...scores of dives, cafés, strip clubs, casinos and after-hours clubs catering to foreigners and to Japanese who like to hang out with them. The crowd - American bond-traders in Brooks Brothers suits, visiting models, second-rate rock stars, African bouncers, Israeli street vendors, drunken U.S. Marines, Pakistani pimps and assorted polyglot freaks - reinforced the notion of Roppongi as ground zero for Tokyo's gilded, fecund nightlife...

"On a number of occasions," says Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, 42, the supreme commander of the Lashkar-i-Taiba militants, "they took the money and tipped off the Indians. So we trained our own manpower."
