...Despite the image he is trying to project of a lone individual squaring off against a heartless judicial machine, Karadzic is far from defenseless. He has assembled a formidable team of some 30 legal advisers, headed by Patrick Robinson, an American lawyer who once worked for the ICTY. For the past several months, the team has showered the tribunal with more than 400 motions and appeals, causing substantial delays to the process...

Interviews with Harris’ brother, in particular, reveal how he went from television addict to internet geek to friendless, heartless mad scientist.

Most of the 1.8 million people in Thailand's three southernmost provinces are Malay-speaking Muslims, but they make up only 2% of a largely Thai-speaking Buddhist country. For a century, attempts at assimilation have been met with resentment and rebellion. The current hostilities erupted under former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whose hard-line response to what he dismissed as banditry turned sporadic militant attacks into a full-blown insurgency...
