...airport in Singapore. In the past, Southeast Asian jihadist groups never attacked Western targets or engaged in suicide operations. Now they do; and they will continue to do so in the coming years. Second, al-Qaeda linked terrorist training camps are still active in Southeast Asia. True, camps in Kalimantan, Indonesia, have been dismantled, but there are training camps on the Philippine island of Mindanao. Although the camps there are small and mobile, and the recruits trained in them few in number, the training is impressive, including study of chemical and biological agents. Third, regional governments continue to lack both...
...show is like trying to storm the ramparts of Helm's Deep?it's musty, dark, smoky, crowded and the mob seems possessed by a demonic, or at least lascivious, force. The young men have traveled many kilometers to the one-mosque town of Pelaihari in Indonesia's South Kalimantan province to see the country's hottest and most controversial dangdut singer. They're rowdy, they're eager and, in clear defiance of the laws of physics, all 10,000 of them want in, now, through the soccer stadium's single narrow entrance.

Of the 25 deaths since the end of July in Nunukan, East Kalimantan province, 15 have been children under age five. The Indonesian Red Cross said that the camp, now home to more than 25,000 refugees, is overcrowded and unsanitary, with most deaths caused by diarrhea and respiratory problems. The fatalities came amid growing tension among Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines over...
...Manser and John Kuenzli, the administrator of the Bruno Manser Foundation, spent several months in desultory travel around northern Kalimantan, gradually approaching the route that Manser would follow into Sarawak. They talked of various actions Manser might take when he came out, Kuenzli says, but never resolved anything. None of the schemes they discussed?bringing a group of Penan to confront Malaysian politicians at an international timber conference, for example?seemed sufficiently dramatic or effective...
