...nickname it earned him, "The Sheriff," has stuck.) He was known as a hands-on investigator who would literally picked through wreckage of a downed airliner, or rent a boat to enter Libya to investigate the agents he accused of blowing it up. And in 1996, Bruguiere arranged the arrest and extradition of notorious terrorist "Carlos the Jackal" - author of a number of bombings in Paris in the 1980s - from Sudan, spirited away after he'd been sedated to undergo surgery on a varicose vein on his scrotum...
...Bruguiere's team relied on what were then frequently decried anti-terrorism laws that allowed the arrest, interrogation, and detention of large numbers of suspects for 72 hours prior to charges being filed. Attendant laws also allowed for the more aggressive pursuit of activities such as forging identity papers, illegal fundraising and people smuggling - apparently unrelated to violent activity, yet essential logistical support for terror networks.

That's the equivalent of building a really deep castle moat and waiting for the invaders to arrive. "Unless you can arrest [terrorists] before they get to execution stage, your chances of averting bloodshed and death come down to luck," says a French former counterterrorism official...
...Last year the government committed $NZ10 million over four years for youth workers and services for high-risk youth. Police set up six-man "youth action teams" who speed to outbreaks of gang violence and arrest troublemakers. The aim is to get the youngsters charged with breaches of the peace with bail conditions that will take them off the streets at night. Says Inspector Jason Hewett, the policing development manager: "The goal is for zero tolerance." He is confident authorities are already having some success. "I'm being careful here-and homicides could happen in 30 minutes-but there have...
