...they're not like their predecessors. - By Susan Jakes/Beijing Bombs Away FRANCE Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes said the arrest by French police of three men suspected of belonging to the Basque terrorist group ETA had destroyed the "logistical nucleus of ETA in France." The two Spaniards, José Candido Sagarzazu and Juan Miguel Illarramendi, and Frenchman Claude Recart were captured when French antiterrorist officers raided their house in Cahors. Police also discovered 448 kg of explosives and a number of firearms. Not So Immune, After All ITALY Two of the four parties in Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's ruling...
That's true. Candido and his pregnant 17-year-old wife, decent folk down on their luck, huddle in a makeshift camp in the canyon and climb out every morning to find work at a labor exchange.

In February Kenneth Kovzelove, 18, was sentenced to 50-years-to-life imprisonment in the shooting deaths of two field hands. He matter-of-factly admitted killing them simply because they were Mexican...
Coup plotters have taken advantage of the resulting frustration among the younger officers to organize against Aquino. According to Candido Filio, a military analyst with the University of the Philippines, Gringo Honasan did not need support from the top brass to launch last week's coup attempt. "He has been working the line of company commanders," says Filio. As it turned out, at least two generals joined the rebellion...
