...fact that Spain still holds two enclaves on the north African coast, Ceuta and Melilla. So if Gibraltar is inextricably part of Spain, as Madrid claims, how come Ceuta and Melilla - and little Perejil - are not inextricably part of Morocco? Maybe their next idea will be that Rabat and Madrid should have co-sovereignty over Perejil. That would certainly be easier to organize than for Gibraltar: only animals live on Perejil, and goats don't vote, or at least not the four-legged kind. When the Saharawi kids come to Spain on holidays they get wide-eyed at the sight...
...crimes during the Kosovo war, in the first trial of its kind held in Serbia since President Slobodan Milosevic's ouster; in Prokuplje, Serbia.

All their communications with...

Sources say that U.S. and British forces captured 17 Moroccan members of al Qaeda and sent them to Guantanamo. Under interrogation, sources tell TIME, some of the Moroccans fingered a Saudi they knew only as Zuher. They said that he had recruited many of them to join Al Qaeda and believed that he had headed back to Morocco. An even better clue came when at least one of the detainees recalled the family name of the Moroccan wife who had perished in Tora...
...Rabat, 25 miles from Kabul By the standards of this soporific war, the front line at Rabat was quite lively this week. A rocket exploded in front of the trenches as we approached, sending up an impressive cloud of gray dust, and a few bullets from a Taliban position 500 or so meters away whistled lazily through the air. The Taliban do this about 5:30 every evening, a local commander said...
