Spain holds 17 'Iraq recruiters'
 Spanish police have arrested 17 suspected militant Islamists thought to have recruited and trained sympathisers to join the insurgency in Iraq. The suspects were arrested during pre-dawn raids in and around Madrid, Barcelona and the Basque town of Tolosa, Spanish media reported. They included a suspect thought to be linked to a suicide bomber who killed 18 Italian soldiers and nine Iraqis. The bomber had attacked an Italian military base in Nasiriya in 2003.
