Baghdad - Iraq's interim government has clarified its plans to offer amnesty to insurgents, saying it will not forgive fighters who have killed anyone. When the plan was first announced last month, the government said it would not prosecute insurgents for their past crimes, but those who continued killing could be executed. Georges Sada, spokesperson for Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, said the government was under no pressure from the Americans to change the eligibility of those who can be pardoned. London - Thirteen people alleged to have been preparing terrorist acts have been arrested in raids around Britain. London's Metropolitan Police revealed few details about the arrests, saying only that the men had been arrested "on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism." The arrests took place in northwest London, in suburban Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, and in Lancashire in northwestern England. Asuncion, Paraguay - The owner of a Paraguay supermarket that caught fire, killing at least 464 people has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. The charges against Juan Pio Paiva come after a security guard told investigators he received an order by radio to lock the building's doors to stop people from leaving with stolen goods. About 400 people who escaped the blaze remain in hospital.
