...diagnostic software company based in Emeryville, Calif., was mushrooming with clients like IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Intel--but state taxes and high costs were a drag on growth. He spent a year checking out Seattle, Phoenix and Las Vegas, then bet on Reno. His employees took some persuading. Mohidul Saad, 38, a software engineer, learned of the impending move this past summer. The Bangladeshi native and his family had grown attached to their ethnic community in the Bay Area and thought of Reno as a dust-choked gambling town. They have since changed their minds.

(where his wife Lori Van Arsdale is mayor), to his family home, now frequently visited by Americans...
...Publicly, at least, Pakistan is trying to distance itself from jihadis like Saad. Last week, Armitage said that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf gave him "absolute assurance that there was nothing happening" across the Line of Control and that guerrilla camps in Pakistan's Kashmir territory either no longer existed or "would be gone tomorrow." If Pakistan does indeed seal off the Kashmir border, as the U.S. is insisting, some militant groups will wither, starved of Islamabad's covert training, arms and cash. Already in Muzaffarabad, the main city in Pakistan's side of Kashmir, unemployed jihadis are scraping through...
