BBC World News with Nick Kelly.
Two unexploded car bombs have been found in central London. Police said the devices containing petrol gas canisters and substantial quantity of nails would have caused carnage had they gone off. The first bomb was found in the earlier hours of Friday morning outside the park night club. The second device was discovered short distance away. Danny Shaw reports.
The discovery of the second bomb has clearly shaken police and suggested the attacks coordinated and involved a number of individuals. The car, a blue Mercedes, has been parked near Trafalgar Square, but 2:30 in the morning it was issued with a parking ticket and an hour later towed to a car pound. It seemed that during the afternoon someone on the car pound alerted police. According to the head of Scotland yard's counter terrorism command, the car contains very similar materials to those in the first Mercedes which was parked nearby. As with that car, explosive officers manually defused the device.
Four men have been charged in the United States with trying to blow up fuel tanks and pipelines at John F. Kennedy airport in New York. A grand jury in New York indicted the men on five counts of conspiracy to bomb the airport. Prosecutors said the men, three from Guyana and one from Trinidad, had links with Islamist militants in the Caribbean and South America.
The Supreme Court of the United States has said it will review whether terrorism suspects held at the Guantanamo Bay have the right to challenge their detention in the US federal court. The move reverses a decision taken in April and it is a setback for the Bush administration which last year pushed through a law stripping Guantanamo detainees of the right to appeal to civilian courts. Jonathon Beale is the BBC's State Department correspondent.
Now, the Supreme Court has said well they are going to look again at whether these detainees should have a right to go to federal court. Remember, the Bush Administration has put these prisoners in Guantanamo Bay they say they're enemy combatants. They do not want them to have the right to trials on the mainland in federal court. This is not a normal trial's process that many of them will go through. They are not given many of the rights that normal defendants are going to be given. They won't have access to some of the information that's gonna be presented against them. So, this is a blow, no doubt about it, for President Bush.
President Bush has banned several Syrian and Lebanese officials from entering the United States. These are accused of undermining the Lebanese government. The White House says the list of Syrian officials includes the director of military intelligence Assef Shawkat and his son Ikhtiyar an adviser to President Bashar al-Asad.
Nearly a million people have been affected by severe storms in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan with hundreds of thousands of people left homeless. Police have used tear gas to disperse victims angered by lack of aid. Many people have been without electricity or drinking water since cyclone Yemyin struck on Tuesday.
World news from the BBC.
The Main Sunni political bloc in the Iraqi government, Iraqi Accord Front, has said its six ministers will boycott cabinet meetings in protest against arrest warrant issued for one of them Asad Kamal al-Hashimi.

Mr. Hashimi has denied any involvement. The head of Iraqi Accord/ Front Adnan al-Dulaimi told BBC that its ministers would continue their work outside cabinet meetings. “We did not suspend our participation in the Iraqi government, but we suspended only the attendance of our representatives in the government and their eleven ministries of the cabinet meetings until the issue of Asad Kamal al-Hashimi who is a member of our bloc is resolved.”
