Selected Major Terrorist Incidents Worldwide since the conclusion of Operation Enduring Freedom

Selected Major Terrorist Incidents Worldwide since the conclusion of Operation Enduring Freedom. Coverage includes incidents possibly related to Al Qaeda and involving five or more fatalities -- except those occurring in Iraq, Kashmir, Israel, the West Bank, and Russia. Although the excluded areas undoubtedly involve some incidents linked to Al Qaeda, these are excluded because Al Qaeda?s overall role in these areas is probably not a major factor in the current level of activity. In total, more than 700 were killed and 2,000 were injured in these selected incidents. By Carl Conetta and Melissa Murphy.

The New Occupation: How Preventive War is Wrecking the Military

The New Occupation: How Preventive War is Wrecking the Military . Just over a year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the Bush administration published its new National Security Strategy (NSS), giving prominent place to unilateral, preventive wars -- followed by the dismantling of the leadership and governing structures in targeted countries. What this radical new doctrine failed to acknowledge, describe or discuss was our preparation for the consequences. Left unsaid is that we would bear the heavy new burdens of protracted occupation and state building on a massive scale after these preventive wars. By Charles Knight and Marcus Corbin.

Targeting Small Arms

Targeting Small Arms. One million people have been killed by small arms since the last UN conference on the issue in 2001. While the death toll rises, governments have failed to take concerted action to combat the problem. In pursuit of the "war on terror", some arms producers now supply arms to allies with poor human rights records. It is time states took effective control of small arms from the factory door to the arms affected community. They should back the call for the Arms Trade Treaty and fulfil their duty to protect their citizens.

How Do the New EU and NATO Members Prepare for the Common European Security and Defence Policy? A

How Do the New EU and NATO Members Prepare for the Common European Security and Defence Policy? A Czech View . "We believe that those who - especially in security and defence issues - regard the choice of US vs. Europe, of Anglo-Saxon vs. continental Europe, or of NATO vs. ESDP as a zero-sum game are fundamentally wrong. Aspects of complementarity between the two sides of the Atlantic vastly outnumber and override aspects of competition or rivalry. We are a part of Europe, and we are a part of the trans-Atlantic community. What that means in ESDP practice, is this: We are all for the further development of European military capacities." By Karel Kovanda.
