Trio of warlords blamed for surge in Afghanistan violence

 The Los Angeles Times

September 30, 2008; WASHINGTON -- The escalating insurgency in Afghanistan is being spearheaded by a trio of warlords who came to prominence in the CIA-backed war to oust the Soviets but who now direct attacks against U.S. forces from havens in Pakistan, according to U.S. military and intelligence officials. Militant groups led by the three veteran mujahedin are behind a sharp increase this year in the number and sophistication of attacks in Afghanistan and pose a major challenge to President Bush's hope of stabilizing the country by deploying thousands of additional troops.

SASSI Research Report 12

Nuclear Export Controls in India: A Review of Existing Systems and Prospects for Enhanced India-US Cooperation. By Gaurav Rajen

ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to review the governing system of export controls that India has created. The paper first focuses on the development and a description of India’s nuclear control list. Then a description of the approval/denial process used within India to control the export of dual-use items is presented.

The paper is a review of the existing system, and as such represents a resource for analysts to begin assessing vulnerabilities and techniques for strengthening Indian export control systems. Finally, the paper suggests some ideas for strengthening cooperation between the US and Indian governments in enhancing export controls. Possible increased cooperation could include working with trade and small business associations and institutes of foreign trade education to create greater awareness among key players – the small trading houses and suppliers likely to be handling sensitive materials.PDF
