Afghanistan and Iraq
The AP carries a claim that the Afghani intelligence services knew that there was a plot to attack Karzai. (And yet it still came off?)
(Reuters) Baitullah Mehsud, the top Taleban leader in Pakistan's tribal areas, pulled out of peace talks with the new Pakistani government after the Pakistani's refused to pull all troops out of Waziristan.
And, A really eyeopening piece in the Independent about the trade of heroin for weaponry through Tajikistan by the Russian mob. One pound of heroin gets 6 AK's in the main trading market. (How hard is it for the Russian mob to find 6 AK's?)
(Note: So we have Afghani border problems to the east with Pakistan, to the north with the former Russian Republics, and to the west with Iran.....)
In Iraq, 4 US soldiers killed yesterday, bringing the AP count to 4,056 US soldiers killed in Iraq.
The heaviest current fighting is in Sadr City as the US tries to push in a buffer to protect the Green Zone from rocket and mortar attacks.
