| Islamic Terrorists Strike Around the Globe |

| A double car-bomb attack, timed to kill hapless victims and then the rescue workers, struck in Grozny, capital of the Chechen republic on Sunday. The first car bomb struck a vehicle carrying members of the Chechen security forces on a highway outside the city. When the rescue workers and victims approached the nearby hospital, a second explosion went off in proximity. One person was apparently killed and seventeen injured in the blasts. In Afghanistan, Islamist hostage-takers released a video of three foreign election workers they are holding. The terrorists have threatened to kill them in three days unless Britain and the United Nations - one of the hostages is working for a British organization and the other two are UN employees - withdraw their presence from Afghanistan. The footage of the three was shown yesterday on Al-Jazeera. 15 Iraqis were killed and eight wounded last night when terrorists fired a rocket into a hotel in the town of Tikrit. In addition, Iraqi insurgents clashed with US troops in Ramadi, where seven Iraqis were killed. Although not a terrorist conflagration, in China's central Henan province, members of the Hui Muslim Chinese minority violently clashed with members of the Han Chinese majority. The New York Times reported that as many as 148 died in the weekend violence, including 18 police officers dispatched to quell it. The violence is apparently continuing. The Hui are the descendants of merchants from the Middle East who settled in China. |
