...catch a fugitive leader of the Basque terrorist group ETA? Have someone lead you to him. At least that appears to be how French police, working with the Spanish Civil Guard, captured Francisco Javier Lopez Pena and three other alleged members of the separatist terror organization on May 20. According to reports in the Spanish media (which the Interior Ministry will neither confirm nor deny), police followed Jose Antonio Barandiaran, former mayor of the Basque town of Andoain, to a meeting he held with Lopez in France on May 18th.

So Tyson can't help but hit Toback's sweet spot: the fighter is smart, reflective and scary, even as he reminisces about his time in the ring.

...Congress debates the best way to fix the problem, Mexico is fast spiraling in the direction of the narco-terror that gripped Colombia in the 1980s and the early 1990s. Mexico's cartels, including the Sinaloa gang's main rival, the Gulf Cartel, have in recent years raised the scale of the bloodletting by introducing such weapons as grenades, AK-47 assault rifles and bazookas, as well as ghastly methods like mass beheadings...
