Bombs discovered near NATO venue
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/EA8CAA67-13BF-4FE6-8892-65FD1432AE34.htm

Slovak police have found two bags filled with explosives near a NATO building a day before 300 officials are due to meet.

The half kilo of industrial explosive was found in the capital Bratislava on Thursday, next to a second container full of the Yugoslav explosive, Pentrix.

Detonators needed to ignite the compounds were also found in the bags, police said.

"The bags were found under a trash box," Interior Ministry spokesman Boris Azaltovic told journalists, declining to speculate on a motive or who was responsible.

1. Whoa, this is some serious shit.
That would change the word's attention from Iraq. So is this Muslim terror? Russian terror? US terror? Chinese terror?

This world seems to be headed for a nervous breakdown....

2. BushCo plant. And BushCo tip-off. Designed to set the agenda.

And to keep the meeting short. No discourse, no questions & answer period, just a presentation from the BushCo mouthpiece.

If BushCo does this, they don't think of it as terror. They think of it as "taking the initiative".

Explosives found close to NATO venue in Slovakia

FOREIGN STAFF

TWO bags of explosives were found in the Slovak capital, Bratislava, yesterday near a venue where hundreds of NATO parliamentary officials are to meet today.

Bratislava has been on heightened alert ahead of the NATO parliamentary assembly’s five-day spring session, viewed as a celebration of Slovakia accession to the security organisation this year.
