Khost, Southeast Afghanistan   Report/Paper
Jere Van Dyk 12/20/06
Despite an American military presence here, the Taliban are back and Khost is more dangerous than it was a few years ago. There are suicide attacks, killings in the streets, and corruption is rife. A newspaper predicts that the Taliban will regain complete control by 2010.  

Baluchistan, Pakistan   Report/Paper
Jere Van Dyk 12/18/06
Baluchistan borders on Afghanistan and Iran. In the past it was a haven for the Mujahideen; now it harbors the Taliban and perhaps al-Qaeda.   

Kabul, November 2006   Report/Paper
Jere Van Dyk 11/30/06
Jere Van Dyk reports on the current situation in Kabul, describing the changes since his first visit in 1970.

Islamabad, Karachi, and Peshawar   Report/Paper
Jere Van Dyk 11/20/06
Jere Van Dyk reports on the mood in Pakistan and the situation in the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, scene of several aerial attacks on villages by the CIA and the Pakistan government.

Marrakech, Past and Present   Report/Paper
Jere Van Dyk 11/05/06
Morocco is a Muslim country, but Marrakech is to Europe what Acapulco or Cancun is to Americans: an exotic, safe tourist destination in the sun, says Jere Van Dyk. Yet al-Qaeda has a presence here, as shown by the 2003 suicide bomber attacks in Casablanca.

Ramadan in Peshawar   Report/Paper
Jere Van Dyk 10/18/06
Jere Van Dyk returns to his old haunts in Peshawar and is awed by the faith that permeates life there. Yet violence is just beneath the surface. He talks to one Afghan who has once again become a guerrilla leader, and another who was wrongfully imprisoned in Guantanamo.
