He was blindfolded, barefoot and had his hands and legs bound, and was shouting, `I'm innocent; why are you taking me?' and `Show me the arrest warrant.' '' His two suitcases were left in Room 16 till dusk. Pakistani officials later announced that the bags contained bombmaking equipment, including two toy cars packed with explosives, as well as flight schedules for United and Delta airlines. Ali Mohammad, they said, was really Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, a man with...
President Clinton hailed the arrest. ``This is a major step forward in the fight against terrorism. Terrorism will not pay. Terrorists will pay.'' Upon hearing news of Yousef's fall, James Fox, former director of the FBI's New York office, couldn't contain his elation. ``I just put my fist in the air and said, `Yes! At last!'

Government aides added that Guillen had grown up in comfortable circumstances in Tampico. He attended private religious schools and the Autonomous University of Mexico, and later taught communications at another university before disappearing in 1983. According to press reports, Guillen lived for several years in Nicaragua, where he worked...
...arrest yesterday of Kevin Mitnick ? described as the world''s most notorious computer hacker ? raises troubling new questions about commercial interactions in cyberspace, says TIME technology writer Josh Quittner. Mitnick, 31, was able over the years to hack into various computer systems and get access to privileged information from big-name companies like Digital, Motorola and NEC. He also obtained a copy of credit card numbers of 20,000 members of Netcom, a San Jose-based Internet provider. "If Netcom can''t keep those numbers secure, how can L.L. Bean?" says Quittner. Most troubling is the fact Mitnick...
