Position: Specialist Editor
I'm an editor on the political and general news desk in Singapore where we handle news production from across Asia stretching from Australia to Afghanistan. I also blog, mainly on South Asia, especially Pakistan - one of the millions with roots on both sides of the troubled border. I was in Delhi, formerly, responsible for political and general news coverage from India and Nepal. As a long-term military writer, I have covered insurgencies beginning with the Sikh revolt in the Punjab in the early 1980s to Kashmir in 1989, and the war in Afghanistan.
