Iranian president lauds suicide bombers as invincible

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad praised his country's ability to recruit "hundreds of suicide bombers a day," saying "suicide is an invincible weapon."
Ahmadinejad made the comments during a visit to a site south Iran used to prepare suicide bombers during the Iraq-Iran war, Iranian state television reported.
He praised Hizbullah fighters for their suicidal spirit during last summer's confrontation with Israel.
Iran recruited thousands of suicide bombers, many of whom were children, and sent them to the frontline to face Saddam Hussein's army.
"Suicide bombers in this land showed us the way, and they enlighten our future," he said.
The Iranian president said the will to commit suicide was "one of the best ways of life."

"Spanish police 'smash' Eta unit"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Spanish authorities say they have smashed a commando unit belonging to the Basque separatist group, Eta.
The Spanish interior minister said the unit was thought to have been behind 24 attacks in Spain between 2004 and 2006.
Eight people were held and bomb-making material seized, in what is described as one of the biggest police operations since Eta declared a ceasefire in 2006.
That deal, agreed in March, was broken nine months later by a bomb attack at Madrid airport which killed two people.
The two deaths were the first attributed to Eta in more than three years. The group is seeking an independent state in northern Spain and south-west France."

"Bush calls detention of 15 Britons 'inexcusable'"
By Jon Ward
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 1, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CAMP DAVID, Md. -- President Bush yesterday said that Iran's detention of 15 British sailors and marines for nine days is "inexcusable behavior," and called for their immediate release.
"The Iranians must give back the hostages. They're innocent," Mr. Bush said during a joint press conference with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains."

"Britain and Iran raise the stakes"
By Paul Reynolds
World Affairs correspondent, BBC News website
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Britain and Iran remain locked in diplomatic deadlock over the 15 captured British sailors and marines.
The best hope at the moment is an exchange of diplomatic notes. There is private diplomacy as well as public comment.
Iran has meanwhile used two of the prisoners to make confessions on television that they entered Iranian waters illegally but also to state that they were being well treated. Iran has therefore projected itself as the injured party, one that is correct to demand an apology but also one that is treating its prisoners well.
It has also got captives to call for the US and UK to withdraw from Iraq and to stop its "intervening policies", as one of the letters from Faye Turney put it.
Britain has countered with GPS readings to show that its personnel stayed on the Iraqi side and has undertaken a diplomatic offensive, getting some help from the Security Council and more from the European Union.
The Council simply expressed its "grave concern" and generally weakened the strong message the British wanted. Perhaps memories on the Council of the invasion of Iraq (without which the naval party would not of course have been there) played a part here.
The EU did "deplore" the capture and threatened unspecified "measures" if there was no early release.
However, Britain is refusing to apologise."
