		Continuous reportage during the first three quarters of year 2003 indicating the existence of Al Qaeda operatives in Bangladesh and their subversive activity in conjunction with local Islamist groups validated claims that the country had emerged as a major safe haven for Islamist terrorist formations.

	The Real Iraqi Election - by Mark Danner and Tom Engelhardt
		On Election Day, Kurds voted for the Kurdish list, Shi'ites voted for the Shi'ite list, a relative handful, about 12 percent, voted for the Allawi list – and the Sunnis made their presence known by not voting at all.
		The election, in effect, was an ethnic census.
		The political burden of the elections was to bring those who felt frightened or alienated by the new dispensation into the political process, so they could express their opposition through politics and not through violence; the task, that is, was to attract Sunnis to the polls and thereby to isolate the extremists.
