The good news: "The War On Terror is Over", The Bad News: 'Al-Qaeda trio' arrested in southern Spanish towns.(BBC).Police have arrested three suspected al-Qaeda members in southern Spain. Explosive material was seized at an address in San Roque where a Turkish man was arrested. Two other men were held near Almuradiel. They are thought to have been planning an attack in Spain or elsewhere in Europe, according to the Spanish Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz. It is reportedly the first time such suspects have been found with explosives. The material is currently being tested but is thought to be enough to "destroy a bus", Mr Diaz told reporters. Earlier reports had suggested that poison had been found at the same address. Police suspect at least one of those arrested has attended training camps in Pakistan, reports say. Two of the suspects were travelling in a bus towards France when they were arrested in a lay-by near Almuradiel by a police special operations group, Mr Diaz said.
