A week of progress

Patrick Belton at oxblog has a nice summary of some good news, if you believe the war on Islamic Terrorism is a global affair. Excerpting a summary:

• Nato has agreed to expand its involvement in Iraq


• Syria has agreed to cooperate with the United States and Iraq


• Musharaff has made an overture to Indian PM Singh for a final status agreement on Kashmir


• Nigeria is attempting to create a role for itself in mobilising an African Union response to ending the genocide in western Sudan


• American Marines have trained a counterterror force in Niger to operate against Al Qa'eda-linked militants in ungoverned swaths of the Sahara
