The Reemergence of Hizballah in Turkey
With secularism, PKK terrorism, and other Turkish issues increasingly becoming international concerns, a dangerous Islamist trend has been overlooked: radical groups inspired more by the revolutionary ideology of Iran than domestic issues such as Kurdish nationalism are staking their own claim to power.

Revitalizing the United Nations' counterterrorism role would be an important step to bolster the international effort
