GLÄNTAN
Tomas Tranströmer

Det finns mitt i skogen en oväntad glänta som bara kan hittas av den som gått vilse.
 Gläntan är omsluten av en skog som kväver sig själv.
Svarta stammar med lavarnas askgrå skäggstubb.
De tätt sammanskruvade träden är döda ända upp i topparna där några enstaka gröna kvistar vidrör ljuset.
Därunder: skugga som ruvar på skugga, kärret som växer.
 Men på den öppna platsen är gräset underligt grönt och levande.
Här ligger stora stenar, liksom ordnade. De måste vara grundstenarna i ett hus,
jag kanske tar fel.
Vilka levde här? Ingen kan ge upplysning om det.
Namnen finns någonstans i ett arkiv som ingen öppnar (det är bara arkiven som håller sig unga).
Den muntliga traditionen är död och därmed minnena. Zigenarstammen minns men de skrivkunniga glömmer.
Anteckna och glöm.
 Torpet sorlar av röster, det är världens centrum.
Men invånarna dör eller flyttar ut, krönikan upphör.
Det står öde i många år. Och torpet blir en sfinx.
Till slut är allt borta utom grundstenarna.
 På något sätt har jag varit här förut, men måste gå nu.
Jag dyker in bland snåren. Det går bara att tränga ig igenom med ett steg framåt och två åt sidan,
som en schackspringare.
Så småningom glesnar det och ljusnar. Stegen blir längre. En gångstig smyger sig fram till mig.
Jag är tillbaka i kommunikationsnätet.
 På den nynnande kraftledningsstolpen sitter en skalbagge i solen.
Under de glänsande sköldarna ligger flygvingarna hopvecklade
lika sinnrikt som en fallskärm packad av en expert.

Germany Arrests Three Al Qaeda Suspects




BERLIN — German police on Friday arrested three suspected members of the al-Qaida terrorist organization who officials say posed a "concrete and imminent danger" to the nation.


Authorities did not say whether the three had planned specific targets and offered few details, but security officials said that all three suspects were of Moroccan origin. They also said that two were arrested were in the western German city of Duesseldorf and one in nearby Bochum. The arrests were based on suspicion they were planning a terror attack, they said.

The arrests "succeeded in averting a concrete and imminent danger, presented by international terrorism," German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said in a statement. They showed "Germany remains a target of international terrorists."

Germany has escaped any large-scale attack by an Islamic terror organization, such as the Madrid train bombings of 2004 and the London transit attacks of 2005. But Germany's presence as part of the NATO coalition in Afghanistan has sparked anger and at least two major plots have been thwarted or failed in Germany before they could be carried out.

The suspects had been under surveillance since November when Germany increased security across the country in response to heightened terror threat warnings in Europe, but authorities only had enough evidence to launch an official criminal investigation starting April 15, German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said in a statement.

Federal prosecutors said earlier they had ordered Germany's federal police to arrest the trio, but gave no further information about the timing or location of the arrests. Officials were planning a news conference for Saturday.

A U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss an ongoing investigation told The Associated Press in Washington D.C. that a SWAT team picked up three people in a raid on suspicion they were planning an attack with explosives.

"Our concerns about threats in Europe had a number of different threads and strands, some of which have been disrupted by good intelligence and law enforcement work by the relevant services," another U.S. official told the AP on condition of anonymity.

"There have been five disrupted plots in Europe during the past four years – including a credible plot in Germany in 2007 – all of which demonstrate Pakistan-based al-Qaida's steadfast intent to attack the US and our allies."
