...times higher. But exact number of deaths is irrelevant. The Janjaweed militias continue to use such tactics as filling wells with sand and raping non-Arab women in order to breed “Arab” offspring. And our concern for the region only grew this week when Osama bin Laden called for a jihad in Sudan against any peacekeeping force.Also recently, rebels funded by the Sudanese government stormed N’Djamena, the capital of Chad.To call Darfur dangerous and unstable is an understatement, and there is reasonable concern that continued insecurity in the region could breed more...
...Authorities have cast doubts on speculation that the terrorists were part of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, saying they appeared to be home-grown religious fanatics. Still, Monday's attack bore some of al-Qaeda's hallmarks. Though the size of the bombs was relatively small and they did not appear to be carried by suicide attackers, the operation featured simultaneous explosions designed to produce maximum headlines as well as casualties...
...most recent video releases by Osama bin Laden and Musab al-Zarqawi - and the reactions to them - reveal that the high-profile jihadist carpetbaggers may be finding it harder to maintain a following precisely in those places where local Islamist insurgencies should provide the most fertile ground.

Either way, the problem facing the likes of Zarqawi is plain...

But Hamas is not typically prone to do the bidding of others, and could just as easily have remained silent on a bomb attack in Egypt. And viewed against the Hamas reponse to Osama bin Laden's latest tape, it appears to suggest a growing rift between the standard-bearers of Islamist politics in the Palestinian territories and the jihadists-without-borders element who would turn the Palestinian cause into a vehicle for their global campaign against the West...
