...Ansar is the homegrown Iraqi terror group and Zarqawi allegedly ran its operations in northern Iraq before the American forces battered its operatives during the war - though many Ansar terrorists escaped U.S. forces and later dispersed in Iraq. Intelligence sources believe that since then, Zarqawi has re-emerged in Iraq to lead forces allied to al-Qaeda in the armed resistance to the U.S. occupation. Al-Yemeni, says one source, is a "senior guy," someone with the capacity to "make stuff happen, a planner. He wasn?t conducting attacks himself, probably, but he was helping mastermind them...
...government's partnership with extremists was tested after 9/11, however, when Musharraf sided with the Bush Administration in its battle against Islamic militancy. Even so, Musharraf treated homegrown radicals gingerly at first. Under pressure from Washington, he banned various militant organizations in January 2002, but he left their leaders largely unfettered and allowed the organizations to reconstitute under new names.

Drawing from what she learned and her own homegrown recipes, LaBelle published a healthy-eating cookbook this year titled Patti LaBelle's Lite Cuisine (Gotham; $26). The book carries seals of approval from both the A.D.A. and the American Dietetic Association. "It's not just for diabetics," LaBelle insists. "It's for anyone who wants to eat healthier food...
What happened in Istanbul seems to reflect this new face of terrorism. Turkish officials think the double car bombings were the work of homegrown extremists, perhaps inspired and possibly trained by al-Qaeda experts. The Turkish group that first claimed responsibility for both sets of attacks, the Islamic Great Eastern Raiders Front (IBDA-C), is widely believed to be incapable of mounting such a complicated operation entirely on its own. But it seems to have provided the willing bodies--and the cars. The vehicles used in the Saturday and Thursday bombings were apparently bought by the same men. Together with...
