According to the BBC, three people have been killed in three bomb attacks in Riyadh, and around 50 injured. Colin Powell, who is about to visit Riyadh, "said the attacks bore all the signs of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network."

Or, it should be noted, of pretty much any other guerilla group, on current evidence.

Addendum: we still haven't found any weapons of mass destruction. I'm going to have a big brass plaque made up in a few months, with "I TOLD YOU SO" on it in big big letters. I will polish it daily.

In other news, Mark Sandman is still dead (but Maggie isn't), and furthermore Jeffrey, Hoogs and Tony Martin are still in jail.

Now that is surely wrong of you Mr Clarke. I have every confidence that now the coalition forces are in control of the whole of Iraq we'll find those pesky Mass Destruction Weapon type thingies. Even if we have to paint "IRaki SkuD" on the side of a few Patriot missiles.

And it's nice that the Iraqi oil is now being sold in dollars again instead of Euro's. Or so this article suggests: http://www.pubtheo.com/page.asp?PID=1181

Excellent idea. I am so stealing this from you.

Graham, how can you possibly be pleased that the pleasant, well-mannered and not at all dangerous and psychotic Mr Martin is still in jail? A man so obviously in the right that the Daily Mail supports him. Like many of our noble tabloid editors, I am at a loss to think what message his original conviction sends out about British justice.

Apart from "you can't shoot people just because you feel like it," of course.
