"The bad guys," says a Western diplomat in Islamabad, "have been taught that talking on cell phones or sat phones is a no-no. Now they are delivering messages on motorcycles." Raids on Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan aimed at finding al-Qaeda men have been compromised by leaks from local police and intelligence services.

The raid was the tail end of a major police operation in which documents were seized and arrests were made across Belfast. Two hundred officers staged raids on half a dozen homes, starting just before dawn. Among four people held for questioning was Denis Donaldson, the Sinn Fein official who runs...
