Kyrgyzstan's War on Terror

IWPR has an interesting article on Kyrgyzstan's war against Islamic militants. The regime there is cracking down on a number of terrorist groups, while opponents argue it is merely going after dissidents by linking it to terrorism while currying favor from foreign powers. I don't know this area enough to comment in depth, but I do knew the conventional wisdom on the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is that it never really recovered from the fall of the Taliban, so I question how serious a presence they could be in Kyrgyzstan. However, there were terrorist incidents in the country last May.
