Which did little to reassure New Yorkers about their safety. On Thursday bomb scares closed the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and one entrance to Kennedy Airport. A ninth suspect in the case of the would-be U.N. bombers was arrested, but some other plotters may be still at large. Meanwhile, at bail hearings for some of the original eight suspects, FBI officials charged that their targets also included the George Washington Bridge...

Last month he went to San Antonio, Texas, for his son's wedding, an understandable absence but irritating to colleagues since it occurred just as crucial decisions were being made to arrest suspects in planned bombing attacks on New York City.

By last weekend, under authority of an arrest warrant issued by Howe, the U.N. forces had not caught Aidid despite house-to- house searches, but were satisfied they had him on the run. Five U.N. troops, four Moroccans and one Pakistani, were killed, and more than 100 Somali militia died during the raid...
...territory by U.S. troops diminished his influence, making him wary, then openly hostile.
