suicide attack...
Then we experienced the pressure of totalitarianism. Conservative leaders in the party issued orders to expel me and two other student leaders. Fortunately, then-party leader Hu Yao Bang was an open-minded person and stopped the expulsion order. The 1989 Tiananmen Square movement was in some ways a continuation and an advancement of this first student movement, and it was not a coincidence that the June 4th movement began when students at Beijing University organized a large scale memorial service for the death of Hu Yao Bang. He had lost his leadership post for his perceived leniency toward students...

And whereas it has sent its troops on raids in many of those cities in the course of the current intifada, it has studiously avoided long-term deployments or resuming responsibility for civil administration. Even hawkish Israelis who have no intention of surrendering the hundreds of settlements Israel...
Ganczarski left Germany last November and surfaced in late April in Saudi Arabia, where authorities decided to expel him. But U.S. officials, French sources say, persuaded the Saudis to send him home via Paris--where police could detain him. "The Germans couldn't or wouldn't charge Ganczarski," says a French antiterrorist official. "The Americans wanted him out of commission and his terrorist links fully explored." German officials knew that the suicide bomber responsible for the April 11, 2002, explosion at a synagogue in Djerba, Tunisia--which killed 21 people--called Ganczarski shortly before launching his attack. They also knew...
