London - Police arrested a man found in the grounds of Buckingham Palace Wednesday in what they said appeared to be a drunken prank. The 27-year-old man was discovered near the perimeter wall at around 2 a.m. after triggering an alarm. Baghdad - Iraq's U.S.-appointed interim government established a war-crimes tribunal Wednesday to try former members of deposed president Saddam Hussein's regime. Aboard Canadian Forces 001 - The champagne flowed with the reminiscences Wednesday afternoon as an emotional Jean Chretien winged home to Canada from his final trip abroad as prime minister. Chretien, who turns 70 next month and retires Friday morning, said he was proud to be leaving office still riding high in the polls. Asked about his most significant acts in politics, Chretien chose a surprising example. He said bringing an art exhibition of the Renaissance masters to his hometown of Shawinigan - allowing the youth to experience Rodin and Picasso - was a great public service. He had tears in his eyes as he spoke. He also said his decision to keep Canada out of the U.S.-led war in Iraq was a winner. "I think it was for Canada the best move. It's what Canadians think at this moment." "You cannot be in the actions for 40 years and not regret things you've done," he said. "I made mistakes, like anybody else. But it's done. On the whole, I'm pretty happy."
