...World Trade Center in 1993, the Paris bombings were our first confrontation with Islamic terror," says one French justice official. "So this case is important historically, but it also educated us fast." What investigators learned is that the success of the G.I.A. in exporting to France its jihad against the Algerian regime made the organization a logical partner for Osama bin Laden. Since 1995 al-Qaeda cells seem to have imitated the G.I.A.'s tactics: using car theft, credit-card fraud and document forgery to fund terror plots; recruiting and indoctrinating alienated youths and petty crooks from Arab communities, then...
...groups. But some acts, such as providing "safe houses," are expressly forbidden, while giving "medicine" is specifically allowed. Is visiting a training camp illegal in itself? What's more, defense lawyers said a rifle cited as evidence was owned by a suspect's father, and an audiocassette tape extolling jihad was about the Afghan mujahedin's fight against the Soviets.

New Delhi's commitment to free and fair polls has resurrected faith in self-rule in the valley. And Pakistan's return to Army autocracy has ended any illusions Kashmiri Muslims might have entertained about their alleged benefactor. A Nielsen poll conducted in the middle of the election...
...indictment that's been confirmed." Something deeper worries Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's international justice program. "Some in Zagreb," he fears, "draw comfort from the Bush Administration's objections to an International Criminal Court" and enjoy seeing "the world's only superpower going on a jihad against international justice." Ironically, the Bobetko dispute comes as Croatia's President, Stipe Mesic, prepares to take the witness stand in the Hague. One of 177 witnesses whom prosecutors plan to call in the newest phase of Milosevic's war-crimes trial - dealing with "ethnic cleansing" in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina...
