Gun The cruel reprieve
The bombs are no longer being dropped quite so mercilessly on Afghanistan but US resolve to continue the war against terrorism has not waned, reports Anayat Durrani from Washington and reports on the improbable case of the American who signed up for the Taliban, below
The unlikely Taliban

'What tiger?'
For years, Israel has been busy collecting sensitive information about the US. Why has it been above suspicion, wonders Mohamed Hakki in Washington

The Afghan killing fields
There has been no official count of the number of civilians killed in the first eight and a half weeks of US bombing on Afghanistan, and the Pentagon has falsified the facts about its war. But one American academic is setting the record straight, writes Faiza Rady

The Asian connection
As the US casts its searchlight into Al-Qa'eda's shadows, countries in Southeast Asia veer into view, writes Nyier Abdou

He came in peace
Although he was brimming with good advice, Colin Powell skilfully skirted the real issues on his whirlwind tour of South Asia. Iffat Malik reports from Islamabad

Playing favourites
Eager to squeeze both India and Pakistan under the US umbrella, Powell was all things to all people on his recent visit to the subcontinent, writes Sudhanshu Ranjan from New Delhi

Volcanoes and violence
War and natural disaster in Congo and political turmoil in Zimbabwe overshadowed the deliberations of last week's Southern African leaders' summit, writes Gamal Nkrumah

United we stand
The carrot of European Union membership in 2004 lurks behind Turkey's sudden turnaround on Cypriot reunification, reports Michael Jansen from Nicosia
