karachi has had ups and downs and the history is sectarian, ethnic. there is a large pashtun population there, who really control the lever on the dock, they control the transport, the mass transit, in karachi, and, then there is this other ethnic group which is this government, the mqm. i think, again, there is political capacity to handle that situation, and the mqm has demonstrated a number of times, they are capable of handling it and, to be fair to them, i think a lot of work has been done in karachi, by the mqm and are responsible for karachi, has put in a lot of effort there to improve the situation: he is elected. the government is elected. put together a good coalition, the sandwiches functioning. it is straightforward, leading to the restoration, since that has happened, it is another positive development and is in the process of performing itself. the leasing which perhaps needs attention now in terms of political stability is the discussion between the oppositionnd ruling party on division of power between the president and parliament, iss

but i want to get to the southern and jab and karachi. would you be willing to terrorizgive you a theory on whe areas would look like, southern and j --southern punjab and karachi? >> i have not seen the thing. but it's been on the table and people have talked about increasing the number of provinces for a long time. it has not gone anywhere as far as political institutions are concerned. but i was hopeful, optimistic on the political thing because we have an elected government now. we have a government in baluchistan with all the ministers being baluch. we had a similar thing in the past, but this time it seems more durable. and we have a fix on the grievance is the other side has. the job opportunities and educational facilities and in terms of loyalties for the gas being pumped from baluchistan, infrastructure development, all those on the table. as the question was here, that you have to do a major reorientation after this kind of insurgency, i think it's the biggest thing the country can get going through a prolonged insurgency. if l

my impression is if you wanted to understand the hottie you had to be in karachi or the border areas. i did not know there is a moscow across town in islamabad called the red mosque. it is an incredibly dull place there is no nightlife a friend called it ought low self-esteem abad it was run by a charismatic seven brothers and that younger of the two ran the media operations while the brother ran the religious side i needed introduction to get and and i thought this same individual was a very close friend of osama bin laden. he was a person. >> host: for me to interrupt a close friend of osama bin laden your father is u.s. army report officer and and your brother is fighting in iraq and marine corps uniform. this is some serious risk taking on your part. >> yes. it brought me into a moral impasse more than once like what you say you have to empathize are you never be allowed in. you have to show a sincere interest. they'll understand if it is a feign interest or somebody who is trying to come in and get a quote. i was able to successfully convey was sincerely interested in more about

an attack on a hotel in karachi in 2002, in jordan, the days inn in 2005, attack on a hilton in egypt. very recently, anderson, i assume you recall the attack on a marriott hotel in islamabad in pakistan. hotels in the hospitality business, they can't turn themselves into fortresses. they are soft targets. a western-owned hotel, western brand-name hotel is going to attract western tourists, western businessmen, business people, and, of course, they're going to be very attractive targets for those groups. >> no group has accepted a responsibility for these attacks. peter bergen and other experts we talked to are pointing the finger at a group called jemaah islamiyah. kathy, you have covered this terror group extensively. you know a lot about them. tell us what they want and what their message might be if, indeed, they are behind these bombings? >> reporter: well, jemaah islamiyah had a slip within the network years ago. there's another group who still believes they should be launching major attacks like this one and in recent years. there's another group here, much larger part of the g

there have been a lot of others, attack on a hotel in karachi in 2002. attack on three american brand-name hotels in amaun, jordan. the best western, rat dan. you recall the attack on the marriott hotel in islamabad in the last several months in pakistan. hotels in the hospitality business. by definition they cannot turn themselves into a forress. a western brand-name hotel is going to attract western trurist, western businessmen and business people and they're going to be attractive targets for those groups. >> the ritz-carlton jakarta and j.w. marriott are the two hotels where the latest explosions have occurred. zain, it's easy to see why these hotels are very attractive targets for the terrorists. >> if you're just joining us, let's recap this top story breaking right now. at least eight people have been killed in bombings at two neighboring luxury hotels in south jakarta. more than 40 people wounded. the authorities on the ground saying foreigners are among the casualties. no one has claimed responsibility so far. police are suspecting the terror ne

in fact, students that i met both in karachi and locore and islamabad were anti-american.eemed two of sorbic more of the anti-american propaganda an internalized it then the rest of the population. >> i think that is reflected in these provincial distributions as well, that is one possible explanation for some of the things that chris was pointing out is puzzling is that in questions that are just focused on the u.s., in the provinces that are more urban and better educated, they are tended to be larger majorities giving anti-american answers then in those provinces that were less so. >> i have a couple of concerns. i really take your point and that is why i said this is not a sample that is selected to be provincially representatives of that is why we were cautious in which ones we presented. in the sample, the survey we were doing with jacob schapiro at stanford, we are going to be looking closely at the issues that you noted segui at actually asked to see the enumerators-- the grid by which they select homes. we were also asking to see household by household what the re

there have been others, one in karachi, the best western in amman, jordan. an attack on a hilton in egypt, very recently. i'm sure you recall the attack on a marriott hotel in islamabad in the last several months in pakistan. hotels are in the hospitality business. by definition they can't turn themselves into for tretresses. they're soft targets. western businesspeople will be targeted. they're going to be attractive targets for those groups. the second point is, the group that is almost certainly carried this out is al qaeda affiliate in indonesia. it attacked in 2003 on the same target. it did the bali attack in 2002, killing 200 people, mostly westerners. it's done a second round after tacks in 2005. what is interesting about these attacks if it is jamal islamia, this is somewhat surprising. . they have more or less taken themselves out of circulation in indonesia. the government has had an aggressive campaign against this al qaeda affiliate. they've arrested a lot of the top leadership. the indonesian public has had a great deal of revulsion against the

level of winning hearts and minds which does a great distance in making sure that the inspector in karachi and not just public debt by a bilateral shared security treaty but genuinely feels that he's he needs to ferret out information and share it? i appreciate your thoughts on how closely you work with the state department in the projection of american soft power? >> we work very closely with the state department and the international environment. indeed, when i travel internationally, i immediately link-up with whatever embassy or consulate where i am going said that we attendant of the things together. when i met with the president of pakistan a couple of weeks ago, the ambassador was with me. why? because we want to show that we are linked together and have a common message. we use that as an example in an area where we can assist in helping create a civilian law enforcement presence that would take the place of a military presence, particularly in certain parts of the country. a tour -- a more direct example would be mexico where congress actually appropriated money in an initiative t
