Spain detains 16 terror suspects Police arrested suspects in raids across Spain Spanish police have arrested 16 people suspected of having links to Islamic terror groups. Five of the suspects were held for alleged involvement in the Madrid train bombings of March 2004. The other 11 men are thought to have links to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant spearheading the insurgency in Iraq. Some 500 police took part in raids in Madrid and a number of regions across Spain, the interior ministry said. No weapons or explosives have been reported found. Interior Minister Jose Antonio Alonso said police suspected the men of "raising funds and recruiting people in order to carry out activities abroad related to the international jihad", or holy war. Ongoing arrests A series of co-ordinated bombs attacks on trains in Madrid on 11 March last year killed 191 people and sparked a wave of police raids on suspected militants. Dozens have been arrested and several have already faced trial. Twenty-four men charged with terror offences recently appeared in court, three of them accused of involvement in planning the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US. The BBC's Katya Adler says interior ministry sources say one Madrid train bombing suspect who escaped police is believed to have carried out a suicide attack in Iraq last month. Wednesday's police raids were ordered by two judges at Spain's National Court, the Madrid-based tribunal where terror suspects are tried. Besides Madrid, arrests were made in the north-eastern region of Catalonia, Andalucia in southern Spain, Levante in the east, and Ceuta, Spanish territory on the northern Moroccan coast. news.bbc.co.uk

Can you name one thing that Bush has said that actually turned out to be true? It's not hate America. No one hates America worse than those that have to lie to subvert the constitution. Impeachment...it's very American. Orca

Police seize attackers in Cambodia school siege Canadian toddler killed in standoff; other hostages freed Pornchai Kittiwongsakul / AFP-Getty Images msnbc.msn.com MSNBC News Services Updated: 8:33 a.m. ET June 16, 2005PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - One child was killed Thursday during a standoff with hostage-takers at an international school in northwestern Cambodia before authorities freed the dozens of other hostages and arrested the gunmen, police said. Four masked gunmen stormed the Siem Reap International School, seizing dozens of young children from several countries and demanding money, weapons and a vehicle before police ended the standoff, with witnesses reporting shots fired. Authorities said a 3-year-old Canadian boy was killed before the standoff ended. Amid conflicting reports on the circumstances of the child's death, The Associated Press, quoting Cambodia's information minister, said gunmen killed the child when authorities declined to meet all of their demands, and police then raided the building. “They also threatened to kill the children one by one. Then our forces decided to storm the school,” Khieu Kanharith said, quoting the deputy national police chief, Neth Savoeun. Canadian Embassy officials could not immediately confirm the child's death. Earlier, authorities had said that the toddler killed was a girl. “Four hostage-takers have been arrested. There are only four of them,” Deputy Military Police Commander Prak Chanthoeum told AP after the hostage crisis was over. Police earlier had said there were six attackers. In a conflicting report, Reuters said that two of the hostage-takers had been killed. The hostage crisis unfolded at Cambodia's tourism hub of Siem Reap, near its famed Angkor temples and home to many expatriates, and quickly drew concern from governments around the region amid reports of up to 15 nationalities among the hostages, including Japanese, Australian and American. The attackers' motives were not immediately clear.
