In the Moroccan city of Casablanca, five suicide bombers hit within 20 minutes of one another, spreading death and destruction across an array of targets: a Spanish social club, a hotel, a Jewish community center and cemetery, a restaurant next to Belgium's consulate. Nearly half of the 41 who lost their lives had been at the club, Casa d'Espana, where two suicide bombers muscled in after slitting the throat of a guard.

Before Riyadh and Casablanca, it was tempting, if just for a moment, to believe that the war on terrorism was going well, that the big picture was of one success after another.

The villagers said the soldiers went house to house, pounding on doors with their rifle butts, pistol-whipping men of all ages. One was Zul Karnaini, a slender 28-year-old with a bandaged head. "One soldier shouted that I was a dog, a pig, a communist...
...that GAM shouldn't just be defeated but totally liquidated." Washington has applied heavy pressure behind the scenes to keep the two sides talking but has yet to condemn the atrocities in Aceh now that fighting has resumed, mindful perhaps of Indonesia's essential support in the war on terror...
