Deadly terror activity in Algeria and Morocco this month has offered new evidence that extremist groups across north Africa remain intent on attacking "infidel" regimes and their Western allies. But experts and security officials say there's no reason to believe that these groups are united or are taking orders from al-Qaeda - at least, not yet. "Infrequent contacts between groups have occurred, and limited exchanges of help provided, but there's no sign of operational coordination or integration," said a French counterterror official after the April 11 bombing in Algiers that killed 300 and injured over 300.

...this: How many mountain refuges in the Alps offer rose water to sprinkle on your hands and face after a hard day's hike? (None that I've ever encountered.) If that and other traditional Berber touches - along with some first-rate walking - sounds tempting, then look no further. Morocco's High Atlas range is a stunning destination, and easier to reach than you'd think. From Marrakech, it's a mere 90-minute drive up a winding valley road to the Toubkal National Park.

Each of the nine bedrooms is different and all are romantic, though not luxurious. There's a pool and a hot tub. And a cool restaurant with a shaded terrace...
...displaying DVDs by imams and books with titles like Scientific Miracles in the Koran. On one corner there's a halal butcher shop; around another, a music store that sells only Arab music. Someone has plastered posters advertising a concert by the Moroccan musician Daoudi. But this isn't Morocco. This is France. And we're not in the suburbs, where many of France's marginalized North African communities live. The Goutte d'Or quarter is right in the 18th arrondissement of the capital. "This neighborhood, you wouldn't even know you are in Paris," says Naresh Patel...
