Various of journalists and locals gathered in the street, media vehicle passing by STORYLINE Pakistani authorities have detained several people in connection with the bombing attempt in New York's Times Square, intelligence officials said on Tuesday. The arrests took place in Karachi, a teeming city on the Arabian sea in the south of Pakistan. One of those detained, identified as Tauseef, was a friend of the suspect Faisal Shahzad, said one official who, like all Pakistan intelligence officials, refused to be named in the media. Another official said several people had been taken into custody in Karachi since Saturday's failed attack. Some media reports described them as relatives of Shahzad. Neither official said when the detentions had taken place and both said no charges had been filed. Meanwhile, Pakistan's interior minister said initial information showed that the suspect detained in the US in the failed bombing came from a wealthy family in northwest Pakistan. Rehman Malik said the information suggested Shahzad and his family came from the Pabbi region of northwest Pakistan, but he added that the suspect also had a Karachi identity card. Malik condemned the attempted attack and pledged full "help and support" to the US in the investigation. Shahzad was arrested late Monday aboard a flight that was headed to the Middle East after allegedly trying to blow up a sport utility vehicle in Times Square on Saturday evening. In Pakistan, a man who said he was a cousin of Shahzad's father on Tuesday said the family had yet to be officially informed of his arrest. Kifyat Ali said Shahzad was the son of retired Air Vice Marshall Baharul Haq, a former top Pakistani air force officer and deputy director general of the civil aviation authority. Ali made his comments as he spoke with reporters outside a two-storey home in an upscale part of Peshawar believed to be owned by the family. He insisted that Shahzad "was never linked to any political or religious party" in Pakistan and added he had often stayed in Peshawar when he came back from the United States. AP Television had no means of independently verifying his claims.

Very lucky." 15. Various of empty departure hall STORYLINE All flights to and from Greece stopped at midnight on Wednesday (2100 GMT Tuesday), as part of a general strike against harsh economic austerity measures imposed by the government under an international bailout to save the country from looming bankruptcy. A few stranded passengers queued anxiously at the information desk inside a deserted Athens International Airport, while others slept on chairs inside the terminal. The strike will also halt rail and ferry transport and effectively shut down the country's public sector, as unions rally against the cuts. State employees, including school teachers and hospital workers, began the 48-hour strike on Tuesday, which led to several domestic flights by Greece's Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines being cancelled. There will be no news broadcasts on Wednesday, while shop owners have been called on to join the strike action. The new economic measures will cut deeper into pay for the country's estimated 750-thousand civil servants, reduce all pensions and further hike consumer taxes. The cutbacks were announced on Sunday, as a precondition for bailout loans from the International Monetary Fund and the other 15 European Union countries using the euro. The aid, spread over three years, is Greece's only hope of paying off 8.5 (b) billion euro (11 (b) billion US dollars) in debt that matures on May 19, or defaulting. A Greek default would be a serious blow to the shared euro currency and inflict losses on banks holding Greek bonds in France and Germany. The bailout is intended to reassure markets Greece will not default and thus prevent the debt crisis from spreading to other financially shaky countries such as Spain and Portugal.

Sood reading book in his home STORYLINE: Britain's main political parties crisscrossed the country to woo wavering voters on Tuesday, but they also courted each other as opinion polls indicated that the national election could produce no clear winner. Back room deals may ultimately decide who governs Britain if all three main parties are denied an outright majority, as expected, in Thursday's vote. Prime Minister Gordon Brown's governing Labour Party - set to lose power after 13 years in office - reached out to the Liberal Democrats, the perennially third-place party that has enjoyed an unlikely surge during the campaign. But Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, whose stellar TV debate performances have fuelled his party's surge, hinted he could strike an unexpected pact with Conservative Party leader David Cameron. Cameron, still hoping to win a slender majority or lead a minority administration, started off by leafleting in London on Tuesday morning before heading to Northern Ireland to seek support from the province's Democratic Unionists, who could deliver enough backing to let him form a government without a larger rival. Volcanic ash shut down Irish airspace on Tuesday morning, but he made the trip after a delay. The latest opinion polls indicated that Cameron's Conservatives were on course to win the largest share of the popular vote and the largest number of House of Commons seats - but not enough for a majority. Some polls have placed Labour in third place, behind Clegg's party. Brown acknowledged that if his party slumped during the election, he would take the blame - a comment interpreted as meaning he'd likely quit as party leader just three years after replacing Tony Blair in that role. In a surprising ploy, two Labour Cabinet ministers told supporters they may need to vote for Clegg's Liberal Democrats in some districts where Labour trails in order to deny Cameron's party an outright victory. Both Welsh Secretary Peter Hain and Education Secretary Ed Balls appealed to Liberal Democrats to support Labour candidates in districts where their party's candidate has little chance of success. "There is an anti-Conservative majority in this country but most of the seats that are up here and are in this area are a fight between the Labour Party and the Conservatives. A vote for the Liberals may allow the Conservatives to be elected," said Brown in a warning to those who may thinking about some form of tactical vote. Despite Labour's wooing of the Liberal Democrats, Clegg has declined to say which rival he would support if Britain's election creates the first hung Parliament since 1974. Although he is regarded as sharing more ground with Brown's Labour party, Clegg suggested he would back any partner who met his demands to reform Britain's political system, overhaul the economy and reduce taxes for lower-paid workers. "I really think it's a measure of the desperation of the Labour party that they're now trying to come up with 101 reasons why people should vote Labour even if they don't do it with any enthusiasm," Clegg told Britain's Sky News on Tuesday. Clegg has made moving to a proportional voting system - a policy opposed by Cameron - central to his campaign, but told the Financial Times it would not be a precondition for talks over a deal with a rival party. In a further blow to Labour's campaign a Labour Party candidate facing defeat in eastern England said Brown must go. "We're very close to a general election and never do you hear a prime minister increasing national insurance contributions. We're right near a general election and never do you hear a prime minister increasing petrol prices which are going up day by day by day. We're very close to a general election and never do you hear a prime minister increasing tax on employment income and on top of that offending the community and calling the woman a bigot which he did the day before yesterday," said Manish Sood said. Balls, who was with Brown in Leamington Spa on Tuesday, played down Sood's comments. "If you actually read the comments being put out at the moment by his local party I'm afraid that says rather more about Mr Sood than anything else," said Balls. "It doesn't sound like he's being the most supportive candidate for the rest of his colleagues. I don't think he's speaking for anybody but himself and I'm not even sure if he's making much sense doing that."

Alfredo Mart?nez de Hoz, the 84-year-old the former Minister of Economy during Argentina's military dictatorship, was arrested on Tuesday in Buenos Aires for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of a textile businessman and his son during the last Argentinean de-facto government. Mart?nez de Hoz was taken from his house in one of the most famous buildings in the Argentine capital and transported to a clinic because of the poor state of his health. Mart?nez de Hoz is accused of having participated in the abduction of Federico and Miguel Gutheim in November of 1976 and forcing them to sign commercial agreements with Hong Kong that were lucrative to people involved in the de-facto government. The former Economy Minister had been pardoned for the crime in 1990 thanks to a general amnesty given by Carlos Menem's government, but in 2006 the Argentinean Human Rights Secretary and numerous human rights organisations asked for the re-opening of the case. Mart?nez de Hoz comes from a wealthy Argentinean family and held the ministerial post from 1976 to 1981. The age limit for arrest was lifted in Argentina if the crime was committed during the dictatorship and can be considered a violation of human rights.

Wide of US Federal Court 13. Close up of policeman in front of court STORYLINE: A Pakistani-born US citizen was charged on Tuesday with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in the botched Times Square bombing. The government said he confessed to receiving explosives training in Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad - the son of a retired air force officer in a wealthy Pakistani family - was arrested Monday night after he was pulled off a plane that was about to fly to the Middle East. According to the complaint, Shahzad confessed to buying a sport utility vehicle, rigging it with a homemade bomb and driving it Saturday night into Times Square, where he tried to detonate it. In Pakistan, intelligence officials said several people had been detained in connection with the Times Square case. Shahzad admitted to receiving bomb-making training in Waziristan, the lawless tribal region where the Pakistani Taliban operates with near impunity, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court. The complaint said he returned from Pakistan in February, telling an immigration agent that he had been visiting his parents for five months and had left his wife behind. Shahzad was on board a Dubai-bound flight that was taxiing away from the gate at Kennedy Airport late Monday when the plane was turned around and federal authorities took him into custody, law enforcement officials said. Federal officials had placed him on a "no-fly" list hours before his arrest. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at Kennedy airport on Tuesday released an audio recording of a control tower operator instructing the pilot of Dubai-bound Emirates flight 202 to "go back to the gate immediately". The FBI read Shahzad his constitutional rights after he provided the information, and he continued to cooperate, FBI Deputy Director John Pistole said. US President Barack Obama said "hundreds of lives" may have been saved Saturday night by the quick action of ordinary citizens and law enforcement authorities who raised the alarm about the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder rigged with a crude bomb made of gasoline, propane and fireworks. The SUV, which had begun smoking, was parked on a bustling street in Times Square. Law enforcement officials allege Shahzad bought the Pathfinder from Peggy Colas, 19, of Bridgeport, after answering an internet advertisement. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case. The complaint said Shahzad apparently tinted the windows of the Pathfinder after buying it. The vehicle identification number had been removed from the Pathfinder's dashboard, but it was stamped on the engine, and investigators used it to find the owner of record, who told them a stranger bought it. Authorities removed filled plastic bags and a bomb squad came and went from a Bridgeport, Connecticut, house on Tuesday in a working-class neighbourhood of multifamily homes in Connecticut's largest city. FBI agents found a box of consumer-grade firecrackers and other fireworks in the driveway that they were marking off as evidence. Shahzad used to live in a two-story grayish-brown colonial with a sloping yard in a working-class neighbourhood in Shelton, Connecticut. The home looked as if it had been unoccupied for a while, with grass growing in the driveway and bags of rubbish lying about. Shahzad bought the home for 273,000 US dollars and lost it to foreclosure last year. A broker trying to sell the property said Shahzad said he owed too much on it and planned to return to Pakistan. Shahzad, 30, became a naturalised U.S. citizen last year shortly before travelling to Pakistan, where he had a wife, according to law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation. He graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a bachelor's degree in computer applications and information systems in 2000 and later returned to earn a master's in business administration in 2005, the school said.

They are trying to send a clear message to our people but our people know their way and they will not lose this way. If this daily terrorism is intended for our people to leave their land, our people will not leave their land." 15. Wide of Fayyad talking STORYLINE: The Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad condemned an alleged attack on a West Bank mosque on Tuesday just before US-brokered, indirect peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians were due to get underway. "If this daily terrorism is intended for our people to leave their land, our people will not leave their land," said Fayyad. A statement from the office of the Palestinian President said Mahmoud Abbas called the fire a "criminal" act that "represented a threat to the efforts to revive the peace process" because the Israeli army protects the settlers. The fire ripped through the mosque in the village of Luban a-Sharkiyeh early Tuesday, but by nightfall it was not clear whether it was arson, as Palestinians charged, or accidental, as Israeli media reported. The incident came as US mediator George Mitchell was working to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace contacts after a halt of more than a year. Mitchell is set to mediate indirect talks toward a peace accord. He plans to start his mission on Wednesday by meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The mosque fire destroyed holy books and prayer carpets. Although there were no witnesses, Jibril al-Bakri, the Palestinian governor of Nablus, said it was an act of arson. The mosque has been undergoing renovations, but village mayor Jamal Daraghmeh said there was no fire in the area where the work was taking place. He added that settlers attacked village property in the past. The Israeli military said it was working with Israeli police and Palestinian authorities to determine the cause of the blaze. Israeli media reported evidence of an electrical short circuit in the mosque that might have started the fire. Israeli police said evidence was transferred to its forensics unit. Also on Tuesday, residents of the nearby village of Hawara said they saw settlers set fire to an olive grove close to the Jewish settlement of Bracha. The fire there destroyed about 50 trees before Israeli soldiers extinguished the flames. The military said it did not know how the fire broke out. Both Hawara and Luban a-Sharkiyeh, located near the town of Nablus, are ringed by settlements. Palestinians see the more than 120 Israeli settlements dotting the West Bank as an obstacle to their goal of a state and insist that construction there must stop.

Other countries will ask for other human remains to be returned. In the 'Musee de l'Homme' (Museum of Man in Paris), we are aware that there are war trophies.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Catherine Morin-Dessailly, French Senator who wrote the bill: "I was cautious enough when I wrote the bill to lay the stress on very special criteria justifying the restitution. It's not the case of all human remains which are very different. There is, for example, a difference between archaeological remains and relics and Egyptian mummies. It's very different from the story of the Maori heads." 17. Close of statue 18. Morin-Dessailly talking to reporters 19. Wide of interior of Senate building STORYLINE: France's parliament has approved the return of tattooed, mummified Maori heads to New Zealand, wrapping up a debate on what to do with the human remains acquired long ago by French museums seeking exotic curiosities. For years, New Zealand has sought the return of Maori heads kept in collections abroad, many of which were collected by Westerners in exchange for weapons and other goods. Dozens of museums worldwide have agreed to do so. France's Senate had already approved the bill to send Maori heads in French collections back to New Zealand. On Tuesday, the bill cleared the final hurdle in parliament at the National Assembly, where it passed by 457 votes to eight. The Culture Ministry has said it counted 16 Maori heads in France, including seven at Paris' Quai Branly museum for the primitive arts, which keeps them in storage. The debate started in France in 2007, when officials in the Normandy city of Rouen offered to return a Maori head in the city's natural history museum. Local authorities got a scolding from the culture minister for not checking with national authorities first who feared that Rouen's unilateral decision would set a precedent for similar action by other museums. This, a big concern in a country that is home to the Louvre, with its many Egyptian mummies. But French Senator Catherine Morin-Dessailly took charge and drew up a bill proposal in favour of the restitution. She said the return of the Maori heads would not open a "Pandora's box" of requests for the return of other remains, because she had been careful to include specific criteria relating to the Maori heads in the bill. Maoris believe that remains deserve full respect and care and should rest in their home area without being disturbed. Some of the Maori heads, with intricate tattoos, were traditionally kept as trophies from tribal warfare. But once Westerners began offering prized goods in exchange for them, men were in danger of being killed simply for their tattoos, French museum officials have said. Since 2003 Maori and New Zealand government agencies have worked on efforts to persuade museums worldwide to repatriate Maori remains back to Maori tribes, so far with mixed success.

Wide of exercise in progress 9. Man on stretcher being lifted and carried away STORYLINE Emergency services in Paris on Tuesday took part in an exercise simulating three coordinated bomb attacks on the French capital. Hundreds of police, firefighters and ambulance crews put into action their emergency responses to a potential city-wide attack. The fake "blasts" went off at the Stade de France national stadium, in a shopping centre, and next to the river Seine in central Paris. Volunteers with fake injuries lay on the ground waiting to be helped by emergency workers. Georges Guyon, a spokesperson for Paris Prefecture, said the aim of the exercise was to "sync and correlate all the forces called upon to act in this type of scenario and help the victims." He said the exercise would help the emergency services and the Paris authorities to improve their skills in managing a crisis. The exercise closed down parts of the capital, causing frustration for some tourists who said they were unable to take a boat trip on the river while the drill was going on. The simulation comes just days after a bomb-laden SUV was found in Times Square in New York City.

Amy Ziegler told local media that her 17-year-old son, Steve Consalvi, regretted running onto the field on Monday night. Consalvi hopped a fence and scurried around the outfield, eluding two security officers in the bottom of the eighth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. One officer used a Taser and the Consalvi went down in a heap. Consalvi is a high school senior from the suburb of Boyertown. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey has concluded the officer acted within department guidelines, which allow officers to use Tasers to arrest fleeing suspects.
