...government's response to Madrid's March 11 terrorist attacks, in which 191 people died, continues to turn up indications that while still in power, Aznar's government blamed eta for the attacks, even though the evidence pointed to al-Qaeda. Last week, Civil Guard General José Manuel García Varela told the panel that at 2 p.m. on March 13, then Interior Minister Angel Acebes was told of the imminent arrest of Moroccan and Indian suspects, yet later that day Acebes said publicly that eta was still the main focus of the investigation. Spaniards were also surprised...
...renegade killer femmes do fantastic battle with the 9th century cops who pursue and fall in love with them. The Almodóvar and Zhang films foregrounded a crucial movie element often lost in Cannes' ponderous auteur gazing: star quality. Bad Education's lead actor is Mexico's Gael García Bernal, who rocketed to international celebrity in Y Tu Mamá También, and who plays the young Ernesto Guevara, pre-Che, in Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries.

The region's new films "frame societies in the making ? based on our point of view," says Central Station director Walter Salles, who just finished directing Mexico's new heartthrob, Gael García Bernal, in a film version of Che Guevara's The Motorcycle Diaries. That means less predictable storytelling. Even though Carrera's Crime of Father Amaro is a well-worn story of clerical lust and hypocrisy, its moral center is as inscrutable as Mexico itself. We hope the young...
...police surveillance. Spanish Interior Ministry officials said the couple were carrying arms in their car. Múgica and Olarra are accused of numerous attacks and killings in Spain. Olarra is thought to have become ETA's military leader after the arrest in France of his predecessor, Francisco Javier García Gaztelu, in February last year. C.I.S. Wasted Time AIDS is spreading faster in the countries of the former Soviet Union than anywhere else, and time has been lost in combatting the disease because the magnitude of the epidemic was underestimated, according to a U.N. report.
