China, Pak missiles challenge India -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NDTV Correspondent Sunday, July 9, 2006 (New Delhi): India faces a missile threat from Pakistan on the West and China to the North East. The Pakistani missile programme is a fascinating example of blatant missile proliferation from North Korea and China. Pakistan's nuclear capable missiles have the names of Muslim leaders who invaded India but are in fact, little more than direct imports from Beijing and Pyong Yang. The Shaheen Missile sometimes referred to as the Hatf 3 is in fact the Chinese M-11 missile with a range of 300 kilometres. The Shaheen I...

In the immediate aftermath of the March 11 train bombings in Madrid a backpack was found. Inside the backpack was found an unexploded bomb. That backpack bomb was important in helping to link the Madrid bombings to al Qaeda, and subsequent arrests. Perhaps not surprisingly some people hint the backpack could have been planted.

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Spanish police have arrested a Saudi citizen, an Egyptian and a Moroccan in connection with the March 11 rail bombings, but six others were released after questioning, a court official said Friday. The three were arrested Thursday in Madrid, the official said. They were being held in solitary confinement at a police headquarters on Madrid's outskirts pending charges and would probably be brought before the National Court in the next few days. Earlier, the investigative magistrate handling the case, Judge Juan del Olmo, freed six suspects over the past week. The judge ruled there was insufficient...

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Socialist Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero won parliamentary approval Friday as Spain's prime minister, stepping forward to govern a nation shocked by a terrorist bombing and al-Qaida threats of more bloodshed. A total of 183 lawmakers in the 350-seat Congress of Deputies voted in favor of Zapatero, who guided his party to a surprise win in last month's general election -- a vote overshadowed by the Madrid rail bombings of March 11. In a break with the policies of his conservative predecessor, Zapatero has pledged to pull Spanish troops out of Iraq if the United Nations does...

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Spanish police believe a top al-Qaida operative in Europe put two key suspects in the Madrid bombings in contact with one another, a newspaper reported Friday. Serhane Ben Abdelmajid Fakhet of Tunisia, the alleged coordinator of the attacks, is believed to have met with al-Qaida operative Amer Azizi in Turkey in late 2002 or early 2003 to ask for fighters for an attack in Madrid, the daily El Mundo said. Azizi, a Moroccan who remains at large, was indicted on terrorism charges last September by Judge Baltasar Garzon as part of his probe into an al-Qaida...

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Thailand's embassy in Sweden has received a letter threatening the Southeast Asian country with attacks like those on Spain in retaliation for sending troops to Iraq, Thai and Swedish officials said on Wednesday. "Since Thailand has cooperated with U.S.A., the Satan's states, and have interfered in the concern of Iraq by sending 443 Thai soldiers to the occupied land, we have our duty to inform you that Thailand is one of our targets after Spain," reads the letter, in ungrammatical English and dated March 31. The Swedish Foreign Ministry confirmed the text of the letter, which concludes...

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- The suspected terrorists who died in last weekend's suicide blast had planned another major attack in Madrid, possibly during this week's Easter celebrations, a court official said Wednesday. Police also fear Saturday's explosion that may have killed seven suspects and the subsequent arrests of other suspects could stir another cell of militants to mount a 'jihad,' or holy war, in Spain, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. A Spanish judge, meanwhile, jailed two more suspects on terrorism charges, a court official said. Seventeen persons are now charged and in jail in the case....

MADRID, Spain - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian linked to al-Qaida and suspected of heading a terrorist network in Iraq, is now believed to have been the brains behind the deadly Madrid railway attacks, a French private investigator told The Associated Press on Friday. Investigator Jean-Charles Brisard said Spanish officials told him some suspects held in the March 11 attacks were in contact with al-Zarqawi as recently as a month or two before the bombings, which killed 190 people and wounded more than 1,800. "They believe today he was the mastermind," Brisard, who is probing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks...

<p>MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Defiant despite a crushing election defeat, outgoing Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar said Monday he does not regret supporting the war in Iraq and criticized his successor's plan to withdraw Spanish troops.</p>
<p>Aznar's remarks were his first in public since the March 14 general election in which his conservative Popular Party crashed to surprise defeat amid charges that he had provoked the Madrid rail bombings three days earlier by backing the war. The attack killed 202 people and wounded more than 1,800.</p>

Washington -- MEASURED by the immediacy and importance of their political effect, the train bombs in Madrid were the most efficient explosions in the history of terrorism. Detonated 74 hours before polls opened in a national election, the reverberations toppled a U.S. ally. Seven decades ago, Spain became a cockpit for the 20th century's contending totalitarianisms -- fascism and communism. Its 1936-39 civil war, a witches' brew of political and religious passions, was exceptionally savage, even for a civil war. Last Thursday, this century's passions exploded in Spain. Perhaps Sunday's election, which removed the leadership that took Spain into the...

Small Jet Crashes On M11 One person was killed when a two-seater aircraft slid on to a motorway after its brakes failed on landing. The privately-owned L39 jet failed to stop on the runway at Duxford Airfield and careered on to the M11 motorway, Cambridgeshire police said. Amazingly there were no vehicles on that stretch of motorway at the time. The motorway was closed in both directions between junctions 9 and 10. There are reports of delays, although the traffic is lighter than usual due the jubilee bank holiday weekend, said the AA. Cambridgeshire Ambulance Service believes that as well...
