Brussels police 'hunting metro attack accomplice'-By EUOBSERVER-MAR 24,16

Today, 09:29-Belgian authorities are hunting a possible accomplice to the bomber who killed at least 21 in the Maelbeek metro station attack on Tuesday, reports say. CCTV footage revealed a second man carrying a large bag alongside Khalid El-Bakraoui, the identified suicide bomber. There has been no official confirmation.

Mogherini pushes for Syria peace after Brussels attacks-By EUOBSERVER-MAR 24,16

Today, 10:12-The attacks in Brussels should re-energise international efforts to end the conflict in Syria, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said after holding talks with Syria's chief negotiator in Geneva. She said the world would then be able to tackle the "existential threat" that the Islamic State (IS) group poses.

Brussels attackers were considering nuclear site, changed their minds: paper-Reuters-MAR 24,16-YAHOONEWS

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Suicide bombers who blew themselves up in Brussels were originally considering an attack on a nuclear site in Belgium, but arrests started last week may have forced them to switch to targets in the Belgian capital, the DH newspaper said.Referring to an incident in December that prosecutors confirmed in which militants covertly filmed the home of an unidentified senior official in the nuclear industry, the paper quoted a police source as saying two of the suicide bombers, brothers Khalid and Ibrahim Bakraoui, had filmed the daily routine of the head of Belgium's nuclear research and development program.The police source did not address why investigators thought they had continued to plan to go through with the plan despite the discovery of the covert video three months ago and the ramping up of security around nuclear plants as a result.The sensitive inner high-security areas of a nuclear power station would almost certainly have been beyond the reach of militants such as the Bakraouis.A 10-hour video from a camera hidden in front of the nuclear official's house was found in December during a police raid in Belgium, linked to the Paris attacks a month before.On February 17, Belgian prosecutors confirmed the existence of the video seized in December and said the man in it was linked to the country's nuclear industry.Earlier this month, 140 soldiers were dispatched to guard the country's three nuclear sites. On Tuesday after the Brussels bombings, the sites were sealed and non-essential staff evacuated as a precaution.While investigators had known the camera with the video had been removed from its concealment by two men, they did not know their identity. DH said it was now clear that it was the two brothers.Investigators were not available for comment.Any plans for an assault on a nuclear site, even a symbolic operation on the perimeter, might have been foiled by a police operation last week in the Brussels borough of Forest, the newspaper said. In that raid, officers unexpectedly stumbled upon armed men in a flat that was searched in connection to the Paris attacks investigation.One of the men in the flat, later identified as an Algerian national called Mohammed Belkaid, was killed by police in a shootout and police believe one or two others may have escaped.But clues found in the flat led the police to the arrest three days later of the prime surviving suspect in the Paris attacks Salah Abdeslam and another suspected militant Amine Choukri also using the name of Monir Ahmed Alaaj.The arrests may have forced the hand of the attackers who decided to shift to targets in Brussels, focusing on the airport and metro: "There is no doubt that they rushed their operations because they felt under pressure," the police source was quoted by DH as saying."Even if one couldn't prevent these (Brussels) attacks, one can say that their magnitude could have been much bigger if the terrorists had been able to implement their original plan and not opted for easier targets," said the police source.(Reporting By Jan Strupczewski; editing by Ralph Boulton)

Opinion-Europe builds tower of babble against terrorism By Michael E. Smith-MAR 24,16-EUOBSERVER

Aberdeen, Today, 16:49-The dust has hardly settled from the terrorist attacks in Brussels, but the recriminations and remedies are already being voiced loudly across Europe and beyond.Brave little Belgium is bearing the brunt of the blame, as critics point to its complex federal structure, linguistic divide, and apparently weak efforts to coordinate police and security services in the face of the Islamic State terror threat.France said much the same after suffering its own attacks in Paris last November, which had been linked to plotters based in Belgium, and others around the world have joined the chorus since the bombs went off in Zaventem and Maelbeek.Security services should be held accountable in these situations, of course, yet there is plenty of blame to go around considering the wider pattern of Islamic terrorism facing Europe, America, and, most importantly, the Middle East, the ultimate source of funding and inspiration for these attacks.Many other countries besides Belgium have suffered such intelligence "failures", while suspects on watch lists have slipped easily through border controls in the US, the UK, France, Belgium, and other countries.-Search for solutions-The fact is that even if Belgium had become a police state after the November Paris attacks, the probability that one or more of these small, "remote control" Islamic State cells could have mounted a successful attack would have remained very high.Hardening public facilities like airports and metro trains and EU buildings would have encouraged terrorists to find softer targets: sporting events, public meetings, schools, hospitals, or other symbolic buildings, like the World Trade Center. Or the offices of Charlie Hebdo.So what is to be done? The blame game has morphed quickly into a search for "solutions", and again the European chorus is singing a familiar, but always dissonant, tune.Those who believe the EU is the root of all evil (you know who you are) believe that national solutions, such as strict border controls and limits on migrants/refugees, must prevail. Those in favour of greater European integration stress a need for joint intelligence services, greater cooperation regarding border and refugee/migration policies, and even (here we go again) a common European army.-National reluctance-Yet the EU has had elements of these solutions in place for years, if not decades. Debates over a common defence date back to the 1950s, and over counter-terrorism back to the 1980s, and over migration/refugee policy back to the 1990s. So these are not new problems or solutions.In each case, the EU lacked the consensus to delegate more authority over these policy domains to common institutions and procedures in Brussels. Instead, "intergovernmental" solutions were favoured, which required consensual decision-making by all EU member states.Moreover, some EU states, like the UK and Denmark, negotiated their own "opt outs" to avoid even the possibility that they could be sucked into common policies on migration or defence.Even France, which almost single-handedly pushed the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy to acquire experience as a military peacekeeper in the Balkans and later in Africa, has resisted the delegation of more military/defence authority to Brussels.This reluctance, which is still shared by some other EU member states, also applies to efforts to create stronger EU intelligence structures, to create a proper Operational Headquarters for military operations, and to create standing forces for rapid deployment in the face of a crisis.This reluctance can also been seen in the form of stagnant or declining defence spending across most European states. And the less said about German "leadership" on these issues over the past decade, the better.-Desperation and hope-The inevitable result of this confusion of naming and shaming, wishful thinking, and piecemeal intergovernmental cooperation is the Europe we have today, where all the major recent crises - the eurozone, refugees, and now terrorism - stem from the same problem: profound disagreement among EU member states, particularly the "big three," about the future of Europe and the institutional structures required to maintain its security and prosperity.Until those states in particular agree to pool their considerable resources and work with other major actors, such as the US and Russia, to confront the root source of terrorism in the Middle East, we can only expect things to get worse before they get better. If ever.It also must be noted that recent attacks in Belgium, France, Turkey, and beyond often involve suicide terrorism.This type of attack in particular is motivated by a combination of desperation and hope: desperation at one's current circumstances, and hope for a better life for one's family and compatriots.Europe represents desperation for many of those susceptible to the lure of extremist violence, while Islamic State provides the inspiration. That situation must be reversed in order to prevent Islamic State terrorism from destroying hope for everyone across Europe.Michael E. Smith holds the chair of international relations at University of Aberdeen and is a researcher in the EU-CIVCAP project on EU conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

EU ministers to urge better anti-terror coordination By Eric Maurice-MAR 24,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:21-EU interiors ministers will call on Thursday (24 March) for better coordination of anti-terrorism efforts and fuller use of existing legal instruments.They will meet in Brussels for an extraordinary meeting two days after attacks in Brussels killed 32 people and left around 300 injured, according to the latest figures.Ministers will not take new decisions but will publish a declaration to express their support for Belgium and list what should be done better.They were in talks on Wednesday evening to get the backing of the European Commission and the European Parliament for the ministers' declaration, an EU source told EUobserver.The declaration will include calls for a quick activation of the air passenger name record (PNR), the source said.A directive to launch an EU-wide PNR was adopted by member states last December but it has still to be adopted by parliament.On Wednesday, commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, the EU anti-terrorism chief Gilles de Kerchove and the French prime minister Manuel Valls urged parliament to vote for the PNR."The European Parliament must fully show its commitment in the fight against terrorism," Valls said at a press conference with Juncker in Brussels.The Italian interior minister Angelino Alfano said on Wednesday that the issue should not become a "European soap opera".-'Trust each other'-Ministers will also renew calls for more intelligence sharing and use of EU databases like the Schengen information system or Europol's database.They will insist on the use of the European Counter Terrorism Centre that was inaugurated in January.Member states were encouraged on Wednesday to do so and to "trust each other'" by the EU home affairs commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos.In line with previous decisions and declarations, ministers will say that control of the EU's external borders must be stepped up, in particular with systematic checks including for EU citizens entering the passport-free Schengen area.The last measure was agreed in November at a similar extraordinary meeting called after the Paris attacks that killed 131 people.In a series of meetings in November and December, France pushed for new steps against terrorism, including the PNR, enhanced checks at borders and new rules against the financing of terrorism.Since Tuesday's attacks in Brussels, French leaders have renewed calls for more European action.In Brussels on Wednesday, for a visit that was planned before the attacks, French PM Valls said that terrorists had attacked "Europe as a whole"."A war has been declared to us, our determination must be total," he told journalists with Juncker standing next to him.He called for a "European security pact" that would be completed by a "European defence able to intervene on external theatres"."Member states must massively invest in security systems. In staff, in equipment, in technologies," he said.Valls also met Belgian prime minister Charles Michel, but no Franco-Belgian common proposal was put forward ahead of the interior ministers' meeting.According to the Financial Times, the ministers will also ask for an easier access to "digital evidence". Telephone and internet providers would be required to hand over information about suspects' communications to authorities.The measure was included in a controversial anti-terror law passed in France after the Charlie Hebdo killings last year but has so far not been discussed at EU level.

Pope washes feet of Muslim migrants, says 'We are brothers'-Associated Press By LUIGI NAVARRO and NICOLE WINFIELD-MAR 24,16-YAHOONEWS

CASTELNUOVO DI PORTO, Italy (AP) — Pope Francis has washed and kissed the feet of Muslim, Orthodox, Hindu and Catholic refugees in a gesture of welcome and brotherhood.Several of the migrants wept as Francis knelt before them during a Holy Thursday Mass with asylum-seekers at a refugee shelter in Castelnuovo di Porto, outside Rome. He poured holy water from a brass pitcher over their feet, wiped them clean and kissed them.In his homily, Francis said: "We have different cultures and religions, but we are brothers and we want to live in peace."Francis also denounced the Brussels attacks as a "gesture of war" carried out by bloodthirsty people beholden to arms traffickers.

No specific threats against U.S. after Brussels blast: Attorney General Lynch-Reuters-MAR 24,16-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Thursday the United States has received no specific, credible threats following the Brussels attacks on Tuesday but that Justice Department officials remain vigilant and in contact with their Belgian counterparts."We are committed to providing any and all assistance as we move forward together," Lynch said at a news conference."We will continue to remain vigilant in order to insure that we can keep the American people safe from harm."(Reporting by Megan Cassella; Editing by Mohammad Zargham)

US nationals injured in Brussels attacks, others missing By Andrew Rettman-MAR 24,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 13:39-About 12 US nationals were hurt in the Brussels attacks, the state department has confirmed during a briefing in which officials defended Belgium's security services.“We’re aware of approximately a dozen US citizens who were injured in the attacks,” department spokesman Mark Toner told press in Washington on Wednesday (23 March).“We are not aware of any US citizen deaths,” he said, but added that “a number of US citizens remain unaccounted for”.“We still have not accounted for every official US government employee or their family members,” he said.“There’s a number of injured in hospitals around the city and we’re still trying to gain access and trying to determine the identity of those … individuals.”He said there was a large number of Americans in Brussels because of its three embassies – one each for the EU, Nato and Belgium. It is also a popular destination for tourists, business travellers and students.Initial media reports said a bomb was detonated next to American Airlines desks at the airport in Brussels.The reports were wrong. But Toner said it was up to Belgium to determine whether the attacks targeted US citizens or whether they were “just a hit” on transport hubs.The US has issued travel warnings for Brussels, Ankara and Istanbul.Toner said his department had no information on “a specific threat” but he said: “We believe that Daesh [Islamic State], al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups continue to plan near-term attacks throughout Europe … those attacks could target sporting events, tourist sites, restaurants.”He said the travel warning was “in no way to discourage or to recommend that Americans do not travel” to Europe.In terms of Europeans coming to the US, he said the Brussels attacks would not lead to further restrictions in US visa-waiver schemes with EU states.He said the programme did not mean that a waiver-state national “simply hops off a plane and gets off in JFK [an airport in New York] or wherever and strolls into the United States unaccounted for or unscreened”.He also said the US would keep on taking in Syrian refugees.He said “these families are the most screened security-wise of any people to come into the United States”.He added that “almost 100 percent of them” were “victims” who were “fleeing the same kind of violence … that we’ve seen in Belgium”.-Armchair critics-Some US politicians have mocked Belgium’s security services for failing to stop the attacks.Toner said that even though the suspects had criminal records there was “no indication that they were radicalised extremists”.“It’s difficult to infiltrate some of these small cells and networks,” he said.“We have to be right 100 percent of the time; they just have to be right, or successful, one time.“There’s always a degree of Monday morning quarterbacking that comes after an event like this,” he said, using an American football analogy equivalent to the English phrase “armchair critics”.He said that when US secretary of state John Kerry visits the Belgian and EU capital on Friday he would discuss “how we can increase our collaboration on counter-terrorism.”-Intelligence cooperation-He said the US and EU states were working on “improving screening measures and tracking capabilities for some of these foreign fighters”, referring to EU nationals who trained with Islamic State in Syria or Iraq and returned to Europe.Kerry will also update EU officials on his talks in Moscow with Russian president Vladimir Putin on the Syria war.Some US buildings in Washington flew their flags at half-mast to show sympathy with Belgium.They did not make a similar gesture after any of the recent attacks in Turkey, but Toner said: “It in no way should be interpreted as showing any disrespect.”

Atlanta airport evacuated as U.S. on alert after Brussels attacks-Reuters By Patricia Zengerle and David Brunnstrom-MAR 24,16-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Atlanta's airport was briefly evacuated on Wednesday over a suspicious package while U.S. law enforcement agencies and travelers were on edge a day after deadly suicide bombings by Islamist militants rocked Brussels.Passengers were ordered out of public areas of the domestic terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the United States' busiest by passenger volume, but the site was quickly cleared and operations resumed, airport officials said.Parts of Denver airport were also evacuated on Tuesday, hours after at least 31 people were killed and 271 wounded in attacks on Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train, as airports across the United States tightened security.U.S. officials were trying to find Americans missing after the attacks, which the officials said injured about a dozen U.S. citizens including three Mormon missionaries, a U.S. Air Force airman, and four members of his family.Among those missing were U.S. government personnel, a State Department spokesman told reporters in Washington."We still have not accounted for every official U.S. government employee or their family members on the ground," said the spokesman, Mark Toner. "Partly that reflects the size of the mission or three missions: there's a bilateral mission, there's a mission to the EU, as well as a mission to NATO."The situation, Toner added, remains "very fluid." He could not confirm whether any Americans were killed.Representative Devin Nunes of California, chairman of the U.S. House intelligence committee, said the attacks may have been aimed at U.S. citizens, noting that the airport blast struck close to U.S. airline counters and that the metro station hit was near the U.S. embassy."It looks like it was targeted toward Americans to some degree," Nunes told reporters.Apart from the eight Americans confirmed as wounded, U.S. media reported on Wednesday that relatives of at least four other Americans who had been traveling in Belgium were still trying to track them down.Husband and wife Justin and Stephanie Shults, originally from Tennessee and Kentucky, respectively, but now living in Belgium, have not been heard from since they dropped a relative at the airport shortly before the blasts, a family member said."We haven't been able to contact them going on 30 hours," Justin Shults' brother, Levi Sutton, told Reuters in a Facebook message. "Stephanie's mom is fine but she was separated from Justin and Stephanie."-DEATH TOLL COULD RISE-Sister and brother Sascha and Alexander Pinczowski, who had been living in New York, remain unaccounted for, the New York Daily News reported. The Pinczowskis' citizenship was unclear. A woman who identified herself on social media as Alexander Pinczowski's girlfriend said she had been unable to contact him since Tuesday morning.Belgian officials have said the death toll could increase because some victims at the subway station were blown to pieces and hard to identify, and several survivors were in critical condition.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said on Wednesday that one of its missionaries, Richard Norby, 66, was in a medically-induced coma after lengthy surgery to address shrapnel wounds and second-degree burns.The attacks sent shockwaves across Europe and around the world, with authorities racing to review security at airports and on public transport systems.Islamic State, which controls areas of Syria and Iraq and has sympathizers worldwide, claimed responsibility for the Brussels bombings, fueling debate and controversy in the United States about how to stop such attacks.U.S. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton said the United States and Europe should take a "harder look" at protocols at airports and other "soft sites" outside security perimeters.U.S. Republican presidential campaign hopeful Donald Trump has advocated torturing militant suspects to obtain information, while another Republican candidate, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, called for heightened police scrutiny of neighborhoods with large Muslim populations.President Barack Obama, a Democrat, rejected singling out Muslims and said while on a visit to Argentina that any such approach "is not only wrong and un-American, but it also would be counterproductive because it would reduce the strength, the antibodies that we have to resist the terrorism."Obama and Vice President Joe Biden said the United States was offering Belgium all assistance to help bring the bombers to justice. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will visit Belgium on Friday, a State Department spokesman said.(Additional reporting by Megan Cassella, Amanda Becker and Susan Heavey in Washington, Barbara Goldberg in New York, Suzannah Gonzales in Chicago, Jeff Mason in Buenos Aires; Writing by Scott Malone and Daniel Wallis; Editing by Bill Trott and Grant McCool)

Aid agencies suspending operations in Greece By Nikolaj Nielsen-MAR 24,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:24-An increasing number of aid agencies in Greece are partially suspending operations in protest at the conditions of detained and stranded migrants seeking asylum.The move follows the launch of an EU-Turkey deal to stem the flow of irregular migration to the Greek islands on Sunday (20 March).The plan hinges on rapidly returning smuggled migrants back to Turkey in the hope of discouraging others from taking a similar journey.But Human Rights Watch on Thursday (24 March) said a humanitarian crisis was unfolding at the Athens port of Piraeus, where thousands of asylum seekers and migrants are stranded.“The suffering in Piraeus is a direct consequence of Europe’s failure to respond in a legal and compassionate way to the crisis on its shores," said Eva Cosse, Greece specialist at Human Rights Watch, in a statement.The rights watchdog estimates around 5,000 men, women, and children are at the port.There are reports of fights between Afghan and Syrian men and mounting fears of sexual harassment and violence against women and children.“Here there is no security. I take my children with me wherever I go," said one 27 year-old Syrian woman.Similar complaints were heard elsewhere with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) earlier this week saying the so-called hotspots where arrivals are screened and registered on the Greek islands have turned into detention centres.The UNHCR has since refused to transport people to the centres, noting Greece is not prepared to handle the case loads under the EU-Turkey deal.Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Norwegian Refugee Council and Save the Children have also pulled out."We took the extremely difficult decision to end our activities in Moria (on Lesbos) because continuing to work inside would make us complicit in a system we consider to be both unfair and inhumane," said Marie Elisabeth Ingres, MSF's head of mission in Greece.Amnesty International accused Turkey of forcibly returning around 30 asylum seekers to Afghanistan "just hours after the European Union-Turkey refugee deal came into force".-Migrants 'safe in Turkey'-Turkey has in the past rejected allegations that it forcibly returns asylum seekers, and says it is now in the process of negotiating a readmission agreement with Afghanistan."We don't push these people back that is why there are safe in Turkey right now," Turkey's ambassador to the EU Selim Yenel told this website on Monday (21 March).Turkey hosts some 2.7 million Syrian refugees and hundreds of thousands of Afghans and Iraqis.Yenel noted that Syrians with a temporary asylum status are entitled to benefits, like healthcare, and will also be able to work.He said that while Afghans and Iraqis are not entitled to employment in Turkey, they are protected.He noted complaints about the rights of Afghans and Iraqis in Turkey only began to surface late last year."Where were all these NGOs asking about the rights of the Iraqis and the Afghans, they weren't doing it then, and now they are asking for it when they return?" Yenel said.

Victim families mark 1 year since doomed Germanwings flight-Associated Press By ALEX TURNBULL-MAR 24,16-YAHOONEWS

LE VERNET, France (AP) — In a solemn day of remembrance, grieving families gathered in a French Alpine village to pay homage to loved ones a year after the co-pilot of a Germanwings plane flew the passenger jet into a mountainside, killing all 150 people aboard.Hundreds of people attended Thursday's commemoration that began with a private ceremony and a minute of silence. Families had the option to visit the crash site on the mountain overlooking Le Vernet. A wreath-laying was the only public moment as families of victims — mostly German and Spanish — marked the grim day.The Airbus A320 was en route from Barcelona to Duesseldorf when co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 27, locked the pilot out of the cockpit and thrust the aircraft into an accelerated dive. France's accident investigating body, the BEA, said in a report released this month that the remains of Lubitz, who had a long history of psychological problems, bore traces of anti-depressants and a sleeping medication."It happened on our mountains, and we have victims' families visiting us every week, families who come and pay tribute," said Le Vernet Mayor Francois Balique.Villagers in Le Vernet and nearby Prads-Haute-Bleone have taken on the role of second family for many of the grieving."Today, this bond is still alive, this friendship between the families and ourselves, we want to make it last, it's very important for us. The role we set for ourselves is to accompany the families each time they come here, and comfort them as they mourn," said Prads-Haute-Bleone Mayor Bernard Bartolini.A first responder to the disaster, Sebastien Beaud of the High Mountain Gendarmerie Unit, said in an interview on the eve of the commemoration that it quickly became clear that finding survivors was an impossible task."There's smoke, flames, debris everywhere ... human remains," he said, recalling walking down the mountainside.Some families preferred to stay away from organized memorials.Juergen Fischenich, who lost his 33-year-old son Sven in the crash, said family and friends would mourn privately."We're not traveling to Le Vernet because we don't want to be among a mass of people when we're thinking about our son," Fischenich said in an email.Sven Fischenich, an HP employee and volunteer fireman, had been traveling home to his wife and baby daughter.In another commemoration, mourners gathered in front of a church in the German town of Haltern am See for a minute of silence. Two teachers and 16 students from the town's Joseph-Koenig high school died in the crash.Town mayor Bodo Kimpel said the tragedy had brought people in the town closer together. "During this difficult time we found a common way to deal with this tragedy, the grief," he said in an interview.Parent company Lufthansa denies wrongdoing, and has so far offered no compensation beyond what is legally required under German law, riling some victims' families. It is phasing out the Germanwings brand in favor of Eurowings.Questions have been raised over the role played by the dozens of doctors Lubitz consulted. One referred Lubitz to a psychiatric clinic two weeks before the crash, suspecting a potential "psychotic episode," Arnaud Desjardin, leader of the BEA's Germanwings investigation, said when the agency presented its final report.A spokesman for Duesseldorf prosecutors confirmed Thursday that several doctors had refused to make statements to police following the crash, citing their right under German law to safeguard their patient's confidentiality even after death.However, Christoph Kumpa told The Associated Press that "knowledge gaps ... aren't expected, as in all cases the patient files were seized under judges' orders independently of any willingness (by doctors) to testify."Some families of British and German victims plan to take legal action against the Arizona flight school, where Lufthansa trains commercial pilots, alleging Lubitz should have been prevented from qualifying, the Britain-based Irwin Mitchell law firm said in a statement this week.___Frank Jordans in Berlin, Kerstin Sopke in Haltern am See, Germany and Joan Lowy in Washington DC contributed.

Rob Ford to lie in repose at Toronto city hall for two days before funeral-[The Canadian Press]-Paola Loriggio, The Canadian Press-March 23, 2016-YAHOONEWS

TORONTO - Rob Ford's body will lie in repose for two days at city hall before he is laid to rest next week — a rare honour the city says has not been granted to a former mayor in decades.A statement on behalf of Ford's family said mourners will be able to pay their respects to the late councillor on Monday and Tuesday.A procession Wednesday morning will start from city hall and end at St. James Cathedral, where a funeral will be held. After the service, Ford's family will leave for a private ceremony.City protocol calls for flags to be lowered at half-mast and condolence books provided to mark the death of a former mayor, but "anything beyond that would be at the discretion of the mayor and depending on what the family's wishes are," said city spokeswoman Jackie DeSouza."Typically the family would make the arrangements and request the city's assistance," she said.Mayor John Tory's office said Ford's family made the request and the mayor gave his blessing, as then-mayor Ford did for Jack Layton, who laid in repose at city hall after his death in 2011.No other former mayor or councillor has lain in repose at city hall since the city amalgamated in 1998, and municipal staff don't have access to earlier records, DeSouza said.Ford's supporters will also get the chance to celebrate his life Wednesday evening at the Toronto Congress Centre.The former mayor's family is asking for people to submit short video clips of their experiences with Ford, which will be compiled into a montage and played at the celebration.The family is also asking that instead of sending flowers, people donate to the Ford-Panov research panel at Mount Sinai hospital, where Ford was treated for cancer."Coun. Ford's family wishes to express their gratitude for the thousands of messages of support they have received from around the world," the statement said."As difficult as it is to say goodbye, they would like to do so in the same manner in which he lived his life, by sharing it with the people."Ford died in hospital Tuesday after battling a rare and aggressive type of cancer.The diagnosis in September 2014 came less than a year after Ford confessed to smoking crack while in one of his "drunken stupors."The illness forced him to withdraw from his bid for re-election in favour of running for councillor in his west-end ward, which he won in a landslide.

Valls, Juncker call for Europe-wide cooperation on security-23/03,16 17:28 CET-EURONEWS

"I also reiterated the urgent need to better fight arms trafficking, the urgent need to adopt a European PNR system, to enable the tracking of terrorists' movements."French Prime Minister Manuel Valls joined his Belgian counterpart Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker as they paused to pay respects at the Maelbeek metro station in Brussels.Shortly afterwards, both spoke up about the need to work together for the security of Europe.Valls renewed France’s calls for a Passenger Name Record system to be set up for European air travel.What is needed, Valls said, is:“Systematic border controls in the Schengen area, deployment of European border guards; I also reiterated the urgent need to better fight arms trafficking, the urgent need to adopt a European PNR system, to enable the tracking of terrorists’ movements.”Juncker, too, called for Europe-wide cooperation.“We also think we need to work together towards unified security. The Commission has proposed all the constituent elements for such a union of security. I would ask the Council of Ministers not to yield to the mounting pressure of lobbyists and instead to keep in mind the essential – what must be done.”An extraordinary meeting of the European Union’s interior ministers has been scheduled for Thursday, March 24, to compose the bloc’s response to the Brussels attacks.

EU pushes for flight data bill after Brussels attacks By Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 23. Mar, 18:28-Last December, the EU's counter-terrorism coordinator Gilles de Kerchove rejected any notion that state intelligence services were not sharing information in their fight against terrorism."It is not true that they do not exchange information or that they retain data," he told EUobserver.De Kerchove, a Belgian senior EU official had also, in the immediate aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris last year, told euro-deputies to "never let a good crisis go to waste".After the Belgian blasts that killed at least 32 and injured some 270 on Tuesday (22 March), he appealed to the same lawmakers to pass a far-reaching digital dragnet on airline passenger details.The EU's controversial passenger name record (PNR) "is not the solution to everything, but it is an essential instrument," he said on French radio.The European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker and France's prime minister Manuel Valls also called on the European Parliament to adopt the PNR directive next month."The PNR is a symbol. The European Parliament must fully show its commitment in the fight against terrorism," Valls said Wednesday at a joint press conference with Juncker in Brussels.Largely panned by civil liberty defenders, the EU PNR bill aims to collect and hand over to security services vast amounts of data from ordinary passengers in the hope of tracking down criminals and potential terrorists.The bill is being presented as one of the tools that could have prevented the attacks in Paris and in Brussels.However, people can simply opt for other modes of transport, aside from commercial flights, in their efforts to reach Syria to fight alongside Daesh or other militant groups.Individuals behind the carnage in the capitals were also residents in both cities and broadly known by the police.-The Counter-Terrorism Stockpile-If passed, PNR will add to a stockpile of some 239 specific EU laws and policy documents that have been adopted in the name of counter-terrorism between 2001 and 2013.Of those 239, 88 are legally binding.When asked how those are being implemented and how effective they are, the EU commission draws a blank.Instead, last December it referred this website to a 15-page document drafted in 2010 titled "The EU Counter-Terrorism Policy: main achievements and future challenges".It lists, as an example of an achievement, the EU Data Retention Directive.The directive was agreed in 2006, in the wake of terrorist attacks in Madrid and London in 2004 and 2005. But in 2014, the European Court of Justice ruled the directive illegal because it breached fundamental rights.Despite the judgement, some member states still use data retention.Meanwhile on Wednesday, the EU commission sent out an update on its European Agenda for Security, adopted last April, and is asking the EU states to make full use of existing tools like the EU police agency, Europol.The update noted, among other things, the need to boost the EU's external borders, combat the sale of illicit firearms, and tackle radicalisation.Earlier this year, it launched European Counter Terrorism Centre to help member state fight extremism. It also set up a so-called EU internet referral unit, tasked to notify internet providers to take down online content.Both are located within Europol, the EU's police agency.-EU states need to 'foster trust'-Interior ministers are now set to convene in Brussels on Thursday (24 March) to discuss how to coordinate on security issues where the EU has no competence and the commission is asking member states to follow its proposals."If all governmens had followed the proposals of the commission, the situation would not be the one we see now," Juncker said Wednesday.The commission president added that there was "a kind of insoucsiance that varies with time"."When serious events occur, we do as if we should become aware of the problem, whereas we should have become award of the problem before tragic events occurs," he said.For the EU commission, that means getting national security and intelligence agencies to start sharing information and prevent further attacks."The fact that the perpetrators of the Paris and of the Brussels attacks were already known to the police proves this once again," said EU commissioner for home affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos.A former Greek defence minister, Avramopoulos said the days of the "deep state" are over and that states will have to start helping one another."The logic of the so-called deep state has finished in our days, everything is globalised, everything is internationalised," he said.Asked if security measures should be strengthened for mass public transport systems, Avramopoulos noted any new laws need to be created "in a proportionate way"."We must not react in panic," he said.

Body found in Brussels airport, bringing death toll to 32-State Department says it’s unaware of any US citizens killed in IS-claimed attacks, but some Americans remain unaccounted for-By Times of Israel staff and Agencies March 23, 2016, 6:17 pm

Belgian authorities have recovered another body at the Brussels airport, raising the death toll in the Tuesday terror attacks to 32, according to local media reports Wednesday.The reports said that during the investigation at the scene, a wall collapsed, perhaps revealing the previously obscured body.Some death tolls counted as many as 34 killed in the twin suicide bombings at the airport and metro on Tuesday. The discrepancy could not be immediately accounted for.The Obama administration said Wednesday it’s unaware of any Americans killed in the Brussels attacks.State Department spokesman Mark Toner said about a dozen US citizens are known to be injured. A number of other Americans remain unaccounted for.Toner said it’s unclear if any Americans might be among the dead as Belgium has not released the nationalities of those killed. Toner said the United States is still doing its own, post-attack accounting and making every effort to support the welfare of embassy staff and US citizens in the city.Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders told Belgian television RTBF that there were around 40 nationalities were among the dead and wounded.They included citizens of Britain, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Portugal and the United States, as well as three to four staff from the EU’s executive arm, the European Commission.The broad range of nationalities reflects the cosmopolitan nature of Brussels — home to many migrants to Belgium as well as the institutional capital of the 28-nation European Union.Among the first fatalities to be named was a Peruvian woman, Adelma Marina Tapia Ruiz, who had been living in Belgium for six years and was travelling with her journalist husband and young twin daughters.One of their daughters was wounded by flying debris in one of two blasts at Brussels’ Zaventem airport.“They took away everything she wanted to do with her life,” her brother Fernando Tapia told Peruvian media, after she was identified by the foreign ministry in Lima.A Moroccan woman was also killed in a third blast at a metro train at a station close to the European Union’s institutional hub, according to the Moroccan news agency MAP.According to an ongoing toll provided by the Belgian health ministry, 31 people were killed and 270 were injured.It was the bloodiest terror assault in Belgium’s history.French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Wednesday said 10 French nationals had been injured, four of them seriously.In London, Downing Street said one British national was missing and four were injured, three of whom were being treated in hospital.Officers from the Belgian federal police’s disaster victim identification team were working at the sites of both attacks, poring over the remains in a grisly process to identify the casualties.

Brothers-in-jihad — when fraternal bonds lead to terror-As in the Brussels, Paris and Boston attacks, experts say radicalization among siblings ‘a natural phenomenon’-By Michel Moutot March 24, 2016, 12:32 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

PARIS, France (AFP) — The Brussels attackers included a pair of brothers, the latest in a long string of sibling duos involved in violent religious extremism — something experts say can occur when close childhood bonds “spin out of control.”“It’s a completely natural phenomenon,” said Marc Sageman, a psychiatrist and former CIA agent who was among the first to identify it in his 2003 book “Understanding Terror Networks.”“You develop your social identity first by talking to those close to you. And at first those close to you are of course your brothers and childhood friends,” Sageman told AFP.“It’s what I call the activation of the social identity. It’s a question of proximity. That’s why there are so many brothers, sometimes sisters, neighborhood friends.“They grow up together. They invent for themselves an identity as defenders of an Islam under attack, of women and children killed in air strikes. They radicalize and reinforce each other,” he said.Brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui were identified as two of the suicide bombers in Tuesday’s attacks in Brussels, while other brother duos were identified in the January and November attacks in Paris last year and attacks in Toulouse in 2012.The 2013 Boston marathon bombers were also brothers — and no fewer than three pairs of brothers were among the 19 hijackers involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.“We have plenty of examples across the terrorism spectrum, of multiple kinds of terrorism in Indonesia, Northern Ireland, Middle East,” said University of Massachusetts Lowell criminology professor John Horgan.Family names by twos, threes and even fours are common on terror watch lists, especially in France and Belgium, as security officials track their travel to and from Islamic State group territory in Iraq and Syria.To beat the tight surveillance put in place since September 11, these family dyads or triads retreat into their own small worlds.“It’s a matter of trust,” Sageman said. “You confide in someone close to you, naturally. And when it’s a matter of getting someone to join you, the most logical target is your little brother or your older brother. It’s the same thing with street gangs. Less brainwashing and indoctrination is needed.”Patrick Amoyel, a psychoanalyst in the southeastern French city of Nice who works for a center specializing in de-radicalizing youths attracted to jihad, said he often comes across sibling pairs.“The influence goes both ways,” he told AFP. “They quickly lock themselves into a sort of psychic confusion. There’s something a little mad, a little irrational in this process. It’s risk-taking that is a bit adolescent, even if they are not always adolescents.”His colleague at the association, Amelie Boukhobza, adds: “It’s often the younger one with more to prove, a place to find for himself, who influences the older one. The older one is not necessarily the dominant one.”The rest of the family is typically aware only that the brothers are close, spend a lot of time together and may lower their voices when others come within earshot.Once the radicalized bubble forms it acquires its own internal logic and resistance to any external challenge.“It can be enlarged to include close friends,” Amoyel added. “Then you have a… consolidation that is very solid, hard to break up. We have seen it very often. And it doesn’t come from mental illness.”The complicity can eventually “spin out of control” as the brothers egg each other on, he said, stoking a “desire to exceed limits, to go towards absolute rebellion. And that can end up in terrorist action.”

Over 40 nationalities among Brussels dead and wounded-Victims include citizens of Britain, Colombia, Peru, France, US; American missionary hurt in attack had survived Boston Marathon bombing-By AFP March 23, 2016, 5:31 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

BRUSSELS, Belgium — They came from Peru or Morocco, from North America or Europe, and their lives — as parent, eurocrat, sportsman or missionary — were just as diverse.That is the emerging picture of the hundreds of people who were killed or wounded in the triple bomb attack in Brussels on Tuesday.Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders told Belgian television RTBF that there were around 40 nationalities were among the dead and wounded.They included citizens of Britain, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Portugal and the United States, as well as three to four staff from the EU’s executive arm, the European Commission.The broad range of nationalities reflects the cosmopolitan nature of Brussels — home to many migrants to Belgium as well as the institutional capital of the 28-nation European Union.Among the first fatalities to be named was a Peruvian woman, Adelma Marina Tapia Ruiz, who had been living in Belgium for six years and was traveling with her journalist husband and young twin daughters.One of their daughters was wounded by flying debris in one of two blasts at Brussels’ Zaventem airport.“They took away everything she wanted to do with her life,” her brother Fernando Tapia told Peruvian media, after she was identified by the foreign ministry in Lima.A Moroccan woman was also killed in a third blast at a metro train at a station close to the European Union’s institutional hub, according to the Moroccan news agency MAP.According to an ongoing toll provided by the Belgian health ministry, 32 people were killed and 270 were injured.It was the bloodiest terror assault in Belgium’s history.French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Wednesday said 10 French nationals had been injured, four of them seriously.In London, Downing Street said one British national was missing and four were injured, three of whom were being treated in hospital.Officers from the Belgian federal police’s disaster victim identification team were working at the sites of both attacks, poring over the remains in a grisly process to identify the casualties.Mason Wells, 19, was one of three US missionaries from Utah who were seriously wounded in the blasts at the airport, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in a statement.US media reports said that in a dark twist of fate, Wells had a similarly close call three years ago while in Boston accompanying his mother who was running the marathon.The event was the target of a terror attack that killed three and wounded scores more.NBC News, quoting Wells’ family, said he was also in Paris in November when the French capital was rocked by a series of attacks.Wells “has burns to his hands and legs and some to his face,” a family friend, Lloyd Coleman, told Utah’s Deseret News daily.The US Air Force also said one of its service members and several of his relatives were also injured.Basketball player Sebastien Bellin, who was pictured lying on the airport floor covered in blood, has had surgery, his father, Jean Bellin, told CNN.“He is obviously stunned. The first words out of his mouth were ‘You wouldn’t believe the carnage I saw around,'” the father said.

Belgium had specific, advance intel on attack sites — report-Brussels said to have received concrete information that airport, metro would be targeted, but didn’t do enough to counter threat-By Times of Israel staff and Agencies March 23, 2016, 8:47 pm

Belgian and other Western intelligence services reportedly had advance, highly specific warnings ahead of the deadly terror attacks in Brussels, but failed to respond accordingly.Belgian authorities knew that terrorists were planning to attack the airport and the metro, and yet they didn’t do enough to counter the threat, Haaretz reported.Belgium said on Wednesday that two brothers with links to the Paris attacks were among the suicide bombers who struck Brussels, killing 32 people and injuring over 200.Prosecutors identified Ibrahim El Bakraoui as one of two men who blew themselves up in the Zaventem airport departure hall while his brother Khalid struck shortly afterwards at the Maalbeek metro station, in the attacks on the symbolic heart of Europe.Police stepped up a manhunt for a third airport assailant whose bomb failed to go off in the attacks claimed by the Islamic State group which have left European leaders once more grappling for ways to tackle the jihadist threat.Belgian authorities had already been hunting the Bakraoui brothers, both Belgian nationals with long criminal records, over their links to Salah Abdeslam, the key suspect in the Paris massacre who was arrested in Brussels on Friday after four months on the run.A third man in a hat and white jacket, seen on CCTV footage with Bakraoui and another unidentified suicide attacker pushing their bomb-filled bags through the departure hall shortly before the attacks, “is on the run,” Van Leeuw said.Authorities are under immense pressure over their apparent inability to smash jihadist networks in Belgium, Europe’s top exporter of jihadist fighters to Syria per capita.Broadcaster RTBF said Khalid El Bakraoui had rented an apartment in Brussels last week under a false name where Abdeslam’s fingerprints were found.He is also linked to another apartment in southern Belgium that Abdeslam and other jihadists used before the Paris attacks.Leaders across Europe have reacted with outrage to the Brussels bombings, with the EU calling an emergency meeting of interior ministers and vowing to defend democracy and combat terrorism “with all means necessary.”Analysts said the attacks pointed to a sophisticated jihadist network in Europe, and French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said there was an “urgent need” to tighten the EU’s external borders following the attacks.

After attacks, Antwerp Jews told not to wear Purim masks-With Belgium on high terror alert, Jewish community cancels events, urges locals not to carry toy guns, use firecrackers-By JTA March 23, 2016, 6:16 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The crisis management center of the Jewish community of Antwerp urged locals not to wear masks on Purim following Tuesday’s terrorist attacks in Brussels.In addition to this instruction, the Jewish Crisis Management Team in Antwerp requested in an announcement published Tuesday that revelers, including children, refrain from carrying toy weapons or using firecrackers or any other device which produces loud bangs.“With the police and army on very high alert, all these cause confusion and are potentially dangerous,” the announcement read.Antwerp’s Jewish quarter is among a handful of areas in Western Europe where the holiday of Purim, often referred to in Belgium as “the Jewish carnival,” is celebrated publicly on the street. Thousands of members of the city’s large ultra-Orthodox community take to the streets in colorful costumes on Purim.The unusual announcement follows the terrorist attacks at Brussels’ main airport, where some 14 people were killed, and at a Brussels metro station, where at least another 17 died.A concert planned for Antwerp featuring the Gat Brothers, popular Hasidic singers from Israel, was cancelled after the singers, who were en route to Belgium when the attacks happened, were redirected to the airport of Liege south of Brussels, the website Kikar Hashabbat reported.Two large Purim events planned for Brussels also were cancelled.

Netanyahu links Palestinians and IS, says all terrorism has same goal-If there is one people that can sympathize with Belgium, it’s terror-struck Israel, PM says at Jerusalem press conference-By Raphael Ahren March 23, 2016, 10:17 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a direct link Wednesday between the devastating attacks a day earlier in Brussels, for which Islamic State claimed responsibility, and Palestinian terrorism, positing that both phenomena pursue the same goal.“I already said many times that terrorism is caused not by occupation and despair, but by hope — the hope of the Islamic State terrorists to establish an Islamic caliphate in all of Europe [and] the hope of Palestinian terrorists that they will succeed in establishing a Palestinian state in the entire territory of the State of Israel,” the prime minister said.Attacks Tuesday at the airport in Brussels and at a metro station in the city a short time later left at least 32 people dead and hundreds more wounded. Islamic State later said that it had carried out the bombings. Belgium on Wednesday identified two of the suicide bombers as Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui.Speaking at a press conference at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, Netanyahu began by expressing condolences to the people of Belgium, and offering any possible assistance.“If there is one people who know what they are going through it is the people of Israel, who have been bravely and courageously fighting against terrorist attacks for many years,” he said.“We’re in a global war against terror. It’s a war of the civilized word versus the sons of darkness. Terrorism strikes everywhere,” he added.“I think the point of departure in the fight against terrorism is this: Nothing justifies terrorism, absolutely nothing. In Paris, Brussels, San Bernadino, Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. Terror must be condemned equally and it must be fought equally.”The prime minister continued: “In all of these places, terrorism does not stem from deprivation. It does not come from frustration. It stems from a murderous ideology — the desire to destroy the enemy and to uproot him.Netanyahu said he had spoken with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel and European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and offered them Israel’s full assistance – including in the areas of security and intelligence.“Israel stands ready to cooperate with all the nations in this great struggle. These terrorists seek our destruction, but they will fail; but if we work together they will fail a lot sooner,” Netanyahu said.Responding to a question posed by The Times of Israel, on whether he was concerned that the United States could support, or at least refrain from opposing, a Palestine-related resolution at the United Nations, he replied that it has been the “traditional policies of US governments to oppose” unilateral efforts to advance the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. All US presidents, including Barack Obama, support this view, Netanyahu said.He then quoted from a speech Obama delivered five years ago at the UN General Assembly: “Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the United Nations… Ultimately, it is the Israelis and the Palestinians — not us –- who must reach agreement on the issues that divide them.”“That is to say that peace won’t come from dictates at the UN or the Security Council,” Netanyahu said. “I agree entirely to this position.”On Tuesday, addressing the powerful pro-Israel AIPAC lobby via video conference, Netanyahu had denigrated the idea of a Security Council resolution that would seek to establish the framework of a peace deal.“A Security Council resolution to pressure Israel would further harden Palestinian positions, and thereby it could actually kill the chances of peace for many, many years,” he said. “And that is why I hope the United States will maintain its longstanding position to reject such a UN resolution.”The US government has repeatedly rejected unilateral steps toward Palestinian statehood, arguing that a solution can only come as the result of bilateral negotiations. On the other hand, the administration has never confirmed that it would veto a Palestine-related resolution if it came up, and some Israeli officials fear that in his last months in office, Obama could support such a demarche in a bid to create a lasting legacy on the peace process.Asked about an unfriendly meeting he had a few years ago with Obama, which was recently described by US journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic, Netanyahu jokingly said he would keep this for his memoirs, quickly adding that he had no intention of writing them in the near future.More seriously, he said that Israeli and American governments occasionally have differences of opinions.“I never thought for a second that, as Israel’s prime minister, I don’t have to express what I think is important for Israel’s security. And that’s what I did. And I think it did it in a straight and respectful and practical manner.”

Obama: No Israeli-Palestinian peace deal in my presidency-In meeting with Argentine counterpart, US president dismisses idea of bi-national state, reiterates support for two-state solution-By AP and Times of Israel staff March 24, 2016, 1:07 am

US President Barack Obama on Wednesday said an Israeli-Palestinian deal would not be reached during his remaining nine months in office.“This is not something I was able to get done,” he said. “I am not that hopeful that it’s going to happen in the next nine months. It’s been 60 years; it’s not going to happen in the next nine months.”He said he expected, however, to continue his efforts to achieve Middle East peace after leaving office in January, Reuters reported.During a two-day, state visit to Argentina, Obama also said a “bi-national” state with joint Israeli and Palestinian leadership was highly unlikely in light of the deep distrust between the two peoples.“There’s been talk about a one-state solution or sort of a divided government. It’s hard for me to envision that being stable, there’s such deep distrust between the two peoples right now,” Reuters quoted the president telling students and teachers at a town hall meeting in Buenos Aires.“And the neighborhood is in such a mess that I continue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way. Now, over time that could evolve.”Israelis and Palestinians both have legitimate fears, but when it comes to making peace, “we can’t do it for them,” Obama added.Earlier this month the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House was exploring the possibility of backing a UN resolution to lay the groundwork for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. But US officials quickly denied the claim.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that he was sure Obama, like all US presidents, would maintain the “traditional policies of US governments to oppose” unilateral efforts to advance the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.Meanwhile, Obama held up Argentina on Wednesday as an emerging world leader worthy of US support, as he and President Mauricio Macri broke with years of recent tensions between their countries.Obama’s state visit to Buenos Aires quickly turned into a love-fest between him and Macri, who in December replaced hot-blooded former president Cristina Fernandez, long a thorn in Obama’s side. Obama lavished praise on Macri and said his visit was “so personally important,” even riffing on his boyhood interest in Argentinian literature and culture.“President Macri is a man in a hurry,” Obama said in Casa Rosada, the pink-hued presidential palace made famous in the US by the movie “Evita.” ”I’m impressed because he has moved rapidly on so many of the reforms that he promised.”Macri, who has committed Argentina to a pro-business approach, was equally effusive about Obama, who leaves office in less than a year.“You emerged proposing major changes and you showed they were possible — that by being bold and with conviction, you could challenge the status quo,” Macri said. He added, “That was also a path of inspiration for what our dear country is now going through.”Obama has made no secret of his preference for Macri over the left-leaning Fernandez, whose meandering invectives against the U.S. were a source of frequent eye-rolling in the White House. Fernandez was close with Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s famously anti-American late president, and openly admired Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. She was quick to blame the US for Argentina’s problems and was accused of helping Iran hide its role in bombing a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, a claim she denied.So Obama was all too glad to see Fernandez replaced by Macri, who has started pushing Argentina back toward the political center after years of flirting with the extreme left. To that end, Obama’s visit was a reward of sorts to keep that promising trajectory on track.It’s a theme of Obama’s Latin America policy that was on vivid display a day earlier in Cuba, where Obama paid a history-making visit aimed at spurring further reforms in the communist country. Obama’s administration has also been heartened by the Venezuelan opposition’s recent success in legislative elections and Bolivian President Evo Morales’ defeat in a referendum on term limits.Those developments have fueled optimism in Washington “that Latin America is moving toward more rational economic and political policies,” said Gabriel Salvia of the Center for the Opening and Development of Latin America, an Argentina-based think tank.Yet Obama conceded that America’s history backing repressive regimes in the region had clouded its ability to take the moral high-ground. His visit, the first for a U.S. president in nearly 20 years, coincides with the 40th anniversary this week of Argentina’s 1976 coup, stirring up lingering questions about America’s role supporting the military dictatorship that followed.At Macri’s request, Obama has agreed to declassify U.S. intelligence and military records about the period known as the “Dirty War,” a gesture Macri said would help Argentinians “know what the truth is.” Before closing his visit on Thursday, Obama planned to pay homage to the dictatorship’s victims at Remembrance Park in Buenos Aires.“I don’t want to go through the list of every activity of the United States in Latin America,” Obama said. But he said one of the “great things about America” is that “we engage in a lot of self-criticism.”Still, there were detractors. Some prominent rights groups threatened to boycott Obama’s visit to Remembrance Park. And a few hundred people gathered at a McDonald’s in protest.“We reject Obama’s presence because the United States is most responsible for the dictatorship,” said Victoria Remesa, a 25-year-old teacher-in-training.It was the opposite sentiment at a factory-turned-concert hall where Obama fielded questions from young Argentinians at a town hall meeting. He called on one fawning woman who said she was “going to have a heart attack,” adding that “you are my hero.” It turned out she didn’t actually have a question.Macri was to honor Obama and his wife Wednesday evening at a state dinner at a cultural center named for the late Nestor Kirchner, Fernandez’s husband and himself a former president. Before returning to Washington, Obama and his family planned for a leisurely daytrip to Bariloche, a picturesque city in southern Argentina.
