Iraq: Muslim Perceptions in South Asia
Institute For Topical Studies, Chennai, India
Supplied note: "The latest paper of the Institute For Topical Studies, A-2/3, Bharathi Dasan Colony, K.K.Nagar, Chennai---600078, India, (Tele.Fax.No. 44-4895235) on the above subject is now available at the Web site of the South Asia Analysis Group (SAAG), New Delhi, at [the URL below] - br."
Extract: "During January and February [2003], opposition from the Muslims of South Asia to the threatened military action by the US and the UK against Iraq was mainly vocal, but not demonstrative. [...] The threatened action was viewed as a war on Iraq and its people and not as a war on Islam." - b.raman.

Explosions in Southern Philippines: The Background
Institute For Topical Studies, Chennai, India
Supplied note: "The latest paper of the Institute For Topical Studies, A-2/3, Bharathi Dasan Colony, K.K.Nagar, Chennai---600078, India, (Tele.Fax.No. 44-4895235) on the above subject is now available at the Web site of the South Asia Analysis Group (SAAG), New Delhi, at [the URL below] - br."
Extract: "What the Filippino counter-terrorism agencies face is part urban terrorism, part rural insurgency and part sheer gangsterism. The mix is similar to what Moscow has been facing in Chechnya. [...] Of all the countries in S.E.Asia, [only] Thailand emulates the Indian counter-terrorism techniques which emphasise taking the threat seriously in private, but avoiding over-playing it in public." - b.raman.

Arrest of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad: How Significant?
Institute For Topical Studies, Chennai, India
Supplied note: "The latest paper of the Institute For Topical Studies, A-2/3, Bharathi Dasan Colony, K.K.Nagar, Chennai---600078, India, (Tele.Fax.No. 44-4895235) on the above subject is now available at the Web site of the South Asia Analysis Group (SAAG), New Delhi, at [the URL below] - br."
Extract: "It is doubtful whether the arrest of Khalid would cause any major disruptions in the operations of the dregs of the IIF [i.e. bin Laden's International Islamic Front (IIF) - ed.] spread out in Asia. Claims that his arrest could deliver a serious blow to terrorist operations in S.E.Asia are unduly over-optimistic and unwarranted." - b.raman.
