Good news from....

....an unusual place. When the Swiss, famous for their neutrality, start arresting extremists, things are going right in the world.

Swiss authorities said Friday they have detained five Islamic extremists suspected of using the Internet to show the killing of hostages — which reportedly included the beheading of an American — and to give bomb-making instructions.

It was unclear if any of the slayings took place in Iraq, where they have been blamed on the group led by Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Video recordings of those killings have been posted on various Islamic Web sites.

"The sites — which were actively exploited by at least one of the arrested persons — included numerous videos showing the putting to death of hostages and the mutilation of human beings," said a statement by the Federal Prosecutor's Office.

The five are being investigated for "for incitement to crime and for supporting a terrorist organization".

Good. When the whole world agrees that it must be stopped, terrorism will no longer threaten civilization.
