...throb of European techno music or, worse, the deafening bass of the latest hip-hop beats, laden with profane and misogynistic lyrics, issue out from iPod speakers unimaginatively arranged in the corner. The guests, deprived of any seating and crowded in such numbers as the suite common room cannot comfortably accommodate, avoid futile attempts at conversation above the musical ruckus and instead, gyrating and flailing, awkwardly imitate the choreographic styles fashionable on MTV.

Within a few years, the Markaz had expanded to include a madrasah, separate schools for boys and girls, a free hospital and a university. Its founders, Hafiz Saeed, Zafar Iqbal and Abdullah Azzam - the latter...
...Sunday's suicide attack by a bomber wearing an explosives belt and driving an explosives-laden motorcycle killed at least 28 people and wounded at least 57. ?It was directed at a familiar target - recruits at the Police Academy in central Baghdad, the same facility that was attacked Dec. 1 in a double bombing that killed 15 and wounded almost 50.
