#1 IIRC TOPIX [old = paraph]> seems a RUSS GOVT. OFFICIAL opined that ISLAMIST/MILITANT-LED DESTABILIZATION OF THE CAUCASUS, RUSS REGIONS + SOVEREIGN EX-SSRS, CAN LAST FOR MANY YEARS, POSSIBLY DECADES???

versus

* WORLD MIL FORUM > CHINESE SCHOLARS: US COULD EXPERIENCE UNABATED TERROR THREAT FOR NEXT 10-20 YEAS DUE TO RISE OF CHINA AND BRIC NATIONS. TERROR ATTACKS TO BECOME LARGER-SCALED [focus on higher levels of mass casaulties], MORE VIOLENT, + WID POTENTIAL USE OF NUKES-WMDS.

* IIRC PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM/TOPIX > PANETTA: Al-QAEDA OFFSHOOTS COULD ADOPT "CORE" QAEDA METHODS TO ECON DESTABILIZE US-WEST.

Post-Osama, Zawahiri-led "Core" Al-Qaeda greatly weakened but is still capable of launching selective spectacular attacks from Pakistan.
