A couple of days before the APAT Dublin event, Britain was placed on a "very high alert" in view of an increased terrorist threat from the IRA. Hmm...I thought surely a coincidence.
Today this is posted on the BBC website.
Spain"s Basque rebels Eta call "permanent truce"
The Basque separatist group Eta has announced a permanent ceasefire in its fight for independence from Spain.
In a video statement sent to the media, the group said the truce would be "internationally verifiable".
Eta"s campaign for independence for the Basque region has cost more than 800 lives since 1968 but it called a halt to armed attacks last year.
There was no immediate comment from the Spanish government, which has reacted cautiously to earlier Eta claims.
The interior minister is expected to respond shortly.
As in previous filmed statements, the video showed three Eta militants in white hoods. They said it was "time to act with historical responsibility".
It said it was declaring "a permanent and general ceasefire which will be verifiable by the international community".
"This is Eta"s firm commitment towards a process to achieve a lasting resolution and towards an end to the armed confrontation," said the statement.
Whilst I accept that APAT has a increased presence in todays world, this kind of headline is becoming a little alarming.
ETA are obviously blissfully unaware of the imminent arrival of the "Stockton Massive" and in particular it"s "chief scout" who arrives on Thursday!!!!!!!!!
Are there any plans to have an APAT event in Season 5 in Beruit or Baghdad?

Considering the Yemen actually.
