There is no country, not even Singapore, where crime has been entirely eliminated. It does appear that the bombers in Madrid have been caught and their leader identified, without killing a lot more civilians. Compare that to the attempts to take on Al Qaeda from 50,000 feet. telegraph.co.uk <font color=brown>To prevent another attack, the Moroccan police have gone on the offensive. Plainclothes agents patrol the streets of the mud-brick and corrugated-iron dwellings, questioning strangers. "It's for your security that we know who is visiting here," Hadir Haboub, a police detective, said. "The people who came here recruiting could come back, and they have supporters here. We need to be vigilant."</font> What would you have the Spanish do? Bomb Grenada out of frustration?" TP

TP, This is going to take some old fashioned gum-shoe work, not top-gun work. OK, gum shoe, how would that have prevented the bombings in Madrid? Spain did do the "gum shoe" work. How do you think these guys got rounded up so quickly? Don't your remember how long it took to figure out who the 9/11 guys were? Spain had done the work but they underestimated the importance in the terrorist network of the guys they were tracking. France warned them but the Aznar regime thought they knew better. Our intel should be half as good as Spain's and Germany's........maybe even France's. We are too intellectually lazy to use your words. ted

Mar. 22, 2004. 12:46 PM Hezbollah shells Israelis in disputed area ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Hezbollah guerrillas shelled Israeli positions in a disputed border area today for the first time in five months, triggering an Israeli air strike and artillery fire, Lebanese security officials said. The attack by the Lebanese guerrilla group occurred hours after Israel assassinated the spiritual leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The killing was widely condemned in the Arab world. Lebanese officials said Hezbollah forces fired rockets and mortar shells at the Israeli military outposts of Roueissat el-Alam, al-Samaka and Ramtha inside the disputed Chebaa Farms area. Hezbollah's Al Manar television said Hezbollah fighters attacked "the Zionist occupation positions in the occupied Lebanese Chebaa Farms." It gave no further details. Israel responded to the attack with an air strike and artillery fire, targeting suspected guerrilla hideouts near villages close to the Israeli-occupied Chebaa Farms, the officials said on condition of anonymity. Two Israeli warplanes fired two missiles into valleys and mountainous areas near the villages of Kfar Chouba and Hilta, they said. There was no word on possible Lebanese casualties. Israel said no one was hurt in the the Hezbollah attack. thestar.com
