| Summary/Abstract |
U.S. military commanders and others in the defense community are concerned that militant Chechens, trained in suicide bombing and extremist tactics, are available to support Taliban elements in Afghanistan today. In reality, the relationship between these two groups is minimal and there is little likelihood of substantive cooperation between them. This position becomes clear after a brief review of Chechnya's history regarding Islam, its extremist groups, and its chronology of suicide bombings.

| Summary/Abstract |
Russian-Iranian satellite and missile cooperation has grown substantially over the past ten to fifteen years, and there are sufficient grounds to suggest that the scale of the two countries' collaboration in this field is much higher and more focused than many in the West are aware. At a time when both Moscow and Tehran are taking bolder measures to counter US and Western interests, growing trends of Russian support to Iran's satellite and missile program development can not be ignored. The following article correlates Russian direct and indirect assistance to the progressive development of Iran's satellite and missile program, addressing Iranian assets including the Mesbah, Sina-1, and Zohreh platforms as well as the Shahab-3,-4 and -5 missiles.
