That doesn't mean the deal was government to government. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf denies that his regime supplied Pyongyang's enrichment program. But in 1998 Washington slapped sanctions on the lab of Abdul Qadir Khan, the so-called father of Pakistan's Bomb. As head of the nation's nuclear program, he made the Ghauri as a carbon copy of North Korea's Nodong missile, say U.S. officials. Khan is believed to have established front companies and smuggling operations to gather and sell nuclear gear and blueprints. Musharraf forced his resignation as the lab's leader 18 months...
...Pakistani Frontier Corps, which is responsible for guarding the border, is a ragtag, disorganized militia that isn't even part of the country's regular army or security forces. Recruited locally and often unpaid, Corps members are susceptible to al-Qaeda bribes. U.S. intelligence material suggests that the Corps has been infiltrated by al-Qaeda, with the terrorists sometimes donning their uniforms and venturing into Afghanistan. There is also growing evidence that al-Qaeda members have been posing as Afghan government troops to get around and attack U.S. patrols...
...been a long time since anyone in Kotka Miralam Daud Shah, an oasis village near the Afghan border, had received a letter from America.

...tensions have eased slightly. The artillery downpours have lessened to an occasional shower. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said that India's roll-back of troops was 'a step in the right direction' and he invited India to resume talks with Pakistan to defuse hostilities. But India refuses to see Musharraf unless Pakistan stops what New Delhi describes as 'cross-border terrorism.' Neither country has yet specified how many troops it will pull back, but India is expected to keep the bulk of its forces in Kashmir, where Muslim militants, backed by Pakistani religious extremists, are waging a 12-year long...
...representatives of nine Islamic groups?including Rohingya forces, the Islamic Oikya Jote and the ULFA?met in Ukhia to form the Bangladesh Islamic Manch, a united council under HUJI's leadership. So far, the Manch has restricted itself to circulating speeches by bin Laden and Mullah Masood Azhar, a Pakistani militant leader. But it has big plans, says the HUJI source: "The dream is to create a larger Islamic land than the territorial limits of Bangladesh to include Muslim areas of Assam, north Bengal and Burma's Arakan province." That dream, if Islamic terrorists are allowed to continue their operations...
