I can say now: all the combatants who participated in the fight for freedom in South America came to Algeria; it's from there that all those who fought left. We trained them, we arranged for the weapons to reach them, we created networks.
What I'm working on is for people to be able to say that Kippenberger had this really good mood.

It's a libel to say that I use my newspapers to support my other business interests. The fact is, I haven't got any other business interests.
Even before September 11, there was a debate in the administration about whether or not military force should be used to oust Saddam Hussein.
