100 | nyt://article/44526a23-cc1d-5ffd-b7a0-aa879f3b9e84 | Thailand: Ex-Premier’s Wife Arrested | Foreign | Pojaman Shinawatra, the wife of the ousted prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, returned to Thailand to fight corruption charges. She was met by the police after her flight arrived from Hong Kong, arrested, quickly released on bail, and ordered not to leave the country. Analysts said her return — the couple have been living mostly in London and Hong Kong since a military coup in 2006 — signaled confidence that the political situation, still unsettled after a victory by Mr. Thaksin’s allies in elections last month, would turn in their favor once a new government has been formed. Noppadol Pattama, a lawyer for the family, said Monday that Mr. Thaksin planned to return by mid-April. He is charged in the same cases as his wife, charges brought by the generals who carried out the coup. | 2008-01-09 05:00:00+00:00 | ['Thailand', 'Politics and Government', 'Ethics', '"Coups DEtat and Attempted Coups DEtat"', 'Thaksin Shinawatra'] |

The prosecutor said Mr. Qureshi, originally from Pakistan, planned a “two- to three-week operation” either in Pakistan or Afghanistan, possibly against Western troops. He was carrying nearly $18,000, a telescopic night sight and a computer hard drive loaded with militant Islamic tracts, the court was told. Prosecutors said that he had trained with jihadist groups in Pakistan linked to Al Qaeda and that his skills included encrypting e-mail messages. The court was also told of e-mail exchanges he had with Samina Malik, known as the “lyrical terrorist,” who received a suspended sentence in November for keeping a library of terrorist material. Ms. Malik, a clerk at a Heathrow newsstand who wrote poetry limning her passion for Islamic militancy, received an e-mail message from Mr. Qureshi asking about security arrangements at Heathrow. According to the prosecution, she replied, “The airport security is as tight as ever.”. | 2008-01-09 05:00:00+00:00 | ['Pakistan', 'Decisions and Verdicts', 'AL QAEDA', 'Terrorism', 'Great Britain'] |
