Bangkok - Documents found in the house of a fugitive leader of Thailand's Islamic insurgency suggested extremists were plotting attacks next year at tourist resorts across the country, a senior Thai security official said. The separatist rebels also planned to turn three Muslim-dominated provinces in Thailand's south into a base for international terrorist groups, the official told the Associated Press Thursday. Islamic extremists with suspected links to al-Qaeda bombed a discotheque in a Bali resort in October 2002, killing almost 200 people. The victims were mostly Western tourists including two Canadians.

"We are dismissing any suggestion or allegation that we were involved," the paramilitary group said in a notice issued to Belfast media. A team of 45 detectives is working on the case, which has been called Northern Ireland's biggest robbery.

A California biotech company, Genetic Savings and Clone, forged the kitten from the remains of Nicky, a cat who died last year. "He is identical. His personality is the same," she told the Associated Press news agency.
