...question of who else was involved was still murky. Salameh attended a Jersey City mosque often led in worship by Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, a Muslim fundamentalist who was implicated and later acquitted in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. One of Sheik Omar's followers is serving a seven-to-22-year sentence in connection with the 1990 murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane in New York City. (See cover stories beginning on page...
...wealthy Coptic Christian family, Boutros-Ghali grew up speaking three languages -- Arabic, French and English. He earned a Ph.D. in international law from the Sorbonne, then went on to a career as a professor of law at Cairo University and as a writer. He was tapped by President Anwar Sadat as a senior policy adviser and was named acting Foreign Minister when two foreign ministers resigned in protest over Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem in 1977.

It was a daring gamble that would ensure both men a place in history and a share of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. But by the time Begin died last week...
Gleaming new Chryslers and Mitsubishis fill the remodeled showroom of Bader al-Mulla and Bros. But upstairs the executive offices are still a charred shambles, torched by fleeing Iraqi troops 11 months ago. Anwar al-Mulla, on holiday in Europe when Iraq invaded Kuwait, returned at war's end to join his brothers in the monumental rebuilding task. Iraqis had seized 3,500 al-Mulla automobiles; the company's losses from fire and theft totaled $230 million. Al-Mulla's house, which served as the headquarters of Saddam Hussein's occupation overseer, was also devastated. His sole consolation: "They left...
