...success we're seeing today in Iraq has nothing to do with rooting out terrorist cells. What we're seeing instead is a shriveling of grassroots support, Sunni Muslims turning against al-Qaeda and its messianic, dualistic way of looking at the world. It hasn't gone unnoticed in the Middle East that al-Qaeda has killed more Muslims than nonbelievers. Or that al-Qaeda has failed to take an inch of ground in the name of Islam. With this kind of record how could the Iraqis not turn against al-Qaeda...
...force - which Indian government security officials and independent analysts now estimate at between 10,000 and 20,000 armed fighters plus at least 50,000 active supporters - has quickly consolidated power across great swathes of India's poorest regions. The central government, which lists the Naxalites as a banned terrorist group, says that 11 of India's 28 states are now affected in one way or another by the insurgency. Nongovernment organizations put the number of affected states even higher. The rebels tax local villagers, extort payments from businesses, abduct and kill "class enemies" such as government officials and police...
...geopolitical risks that can never be ruled out in a region plagued by instability. In one nightmare scenario, Tehran would respond to a U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear program by lobbing missiles at cities in Gulf states like Qatar that are closely allied with Washington; in another, a terrorist group such as al-Qaeda would target Dubai, scaring off the tourists and white-collar expats helping to drive its heady growth...
...security executive, but Rescorla still acted, in some ways, like a man at war. His unit, Morgan Stanley, occupied 22 floors of Tower 2 and several floors in a nearby building. After the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, Rescorla worried about a terrorist attack on the Trade Center. In 1990, he and an old war buddy wrote a report to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the Trade Center site, insisting on the need for more security in the parking garage. Their recommendations, which would have been expensive, were ignored...
...FARC's undoing, leaving it corrupt and complacent - seemingly more concerned with spoils than social justice - and increasingly despised among even Colombians who once saw the group as a corrective to their country's admittedly epic inequalities. The U.S. and later the European Union designated the FARC as a terrorist organization. When the U.S. finally came to Bogota's aid in 2000 with the multi-billion-dollar Plan Colombia, a counter-insurgency mission disguised as a drug-interdiction project, Colombia's once laughable military began knocking the FARC to the mat. As a result, conservative President Alvaro Uribe is enjoying...
