...that would wreck Olmert's plans to unilaterally redraw boundaries between Israel and the Palestinians on terms most favorable to Israel. Better to allow Palestinian infighting that will likely destroy any chance of creating a coherent Palestinian response to Olmert's plans. Then again, even if Israel doesn't bomb the PA, its economic stranglehold might still result in the collapse of the PA, which is exactly what Israel wants to avoid...
CHARGED. JAMAL ZOUGAM, 32, along with five other conspirators, with the murder of 191 people in the Madrid train bombings of March 2004; in Madrid. The Moroccan-born merchant is alleged to have supplied the mobile phones used to detonate backpack bombs on four commuter trains in the Spanish capital. Zougam, who denies any involvement in the attacks, was also identified by four witnesses as having traveled on some of the trains shortly before the bomb blasts. Twenty-three other suspects have been charged with a range of crimes, from collaboration to handling explosives...
...Essay "Today Tehran, Tomorrow the World" [April 3], Charles Krauthammer stereotyped Iranians as followers of an "extreme and fanatical ideology" who would wield nuclear power recklessly. He argued that while good sense has kept other nations from using the atom bomb, Iran, "undeterred by the usual calculations of prudence and self-preservation," can't be trusted to respond that way.

But the car, a VW Polo, is too sturdy--it contains the blast, killing the terrorist but saving the café. Shot on a shoestring budget, the clip is shocking, tasteless, stunningly effective--and totally unauthorized. When it leaked onto the Net (it had been hidden...
When do we think Iran could have the Bomb, and do we know where they're building it? The assessment has been somewhere at the beginning of the next decade, between 2010 [and] 2015. This remains the assessment. Intelligence that was obtained from Iran showed that they may have been trying to conceptualize how to adapt one of their missiles to a nuclear weapon. It is cause for concern. Certainly, we know where the key installations are, the ones that have been monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency--Isfahan and Natanz. Are there others that we're not aware...
