...results, though on Friday they asked a court to detain Svensson an additional week. Svensson's lawyer, Gunnar Falk, said his client "rejects any involvement in the case." In addition to past episodes of football hooliganism, Svensson was said to have neo-Nazi sympathies. "The man mixes with right extremist circles and is also a friend of some of Sweden's most notorious neo-Nazis," reported the daily Aftonbladet. Daniel Poohl, who works for the Expo foundation, which monitors right-wing extremism in Sweden, told TIME that Svensson was not a leading figure in the far right and probably lived...
...intellectual background," the official says. But the radical right is increasingly forming loose, cell-like structures, following a strategy popularized by the British neo-Nazi organization Combat 18, which promotes "leaderless resistance" through a decentralized network of activists.

When Joe Lieberman attacked this new position in last week's debate, Dean modified it again, saying he would accept international standards, which are weaker than American ones. Most of Dean's rivals seem to be wandering down the same path. (John Kerry, a career free trader, is suddenly open to renegotiating...
...Indian police, who identified the victim only by his first name, Nasir, say he's the founder of the Gujarat Muslim Revenge Force, an extremist group started after Hindus killed some 2,000 Muslims in western India last year. Police blame the group for two bombings in Bombay last month in which 58 people died, along with a bus bomb in July and a train explosion in March that claimed a total of 15 lives. Intelligence officers say Nasir was trained and indoctrinated by Muslim extremists in Dubai and Pakistan, and remained a linkman to Pakistani terrorists. Nasir's brief...
