Meanwhile, Bhutto, trapped in her home in Islamabad, some 10 miles away, was able to receive members of the national assembly. "I'm going in," shouted senator Enver Baig, as he strode purposefully toward the assembled police. They melted away as he passed, then reformed their blockade. Other politicians were not so lucky. Nahid Hayat, a party worker hoping to run for office, stood in front of the police to address the crowd. Before she had a chance to speak, she was bundled into a waiting police car. "I have been given no reason to be arrested," she screamed...
...terror strikes ascribed to ETIM were deadly bombings; others were protest riots or attacks on police stations that don't fit common definitions of terrorism. 'I think the U.S. made a diplomatic deal' so China won't use its U.N. Security Council veto to block an Iraq invasion, says Enver Can, director of the Munich-based East Turkestan National Congress, a Uighur exile group. China in return can crack down on Uighur dissidents as 'terrorists' with less risk of censure for human rights violations, Can claims. 'China has the green light to do whatever it wants...
...their teeth in the Bosnian war. That the region did not become a hotbed of militant Islam is thanks in part to U.S. intervention. But the battle for hearts and minds isn't over.

After graduating with a degree in history in 1991, Thaci grew impatient with political conspiracy as a way to kick Slobodan Milosevic out of Kosovo. In June 1993 he and his compatriots turned to military action. Along with his two most trusted associates, Kadri Veseli and Fatmir Limaj, he launched one of the first armed attacks against Serbian forces. By the time Kosovo's rebellion gained traction...
...literary output of Albanian leader Enver Hoxha, the world's most avidly Stalinist ruler until his death in 1985, is broad in reach; a set of his collected works sprawls across a good meter of bookshelf. But the public's appetite never matched the government's passion for printing the dictator's often paranoid musings on Albania's sole true path to proletariat rule and his lonely struggle against nonbelievers. Since the 1991 fall of the communist government, some of Hoxha's tracts have been recycled as housing insulation, but at least 600 tons of the books are moldering expensively...
