Focus: "USA plans to attack Iran's nuclear facilities on April 6 at 00:40 a.m., the Echo of Moscow Radio reports citing anonymous sources from the Russian military intelligence. Financial analysts predicted that the exchange rate of the US dollar and the euro would fall. Badri Gobechiya, CEO of Otkritie Financial Corporation said that a rise in the oil prices would first affect the EU and then the USA.
In an interview with the radio, Gobechiya said: 'The Americans won't start a new war, their analysts won't allow such a folly'."
HeraldSun: "In the remaining 20 months of the Bush administration, America's leaders have to avoid the sort of spontaneous combustion that could produce a disastrous escalation of the country's Middle East military conflicts, a former national security adviser said at Duke University on Wednesday.
Specifically, the country has to avoid getting into an armed conflict with longtime nemesis Iran, said Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's top adviser on foreign affairs throughout Carter's four years in office, including the 444-day Iranian hostage crisis.
'If the war is enlarged in the next 20 months to include Iran - if that happens - for the next 20 years the United States is going to be bogged down in a war which spans Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and then you can forget about American global leadership,' he said."

SBSun: "The Central Intelligence Agency says it has no records to support an Upland man's claim that he collected a massive weapons arsenal as part of a government-backed plan to overthrow Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
According to a CIA lawyer, the agency combed through its records looking for any ties to 62-year-old Robert Ferro. Besides a few casual mentions, it came up with nothing to support Ferro's contention he had the government's blessing to have the weapons."

Terry Jones: "I share the outrage expressed in the British press over the treatment of our naval personnel accused by Iran of illegally entering their waters. It is a disgrace. We would never dream of treating captives like this - allowing them to smoke cigarettes, for example, even though it has been proven that smoking kills. And as for compelling poor servicewoman Faye Turney to wear a black headscarf, and then allowing the picture to be posted around the world - have the Iranians no concept of civilised behaviour? For God's sake, what's wrong with putting a bag over her head? That's what we do with the Muslims we capture: we put bags over their heads, so it's hard to breathe. Then it's perfectly acceptable to take photographs of them and circulate them to the press because the captives can't be recognised and humiliated in the way these unfortunate British service people are."
