llfcHtll Police said Tuesday night that officers who searched the detainee's apartment in a wealthy district of Madrid seized an external hard drive and two notebooks with chemical equations that had nothing to do with his studies. It said he tried to recruit people via the Internet to help him, and that a computer allegedly used for this purpose was among objects seized by police. The man had planned to attack anti-pope protesters with "suffocating gases" and other chemicals, the statement said. But it did not mention police having confiscated chemicals that couldbe used in an attack.

Riot police monitored the plaza after the demonstrators were cleared out.

A police official said the suspect arrested in Madrid Tuesday is a 24-year-old Mexican student specializing in organic chemistry.

Eight years is a long time and by now your ex should have adjusted to the fact that you have separate lives. too, foresee ahost of problems in the future if you and your daughter continue to succumb to her emotional blackmail. One solution would be for Gloria to bring a companion of her own to the wedding. Another wouldbe for you to sit with your ex during the ceremony and with your girlfriend at the reception. But for Gloria to say that you only want your girlfriend with you at family events "so you can show the world you can get a date" is hostile.

If you don't assert yourself and end your ex's game-playing, what will wind up happening is you having to alternate celebrating milestone events in your daughter's and eventual grandchildren's lives. DEAR ABBY: I like to be tan. Sometimes I tan outside, but often that takes too long and can be damaging to the skin, so I opt for self-tanning lotion. But some people ask me if I have put on "fake 'n' bake." I feel this is rude. I don't want to have to explain my desire for tan legs I want people to be -lieve the color is real.

They do look that way, but because others are pale in DEAR ABBY: I'm in a real pickle. My ex-wife, "Gloria," and I have been divorced eight years but have managed to remain civil to each other. Last year, my daughter had a big birthday party to which I wanted to bring a date. Gloria decided that she would not attend because it wouldbe "hurtful" to see me with another woman. After my daughter called me in tears, I canceled my date and went to the party alone.

Now my daughter is about to be married and I want to bring a date to the ceremony. Again, Gloria has announced that she will forgo the pleasure of seeing our daughter get married "so I can have my way and prove to the world I'm able to get a date." My daughter is caught in the middle and wants us both there I foresee a host of problems in the future if Gloria's behavior continues. My girlfriend is understanding, but I wish I could include her in family activities es -pecially one of- a kind events like weddings. Your thoughts, Abby ARIZONA DAD IN CONFLICT DEAR ARIZONA DAD: Clearly you have gotten on with your life and Gloria MEMORIAM Jessie Herrera Valenzuela 1261941-8182009 Two years have gone by, not a day goes by that we don't think of you.

You are with family above especially your son, John. Peace be with you. Sisters forever, Mary Cruz, Carmen and Lucia; brother, German; husband, Juan; son, James and family. To inijitis VMffltiai hbfciftr comparison, I get asked about it. How do I reply without giving myself away? BRONZED BABE IN THE WEST DEAR BRONZED BABE: If people are asking you about the tan on your legs, face it it doesn't look real.

Your problem may be that you are using the wrong product. Or, if you're using it only on your legs, that couldbe what's made it obvious to others. A possible solution wouldbe to consult someone who works in a spray-tanning salon. DEAR ABBY: My friend, "Maggie had her flight home canceled and asked me if she could stay at my place overnight. I'm in a long-distance relationship and I felt my girlfriend of seven years would be uncomfortable with the arrangement I asked Maggie to respect that and offered to book a hotel room for her instead.

She was offended and ended our friendship. Do you think I was wrong? UNFRIENDED IN VIRGINIA DEAR UNFRIENDED: No, I think you were pro -tecting what was important to you your girlfriend's feelings. Andl also think you made the right choice. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
