Chavez: Carlos the Jackal 'a good friend'

CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez brought up Carlos the Jackal during a meeting of oil producers Thursday, calling the Venezuela-born terrorist who once took hostages at an OPEC meeting "a good friend."
Carlos, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, gained notoriety during the Cold War for staging a string of bombings and assassinations. He is serving a life sentence for murder in France.
Chavez recalled in his speech how Ramirez once in a letter referred to the Venezuelan leader's 1999 tour of OPEC member states.
He said Carlos, "a good friend," said in the missive from his prison that the tour appeared "hair-raising."
"I will never forget that phrase from Carlos," Chavez said.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON, June 1 (KUNA) -- The London City Airport was closed and train services were halted Thursday after a suspected unexploded Second World War bomb was found on a building site, police said.
The discovery was made at Canning Town, east London, this morning.
Trains were halted on the Docklands Light Railway while there were no flights in and out of London City Airport, which is about a mile and a half from the location of the bomb.
A police spokesman said "This is an ongoing incident and the area has been cordoned off." Britains National Air Traffic Services said all flights had been stopped at the small airport, which serves only UK and European destinations.
Unexploded bombs from the Second World War are frequently still being found in the UK but most are defused safely."
