Senator: Report on Iraq Intelligence 'Damning' Fri Mar 12, 2004 03:14 PM ET
By Tabassum Zakaria WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report about prewar intelligence on Iraq will be "tough and damning" and spread the blame around, a senior Republican senator said on Friday.
"It will be damning of some of the intelligence. I think it's going to be highly critical, it will be critical of a lot of different programs and people," said Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, third-ranking in the Senate Republican leadership.
The blame spreads over Democratic and Republican administrations, intelligence agencies and Congress, he said. "Nobody is without blame."
The report is expected to be issued this spring, possibly in April.

LONDON — Western intelligence sources believe Al Qaida employed insurgents from North Africa for the train bombings in Spain that killed about 200 people.
The sources said Spanish and other European intelligence and security agencies believe that sleeper cells established by Al Qaida-aligned groups helped designate the targets and provide logistics and safe haven for operatives who detonated 10 backpack bombs aboard commuter trains in Madrid on Thursday. The cells were established by organizations that stem from Algeria and Morocco and employed local insurgency operatives, including Basque separatists.

Presidential candidate Nikolai Kharitonov is a former KGB officer, an admirer of Soviet secret police founder Felix Dzerzhinsky and fiercely proud of Russia's communist past.
Still, the 55-year-old Communist Party candidate insists his long-shot bid to defeat incumbent President Vladimir Putin in Sunday's election is a tad ahead of its time.
