Ethnic Assamese political parties and separatist groups like the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) have all taken up the anti-immigrant cause, as have other non-Muslim minorities. A series of bomb attacks in the state capital Guwahati on Oct. 30, 2008, killed more than 60 people, and local police say that militants agitating for an ethnic Bodo homeland, who have clashed violently with local Muslims, are to blame...

Her mother has indicated that the preemies are the result of IVF treatment, a confounding thought from both a parent's perspective--Suleman already has six children under the age of 8--and a physician's. In June, just about the time those eight babies began growing inside her womb, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) issued updated guidelines on the number of embryos that should be transferred to a woman's body in the hope they'll implant in the uterus and lead...
