‘Threat of home grown terrorism growing in US’
Times of India – Mar 15, 2007
Charles
Allen, the Chief Intelligence Officer with the Department of Homeland security,
told a Congressional panel on Tuesday that, “We are increasingly facing the
threat of homegrown terrorists. The US-UK aviation plot, occurring a year after
the subway attacks in the United Kingdom, was a wake-up call to the British in
terms of the breadth and depth of Islamic radicalization
there”. The agencies involved
in tracking down terrorism are yet to come up with precise answers on why it is
that America has yet to come up with a national assessment of the problem, the
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs was
told. Allen said the
authorities have been going about with care and caution in pursuing the issue of
homegrown radicalism and terrorism so that the general sensitivities of the
Muslim Americans are not
offended.
India proves home-grown reforms work
Business Report – Mar 15, 2007
Countries needed to develop negotiation capacity to deal with these institutions. It was important that economies must determine institutional depth and adaptability when ushering in reforms, Ahluwalia said. Magan Mistry, a senior economist at Nedbank said home-grown reforms would work well as long as they were not tainted by political influence. South Africa’s black economic empowerment programme was a good example of home-grown reforms. When asked about the fact that this programme had so far benefited a few, Mistry said refinements could make it broad-based… But Gurchi Kadan, a managing director at Standard Chartered Southern Africa, said developing economies should not worry about their sectors growing at different rates. He said governments should try and maximise the “trickle-down” effects to benefit those sectors that grew slowly. Home-grown solutions in such cases would work well if they are implemented with integrity. Standard Bank’s group chief economist, Goolam Ballim, said home-grown reforms allowed for the blending of conventional economics wisdom and recognitions of specific dynamics in an economy, such that if any imbalances existed, they could be addressed. He added that there was the risk of such reforms taking on a political bias, but this would be mitigated by the presence of public expression from civil society and other groups.

Community Approach To Terrorism Needed
Forbes – Mar 14, 2007
The director-general of the MI5, the UK’s security and counter-intelligence service, recently made a rare public appearance to reveal the scale of the threat: –She said that her service is working to deal with 200 groupings or networks totalling over 1,600 individuals who are actively engaged in plotting or facilitating terrorist acts. –The nature of the threat is as important as the scale. Al-Qaida specializes in “spectacle. ” The response of the UK and other Western governments has been equally bold, symbolic and global.
An evening at the cabaret with Irish overtones
Seattle Times – Mar 14, 2007
“I think that honestly the spirit with which this cabaret is put together is one of genuine love and joy and honor for the culture we all share,” she said. “Part of being Irish is that infectious sharing and communication. What’s striking about this home-grown production, she says, is that, “In one night you get the music, the dance, the stories, the sense of being in the kitchen; around the fire. It manages to capture what’s fantastic and good about being Irish. You don’t have to know anything about Ireland, and you leave feeling as much a part of it as I do.
