...indicted men are mostly Saudi members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah guerrilla movement, and the indictment alleges that unnamed Iranian officials "inspired, supported and supervised" the accused men in their surveillance activities preceding the attack. And it doesn't take an intelligence analyst to figure out that an organization "supported and supervised" by Iran would not attack the world's most powerful military in a traditionally hostile neighboring country unless someone pretty powerful in Tehran had signed off on the strike. And although outgoing FBI director Louis Freeh had accused the Clinton Administration of soft-pedaling on the case...
...There doesn't seem to be much doubt among Peruvians that Lori Berenson was clearly hooked up with the MRTA (the leftist Tupac Amaru guerrilla group). So for Peruvians the issue of unfairness (unless you assume there's something basically unfair in the court system) is moderated by the fact that she got a second trial and she got an enormous amount of attention, which most Peruvians don't get under similar circumstances...

Instead, the ambushes have occurred in the cities-three paramilitary police were killed in Grozny last week after they called home from a phone office; five police and soldiers were shot in the market the same day. The guerrilla units' small size, once touted by the Russians as proof of their own success, is now turning into a deadly problem for them. Groups of four or five fighters emerge to attack and then fade back into the population. The common Russian response-round-ups and house-to-house raids...
