“Hayden takes China to task”
By Bill Gertz
March 13, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Mr. Hayden also criticized China’s pursuit of Sudanese oil supplies, even at the cost of backing a government that the United States accuses of participating in genocidal activities in the Darfur region of Sudan.

But in a nuanced appraisal of the Asian communist giant, Mr. Hayden also expressed professional “admiration” for the speed and sophistication of its military buildup, suggested its behavior is an outgrowth of its historical role in Asia, and opined it is “not inevitable that they will be an enemy.””

India: Police in Mumbai on alert for sleeper cells of jihadists
Or, alternatively, narcoleptic inner spiritual strugglers.

“Terror sleeper cells hidden in Mumbai, say police,” from the Indo-Asian News Service:

Mumbai, March 12 (IANS) Many terrorist sleeper cells are hidden in Mumbai with designs to blow up top business and political hubs in the city, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Mumbai Police disclosed Wednesday.

The revelations follow preliminary investigations after two Bangladeshi terrorists were gunned down late Tuesday night in Mira Road, in adjoining Thane district by the ATS.

‘The targets include the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Jeejeebhoy Towers Building, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) headquarters, the Mantralaya, the Maharashtra government headquarters, all in south Mumbai, and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in suburban Bandra-Kurla Complex,’ Additional Commissioner of Police (ATS) Param Bir Singh told IANS.

According to Singh, the two killed Bangladeshi terrorists had close ties with the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI). One of them has been identified as Mohammad Ali.

The police also recovered fake Indian currency notes, two small firearms and a white powdery substance suspected to be RDX from the two gunned down Bangladeshis.

‘We have sent this powder to the lab for analysis to ascertain whether it is RDX or not,’ Singh said.

‘The Mumbai police have gone on a high alert following the encounter and security at all important places has been beefed up,’ Singh said.
