...Karzai underscored his disdain for U.S. preferences this week when he named as one of his running mates General Mohammed Fahim, a notorious warlord of the Northern Alliance. Washington had hoped to break the warlords' grip on power in Afghanistan; Karzai is for cementing the status quo. By way of consolation, the talk in Washington now is of bypassing Karzai as often as possible, working through approved members of his government in the capital and in the regions. But it's a potentially messy fix. Just as in Vietnam, the U.S. in Afghanistan finds itself fighting an implacable guerrilla...
...With the question of Qasab's age set aside, the prosecutor launched a full frontal attack on Pakistan - the unnamed but ever-present fourth defendant on trial in Mumbai. (Qasab's co-defendants are Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Sheikh, both Indians, who were arrested before the Mumbai attacks but are suspected of helping with some preliminary planning.) As he outlined the details of the case, Nikam focused his argument on the second charge of "waging war against the government of India." The attacks, he said, had "the definite target of capturing Kashmir." (Lashkar e Taiba, a jihadi group that...
...Qasab, barely five feet tall but with powerful shoulders under his loose, long sleeved t-shirt, appeared in court this morning with two other co-accused, Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin, inside the Arthur Road jail complex. Qasab, a Pakistani national, was the only surviving suspect from the Nov. 26 attacks on Mumbai that killed about 170 people; Ansari and Sabahuddin, who are Indian, were arrested separately and are accused of helping to plan the attacks. All three of them were barefoot and wore the same clothes as they did yesterday, sitting together on a bench in one corner...
...headscarf, Yasmin Ansari addressed the court twice this morning on behalf of her husband, speaking firmly but slightly nervously in Urdu from behind the veil covering her face. "I am trying," she said, when questioned by the judge about her efforts to find a new lawyer for her husband. Fahim Ansari has previously expressed his wish to find his own lawyer, but complained that the court had not given him and his wife enough time or opportunity to find one. Addressing the two of them, Tahiliani said, "The court has made all these security arrangements, we've given...
...investment in City may have only just begun. Sulaiman al-Fahim, a residential- and commercial-property tycoon who led the takeover for ADUG, pledged to turn English soccer's ninth best team of last season into world dominators. "To reach that goal, there is no limit," the billionaire said. "We really have deep pockets." As if to underscore the point, al-Fahim said today that City would make an astounding $243 million bid to sign United's MVP, Cristiano Ronaldo, in January, as part of his plan to bring in the world's best players...
