from the polling booths. These actions however have some
Kashmiri?s pointing out that in the ongoing unrest in the
small South Asian nation, the Indian government itself
has favored a group of surrendered militants, called the
Ikhwanul Muslimen to fight their battles. In the mid

the president to curtail trade and travel to Cuba,

backfire. From Florida, FSRN's Mark Antokas files this
