...recent anti-terrorist image was a calculated one. After 9/11, the topography of Pakistani politics dramatically changed, and Islamist political parties grew powerful by feeding on local anger against the pro-American stance of the Musharraf regime. These Islamists parties began to eat into the electoral base of Bhutto’s party. Benazir Bhutto’s recent opposition to Islamists was thus more to do with immediate electoral interests rather than long held political beliefs...
...Rebel forces, however, accused the French airlift of expatriates of providing cover for Chadian army attack helicopters operating out of the same base. By firing rockets at rebel formations, those helicopters allowed Déby loyalists to drive insurgent troops to the outskirts of N'Djamena on Monday.

...little at a time, and are less likely to waste it,” said Maureen A. Henry, a Quincy dining hall employee.

The result: three quarters of fans polled by the Liverpool...
...longer-term commitment. For Taylor - who's not had any contact with either Liverpool owner about his scheme - picking up a private business that's not up for grabs in the first place seems like a pretty high hurdle. And even among Liverpool's legendarily large fan base, finding so many with enough money to pony up won't be easy. For now, though, Taylor's undeterred. "This is a market test. I don't know how widespread and deep the appetite might be," he says. "There's only one way to find out." Other goals could be within closer...
