...years Bangladeshi authorities denied any active jihadist movement within its borders. That stance changed in 2005 when a local jihadist group, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen, took credit for an audacious attack in which bombs were detonated in about one hour in all but one of Bangladesh's 64 districts. The incident forced Bangladesh's leaders to acknowledge the country's internal terrorist threat. Indian intelligence and BSF officials say that Dhaka is not doing enough to stop Bangladeshi jihadist groups in the border areas from crossing into India. But the victory in Bangladesh's Dec. 29 general election of the secular...
...million in Bangladesh. "I'm sure that as many got across," says Ashish Mitra, a former director general of the BSF. "It's a losing battle. Cattle-smuggling is the biggest problem that we have."

Though, admittedly, they didn't seem to know about any other shorts, and I might have told MacLachlan I'd buy the $65 bottle of cabernet...
...murdered wife. But for the moment, he will probably be Holbrooke's most enthusiastic partner. For all of Zardari's flaws, says Riedel, "he gets it: he knows this is as much his war as it is ours." Zardari can't ignore the now routine terrorist strikes within Pakistan; suicide bombers have attacked major cities, killing hundreds. Besides, since Bhutto's death, Zardari is at the top of al-Qaeda's hit list. Because of a sense of self-preservation, or a commitment to responsible leadership, he has promised to crack down on terrorist groups...
