DJ Morocco Arrests 3 Saudis; Plot To Attack US, UK Warships

RABAT, Morocco (AP)--Moroccan police have dismantled a terrorist cell, arresting three Saudi nationals who allegedly planned attacks on U.S. and U.K. warships, key government officials said Monday.

The three men, with links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, were planning suicide operations against U.S. and U.K. warships patrolling the Strait of Gilbraltar, the Moroccan officials said on condition of anonymity.

The names of the suspects, who were arrested in May, weren't released.

The arrests were made with the help of intelligence services of "several friendly countries," one of the officials told The Associated Press.

It is the first such terrorist crackdown in Morocco since the U.S. and its allies launched a military campaign in Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaida.

In October 2000, two suicide bombers in a small dingy rammed the USS Cole destroyer in a port in Yemen, blasting a hole in its side, killing 17 sailors.

The U.S. blames bin Laden's al-Qaida network for that attack and the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Five Bodies Found in Arizona Coal Shipment

Five Mexican nationals were found dead Wednesday after a railroad coal car released its cargo at a power plant in southeastern Arizona, authorities said.

Officials with the Cochise County Sheriff's Department said the men appeared to have stowed away in the car.

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe train originated from a mine in Lee Ranch, N.M., on Tuesday and made a stop in Deming, N.M., before heading to its Willcox destination.

Deming is about 35 miles north of the Mexican border.

Three of the men were residents of Hidalgo del Parral, a small town in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, said Miguel Escobar Valdez, Mexican consul in Douglas.

He identified them as Carmelo Monarrez Ramirez, about 39, and two brothers, Roman Jimenez Martinez, about 27, and Ruben Jimenez Martinez, about 30.

He said the men apparently asphyxiated in the coal.

Authorities were not sure if the victims were illegal immigrants.

Officials at the county Medical Examiner's office were conducting autopsies to determine how the men died.

A worker discovered the bodies at the Arizona Electric Power Cooperative after the car dumped its 100-ton coal shipment onto a conveyor belt about 2:15 a.m., said sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas.

Workers at the plant did a routine visual inspection of the shipment when it arrived but didn't see the men, according to Capas.
