Germany has told the United States it will withhold evidence against Sept. 11 conspiracy defendant Zacarias Moussaoui unless it receives assurances that the material won't be used to secure a death penalty against him, Germany's justice minister said in remarks released Saturday.

That's it. Colonize Germany already!

It seems those tender-hearted Germans went to great pains to protect the mother of all flybait:

It was reported from Paris that Saddam has a vast subterranean bomb shelter, a nuclear-proof "minicity", where he could hide for months from a US attack with no outside help, said Iraqi exiles.

They said Saddam had always been fascinated with underground shelters, and that the weapons of mass destruction currently the object of UN weapons inspectors were undoubtedly hidden beneath ground.

The sources said the sonar scanners used by UN weapons inspectors in 1993 to locate Saddam's weapons had found nothing because the weapons were buried too deep.

They said that although German engineers had designed Saddam's underground bomb shelter, it had been built exclusively by Iraqis to keep the exact location a secret.

The fate of the builders remains uncertain, they said.

The exiles described the shelter as a veritable palace, equipped to withstand nuclear attack, in which Saddam and his immediate family could live in total comfort for months with even a gymnasium, sauna, patio and artificial plants to provide the illusion of a garden.

The shelter is powered by its own underground electricity generating plant and equipped with a sophisticated telephone system. The system was so vast that it had electric cars. -- Sapa-AFP
