Arrest warrant of little help
The international warrant issued for Gaddafi's arrest is of little practical value, writes the online edition of news magazine Polityka: "The decision of the judges of the International Criminal Court has a symbolic rather than practical function because there is hardly anyone who can enforce it. ... It's highly unlikely that Gaddafi will ever be put on trial. The rebels can prosecute him in a Libyan court if they catch him. But they could also agree to the even less likely possibility of the colonel leaving the country as a swifter means of ending the civil war."

Russia helpless against terror
The bombing at the Moscow airport shows how unsuccessful the Russian government has been in fighting Islamic terrorists, writes the online edition of the news magazine Polityka: "On the one hand the attack in Moscow has shown how vulnerable Russia still is to attacks from terrorists. On the other it demonstrates that Russia has failed to get a grip on the situation in the North Caucasus. Russian investigators are pointing to the North Caucasus - without clear-cut evidence as to the origin of the attacker who blew himself up on Monday afternoon. In their view that's where the contractors and organisers of the explosion are to be found. In the past years Islamists from the North Caucasian republics - above all Dagestan, Ingushetia and Chechnya - have been behind almost all terrorist attacks in Russia."

No change of power in North Korea
Kim Jong-un, the youngest son of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, has been appointed to the Central Committee of the Workers' Party and made general and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission. This means there will be no change of power in the country for the time being, the online edition of the news magazine Polityka concludes: "The special party conference of the North Korean communists, organised to mark the 65th anniversary of the founding of the party, will hardly go down in the annals of history. The delegates, all decked out in their medals, once again appointed Kim Jong-il as Secretary-General despite the tentative speculation that the 'beloved leader' was now prepared to name his youngest son Kim Jong-un the new leader. But what would have been a sensation has failed to materialise. And instead of power he has only received the stars of a general."
