officials said.

The two, father and son, were arrested in an early morning raid in Brescia, police in the northern Italian city said.

The suspects managed a money transfer agency and helped fund the Nov. 26 attacks, police said in a statement. The day before the attacks they transferred money to activate an Internet phone account that was used by the attackers and their accomplices, said Stefano Fonzi, the head of anti-terror police in Brescia.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama pledged Thursday to do his utmost to bring the Olympics to Tokyo in 2016 as he prepared to go to Copenhagen for the big vote.
"As long as I go, I want to win," Hatoyama told a group of reporters before heading for Tokyo's Haneda Airport. "If our rivals are moving ahead of us, we'll cruise to the top from behind."

Tokyo is vying with Chicago, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro to host the Summer Games in 2016. The International Olympic Committee will vote Friday to choose the site, with millions of dollars in construction, tourist revenues and sponsorships at stake.

The silly season has started.. :o)

OK.. I can understand Rugby Sevens, but GOLF????? And as for Softball .. Don't even get me started...

Seven sports are bidding for inclusion at the 2016 Olympics . Golf and rugby sevens look to be favourites to be added to the Olympic programme in time for the 2016 Games.

But softball and squash both have hopes of gaining the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee's executive board on Thursday.

A seven-sport shortlist, also including baseball, karate and roller sports, will be trimmed to "no more than four".

A final decision on the two new sports will not be rubber-stamped until an IOC meeting in Copenhagen in October.
