SHOTLIST Washington, DC 1. US President George W Bush walks into East Room of the White House 2. Wide of Bush at podium 3. SOUNDBITE (English) US President George W. Bush: "It is a rare occasion when a President can sign a bill he knows will save American lives. I have that privilege this morning. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 is one of the most important pieces of legislation in the war on terror." 4. Cutaway of General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, pull out to wide of Bush at podium 5. SOUNDBITE (English) US President George W. Bush: "When I sign this bill into law, we will use these commissions to bring justice to the men believed to have planned the attacks of September the 11th, 2001. We'll also seek to prosecute those believed responsible for the attack on the USS Cole, which killed 17 American sailors six years ago last week." 6. Cut away of officials STORYLINE President George W. Bush signed legislation on Tuesday authorising tough interrogation of terror suspects and smoothing the way for trials before military commissions, calling it a "vital tool" in the war against terrorism. Bush's plan for treatment of the terror suspects became law just six weeks after he acknowledged that the CIA had been secretly interrogating suspected terrorists overseas and pressed Congress to quickly give authority to try them in military commissions. Speaking from the White House East Room, Bush said the bill he signed today will help bring to justice the men believed to be responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Among those the United States hopes to try are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of those attacks; as well as Ramzi Binalshibh, an alleged would-be 9/11 hijacker; and Abu Zubaydah, who was believed to be a link between Osama bin Laden and many al-Qaida cells. Bush said it's "a rare occasion when a president can sign a bill that he knows will save American lives." But he said he had that privilege with this bill's signing. The president said he signed the legislation in memory of the victims of the September 11 attacks. He said the United States "will answer brutal murder with patient justice," and added, "those who kill the innocent will be held to account." Among those in the audience were military officers, lawmakers who helped pass the bill and members of Bush's Cabinet. He singled out for praise, among others, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has come under sharp criticism in recent months as violence has soared in Iraq. The law protects detainees from blatant abuses during questioning - such as rape, torture and "cruel and inhuman" treatment - but does not require that any of them be granted legal counsel. Also, it specifically bars detainees from filing habeas corpus petitions challenging their detentions in federal courts. Many Democrats opposed the legislation because they said it eliminated rights of defendants considered fundamental to American values, such as a person's ability to go to court to protest their detention and the use of coerced testimony as evidence. The American Civil Liberties Union said the new law is "one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted in American history." Bush acknowledged that the law came amid dispute. But he said, the process is "fair, lawful and necessary." Outside the White House, a coalition of religious groups staged a protest against the bill, shouting "Bush is the terrorist" and "Torture is a crime." About 15 of the protesters, standing in a light rain, refused orders to move. Police then arrested them one by one. The Bush administration needed the legislation because the Supreme Court in June said the administration's plan for trying detainees in military tribunals violated US and international law. The legislation, which sets the rules for court proceedings, applies to those selected by the military for prosecution and leaves mostly unaffected the majority of the 14-thousand prisoners in US custody, most of whom are in Iraq.

Location : Egypt - Greek tourists killed in gun attack Source: LC180496 Duration: 01:38 Location : Russia - Explosion on Moscow underground train Source: LC120696 Duration: 01:27
Eng/Indonesian Police in the Indonesian capital Jakarta said on Wednesday that at least 23 people were injured and one person was killed when a car bomb ripped through an underground garage in the Jakarta Stock Exchange building. The explosion happened 45 minutes before the business day ended. The underground parking lot was packed with hundreds of cars and dozens of drivers waiting for their stockbrokers and other executives to finish work. The bourse closed at its lowest point this year as more than 1,000 workers were hastily evacuated from the office block in the capital's downtown after the explosion. Dozens of firefighters doused the underground flames as smoke billowed from the basement. Several hours after the blast, they brought out the body of a man on a stretcher. Firefighters said most of the smoke came from dozens of burning vehicles. They said the fuel tanks of several cars had exploded inside the garage. There were fears for the safety of an undetermined number of people trapped in the basement. Search and rescue coordinator Boedel said attempts to reach those trapped had been hampered by thick and acrid smoke. The building is on the capital's main downtown avenue, and the mayhem brought afternoon traffic in downtown Jakarta to a standstill. Police said they had ordered the stock exchange to suspend operations for the rest of the week while they investigate the incident. This bombing forms part of a series of unexplained bomb blasts which have rocked Indonesia in recent weeks, in Jakarta and other major cities. Some suggest the bombings are the work of those trying to disrupt the ongoing trial of former President Suharto on massive corruption charges. SOUNDBITE: (INDONESIAN) "The explosion, it was like ... boom! (Q; Where were you?) I was in the basement of the office. (Q: So bomb was in the basement?) "I don't know if it was a bomb or not. There was just a sudden explosion. Boom!" SUPER CAPTION: Bambang, Blast survivor SOUNDBITE: (ENGLISH) "Just one loud blast. We were on the 15th floor and there was an alarm and they evacuated the building. It was about 3.30." SUPER CAPTION: Paul Adams, Eye-Witness SOUNDBITE: (INDONESIAN) "If you think there's a connection with what happened two weeks ago it is possible.

Over the shoulder of Talib with gun on his arm, at Taliban checkpoint STORYLINE: Islamist militants said on Friday they had freed 48 government troops after they surrendered during bloody fighting in northwestern Pakistan, a region increasingly falling under the control of extremists who are challenging Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf. The army has been struggling to quell spiralling violence in Swat district, where a cleric is trying to enforce Taliban-style rule, and was pounding rebel fighters with helicopter gunships and mortars on Thursday, reportedly killing up to 70. But that death toll was exaggerated, according to the militants, who pointed to their own successes on Friday. The militants, masked and armed with AK-47 assault rifles and long knives, escorted journalists to a two-storey concrete building in the town of Charabagh to show off 48 men they said had surrendered during the fighting. Most were described as paramilitary troops from the Frontier Corps, and were later freed. Authorities denied any surrenders on Thursday, and army and government spokesmen were not responding to calls seeking comment on Friday. Government officials say militants account for most of 180 people killed in fighting around Swat since 2,500 militiamen from the region's paramilitary Frontier Constabulary deployed last week to tackle the followers of cleric Maulana Fazlullah. The casualty figures are difficult to verify in the volatile, mountainous region. Fazlullah's spokesman, Sirajuddin, who goes by one name, said the 48 troop captives had been freed and were going to their homes. He claimed 100 more security forces had surrendered elsewhere in Swat. Those held in Charabagh said they did not want to fight other Muslims and fellow Pashtun tribesmen. "We were not there because of some personal enmity. They are our Muslim brothers," one of the soldiers, who did not give his name, told AP Television. The soldiers told reporters they were collectively resigning from their jobs. Such surrenders would be deeply embarrassing to Musharraf, whose US-supported strategy to curb militants in the frontier region centres on boosting locally recruited paramilitary forces. Militants in the South Waziristan tribal region are still holding more than 230 soldiers kidnapped two months ago. Mohammed Hanif, an aide of Fazlullah, said militants had also captured two foreign men but had yet to decide what to do with them. He had no details about their nationality or occupation. Local media reports have suggested they are journalists. The clashes and a string of suicide bombings have rocked Pakistan in recent weeks, deepening unease ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on the validity of Musharraf's October 6 presidential victory. There are fears Musharraf could impose a state of emergency or martial law if judges rule against another five-year term for him, jeopardising the country's transition to civilian rule and perhaps worsening instability as the government confronts the Islamist militants. Musharraf, a key US ally in its fight against terrorism, is under pressure from Washington to crack down on pro-Taliban and al-Qaida fighters near the Afghan border. Violence in Swat, a rugged region about 130 kilometres (80 miles) northwest of the capital, Islamabad, underlines the expansion of Islamist movements in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border, who are challenging Musharraf's control.

Wide of destruction STORYLINE Three Islamic militants were executed late on Saturday for helping plan and carry out the 2002 Bali bombings that left 202 people dead, many of them foreign tourists, lawyers and relatives said. Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim, and Ali Ghufron were executed just before midnight several miles (kilometres) from their high security prison on Nusakambangan island, said one of their attorneys. Their bodies will be taken by helicopter to their home villages for burial, he said. A spokesman for the Attorney Generals office confirmed the execution. The October 12, 2002 attacks - allegedly funded by al-Qaida and carried out by members of the Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah - thrust Indonesia onto the front lines of the so-called "war on terror". One suicide bomber walked into Paddy's nightclub on a busy Saturday night, setting off a bomb attached to his vest. Minutes later, a larger car bomb exploded outside the nearby Sari Club. The victims - most of whom were revellers fleeing the first blast - included 88 Australians, 28 Britons and eight Americans. Samudra, Nurhasyim and Ghufron confessed to helping plan and carry out the attacks, but never expressed remorse, even taunting relatives of victims at their trial. They said the bombings were meant to avenge Muslims killed in US-led wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere and publicly expressed hope their own deaths would trigger revenge attacks in the world's most populous Muslim nation. As a result, the Indonesian capital has been on high alert, with extra police deployed at embassies, shopping malls and offices, but most analysts expect any reaction to be small and limited to demonstrations, bomb hoaxes and shows of solidarity at the mens' funerals. Though the three Bali bombers said they were happy to die martyrs, their lawyers fought for years to stop their executions, arguing they were convicted retroactively on anti-terrorism laws. They also opposed death by firing squad.

The injured people were taken to a nearby local hospital for treatment. The blast tore through the minibus, which was ferrying passengers from Karradah to another square in Baghdad. AP Television News footage showed a damaged white and blue minibus with blood spots in and outside it. US and Iraqi troops immediately sealed off the area where the blast happened. Police said three nearby cars and several stores also were damaged in the blast. Earlier on Monday two bombs exploded within minutes of each other in another Shiite area of Zafaraniyah in southeastern Baghdad, killing three civilians and wounding 11 others, according to police. And in a separate incident, police also announced that gunmen killed Ahmed al-Mashhadani, an adviser to the leader of the largest Sunni Arab bloc in parliament, Adnan al-Dulaimi. The adviser was shot to death on Thursday by gunmen in two cars as he left a bus station after dropping off relatives. Police initially said he was killed on Sunday, but al-Mashhadani's party, the hardline Congress of the People of Iraq, issued a statement saying he was killed on Thursday and his body was handed over by the hospital on Sunday. keyword - terrorism keyword - terrorism

Pull out from workers on crane to wide of scene STORYLINE A car bomb exploded near Madrid's convention centre and injured at least 42 people on Wednesday, following a telephone warning from a caller claiming to represent the armed Basque separatist group ETA, officials said. The bomb exploded shortly after 9:30 a.m. (0830GMT) near Ifema, a large convention centre where King Juan Carlos was scheduled to inaugurate a major art show late on Wednesday. President Vicente Fox of Mexico was expected to accompany the King at the inauguration. The Royal Palace said the ceremony would go ahead. The telephone warning was received by the Basque newspaper Gara, which often serves as a mouthpiece for ETA. The bomb went off at a spot down the street from the building where the caller had said it would explode, officials said. The blast was the worst in Spain's capital since the train bombings of last March 11, in which killed 191 people and were claimed by militants who said they acted on behalf of al-Qaida. Speaking in Brussels, Miguel Angel Moratinos, the Spanish foreign minister, said international unity was the best way to fight terrorism. Wednesday's explosion occurred outside a building housing the French computer manufacturer Bull. It sent up a huge plume of white smoke, shattering thick panes of glass in that and others buildings and damaging parked cars. Forty-two people suffered bruises, cuts from flying glass and damaged eardrums, but a spokesman for the Madrid emergency medical service said no one was seriously hurt. Early estimates indicated the car bomb contained 20-30 kilograms (44-66 pounds) of explosives, said Spain's Interior Minister Jose Antonio Alonso. He also acknowledged that ETA still had "operative capability," despite the arrests of more than 200 suspected members over the past two years. The explosion occurred just hours after another 14 suspected ETA members were arrested across Spain, and a week after Spain's Parliament rejected a plan to give the region autonomy bordering on independence. The group is blamed for more than 800 deaths since the late 1960s in a campaign of bombings and shootings aimed at creating an independent Basque homeland in land straddling northern Spain and southwest France.
