...winding up a trip to America and Europe during which he'd been showered with praise for his role in the war against terror. Constituents at home, especially in the restive provinces bordering Afghanistan, are less likely to give him such a warm welcome. Each terror attack on home soil can also be interpreted as an attack by extremists on Musharraf's government and his pro-Western stance. "We have to act very strong against them," Musharraf said of the Quetta killers. "It is unfortunate that this small minority is able to derail or undermine national feelings." If Musharraf cannot...
...borders as "ridiculous" and "fabrications" by "crazy people." The Prime Minister may now be rethinking those words because a chain of arrests of suspected Jemaah Islamiah (JI) operatives over the past month in Thailand and in neighboring Cambodia has exposed a potentially virulent terrorist cell operating on Thai soil. In southern Thailand last week, police arrested three Thai nationals, allegedly JI members, accused of plotting a series of Bali-style car-bomb attacks on five embassies?American, Australian, British, Israeli and Singaporean?in Bangkok.

Kazaa has savvily chosen a decentralized business strategy too: it's a mirage of complicated partnerships with the official owner, Sharman Networks, tucked away on the South Pacific island of Vanuatu. So far, its diffuse structure has kept its management off U.S. soil and out of U.S. courtrooms...
...Vajpayee wants to be remembered as the man who brought peace to the region. "This will be the last chance for talks, at least in my lifetime," he said in an emotional parliamentary address last Friday. He has asserted that jihadis are still crossing into Kashmir from Pakistani soil, which in the past would have precluded entertaining the idea of talks. But he's softening this position-and infuriating hardliners in his government-because, he said, "This bloodbath should come...
