One story that was widely covered by all the press today was the capture of the man India reckons is the key to last weeks terroist attacks.

Independent (UK)
Mastermind of Mumbai seized by Pakistani commandos

The Independent claims Zaki ur Rehman Lakvi had been watched by US intelligence, and Dehli had also demanded his arrest ahead of the Pakistani-led raid. They also say that India threatened military strikes on Kashmir if Pakistan did not take action against suspected terrorists. The paper quotes a former Indian counter terrorism chief, who says this is only a start, India will need to see more action from Pakistan in order to be satisfied.

The Hindustan Times (India)
Pakistan arrests 26/11 plotter Lakhvi

The Hindustan Times quotes the Pakistani English language daily Dawn - which says the operation is part of a "quiet crack down" on the Lashkar e Tayyeba islamist group. That article sits besides another with the headline, 'All 10 attackers from Pakistan.'

The Times of India (India)

Pak arrests Mumbai attack mastermind

Front page news and with detailed analysis on the inside pages, the indian daily talks about a report from the US which claims that Lashkar e Tayyeba has become strong because of the backing of the Pakistani spy agency, the ISI.
They also quote a spokesman from the terrorist group who says that the arrests are a result of Indian pressure on Pakistan - and that by bowing to India the Pakistani government shows its weakness.

Libération (France)
Nazis en toutes lettres (Nazis spelled out)

Liberation tells of a military cemetery in the north of France where the tombs of hundreds of Muslim soldiers who fought for France in the First World War have been desecrated. It points the finger at Neo-Nazis. This is the third time such vandalism has happened in this region.
The vandals worked through the night undisturbed. The paper wants to know how this can happen, a question also posed by fellow French daily Le Figaro.

Le Figaro (France)

Un cimetiere est profane tous les trois jours (A cemetery vandalised every three days)

Le Figaro says a cemetery is vandalised every three days in France.They quote a recent report on the issue which says it's not just a problem faced by specific religious groups. The report says the problem is delinquency and that punishments for such behaviour should be harsh so as to deter deliquents. The paper considers whether an answer might be to put video surveillance in graveyards.

The Guardian (UK)
Shell horreur!

The Guardian has a French scoop. The Normandy coast has been struck by oyster rustlers. In the past 3 weeks thieves have stolen over 25,000 euros worth of oysters. The fishing community reckon it must be a professional job, as apparently it takes knowledge to negotiate the oyster beds and they'd need tractors to move the catch.
This is the peak season for Oyster farmers, the shellfish are traditional festive food for the French, and three quarters of all trade is done at Christmas and New Year. The problem has occured in previous years when the authorities were forced to set up dawn patrols with boats and helicopters to keep an eye on the precious beds.
