...Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said Rabat had agreed to forcibly repatriate some of the immigrants currently in Melilla. Critics of the new accord say foisting the problem on Morocco is no solution. "They're driving them in buses to the Algerian desert with no water or food," claims Pepe Alonso, a Melilla lawyer who heads the local chapter of the Association for Human Rights. "This will cause many deaths." Médecins Sans Frontières said more than 500 immigrants had been abandoned by Moroccan authorities in the desert near the Algerian border. Neither the new measures...

The coordinated operations don't necessarily mean ETA is back at full strength. Spain's Interior Minister José Antonio Alonso said ETA probably used two separate itinerant "commandos" to plant the devices, and "they wouldn't need a great infrastructure to carry out acts of this kind." But ETA's reign of terror has undermined its appeal in the Basque Country; Batasuna's ranks were dwindling even before...
