UK Gives Libyans Bomb Lessons
THE SUNDAY TIMES: BRITAIN has been secretly training Libyan security officers in the methods used by terrorists to make bombs.

At least 20 Libyan police officers have attended explosives training courses at a specialist counter-terrorism school in Wiltshire.

They were taught how terrorists obtain, handle and use explosives and the electronic components of bomb-making, and how they construct improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The training was approved in advance by the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office. >>> David Leppard | Sunday, September 20, 2009

Oujda 'bout Dat!
THE TELEGRAPH: The Wiltshire town of Trowbridge has become the first in Britain to be twinned with a Muslim Arab town.

Trowbridge has officially been twinned with the Moroccan city of Oujda in reflection of its large Moroccan community.

Trowbridge's Moroccan Partnership Steering Group Chairman Cllr Bob Brice, said: "Hopefully we can show the rest of the country how Muslim and Christian communities can get on together."

Abdel Boutarfas, chairman of the Trowbridge Moroccan Community Association, said: "Having a twinning between a west country town and a Muslim town is significantly important. It can only help to break down barriers and have benefits for the local people in Trowbridge as well as those of Moroccan origin.
