...Hage, an affiliate of Osama bin Laden, was indicted with three others in 1998 for "conspiracy to murder U.S. personnel and civilians" in connection with the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He has been held for the past year in solitary confinement in the Manhattan Correctional Facility, awaiting a trial set for Sept. 2000. The government justified the defendant's isolation, saying terrorist attacks can be planned from prison...
...Afghans ought to keep their eyes on the skies. The arrest of 13 alleged terrorists linked with Osama Bin Laden in Jordan Wednesday may spell trouble for Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement. The group, which included Jordanians, an Iraqi and an Algerian, was reportedly trained in Bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan, and had some nasty plans for the New Year - to attack U.S. and Israeli targets in Jordan.

...Nobody knows exactly what the U.S. is planning to do if there are Bin Laden strikes, but presumably they're considering military options," says TIME Washington correspondent Massimo Calabresi.

Though officials say they have received word of a specific threat, Washington isn't saying where Bin Laden or other terrorists may strike, simply asking all Americans living or traveling abroad to take extra...
...There have been a slew of threat reports over the past few weeks, mainly Bin Laden-related," an official told the Los Angeles Times. "And then one emerged in the past couple of days that seemed much more credible and specific than all the others." Global cautions to the millions of Americans spread around the globe are issued each time the U.S. does anything that may be deemed offensive to terrorists anywhere, which makes them fairly commonplace: Sunday's was the fifth since October. But senior officials went out of their way to warn the media not to treat this...
