...warned of further attacks against the U.S., vowing that it will not go "unpunished for its crimes.") According to a source inside a Bangladeshi Islamic group with close ties to al-Qaeda, al-Zawahiri arrived in Dhaka in early March and stayed briefly in the compound of a local fundamentalist leader. It's unclear how al-Zawahiri came to be in Bangladesh, or whether he's still there. However, a source in the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (dgfi), a Bangladeshi military intelligence agency, told TIME that al-Zawahiri is believed to have left Bangladesh this summer, crossing over...
...dredging over Rehman's past, scouring it for any hints as to who might have ordered or arranged the hit. An Afghan intelligence report, filed last week and examined by TIME identifies Rehman as Abdul Razaq, a Taliban assassin believed responsible for the murders of three opponents to the fundamentalist movement in Quetta in Pakistan in the mid-1990s. A veteran of the Kunduz and Takhar fronts during the Taliban's civil war with the United Front, Rehman was captured last year by the forces of northern warlord General Rashid Dostum. He was released earlier this year, most likely after...
...generation of comix creators. Tom Hart's fat, almost crude lines perfectly match the brutal ecstasy of his superb "Sandra Brown," a story of lust and mud. In one of the several non-fiction entries, Canadian David Collier boldly finds a parallel between himself and an Islamic fundamentalist. More abstract work keeps the book from being too didactic. Tobias Schalken, half of the experimental "Eiland" duo, contributes a story whose images complement each other when holding the page up to a bright light. The overt theme of "Rosetta" may a bit vague - the word appears in several entries, particularly...
...whatever else Sept. 11 was, it was a declaration of war. The totalitarian force of radical fundamentalist Islam, like the forces of Nazism and communism that preceded it, has not disappeared. We briefly defanged it in its most important lair in Afghanistan, but even there it has not been extinguished. Saudi Arabia, the chief exporter of this murderous ideology, remains protected by the West. Saddam Hussein is currently laboring to manufacture weapons of mass destruction that his allies in the Islamist terrorist network would dearly love to use on American soil. Suicide bombers have not relented in attempting to destroy...
...still an infant, Khatol (women in her tribe prefer to use only their first name) was among those hardest hit by the Taliban's ban on women's employment. Although she is better educated than most Afghan women--as few as 5.6% are literate--Khatol's options under the fundamentalist regime became as narrow as those for many of Kabul's 30,000-plus other war widows. The Taliban's restrictions on its female population were infamously harsh: girls could not attend school; and women, except for some doctors and nurses, were prohibited from working. The mullahs further isolated women...
