...right. Richard Reid, a British passenger on the Boeing 767, was trying to light a fuse protruding from his shoe, witnesses say. According to the FBI, packed in the sole were enough high explosives to blow a hole in the fuselage of the aircraft. But the attempted bombing was foiled. Two flight attendants struggled with the tall, unkempt man after one of them noticed the sulfurous smell of a lighted match. Danison remembers one of the attendants crying, "Oh, my God! Somebody help me!" and then calling for "water, contact solution, anything you have." Passengers passed cups and glasses back...
...radicalism of its message and the number of suspected terrorists who have worshipped there. Moussaoui was a regular at Finsbury Park, as were other al-Qaeda operatives, such as Djamel Beghal and probably Kamel Daoudi, two Frenchmen currently being held for their alleged role in a plot to blow up the American embassy in Paris. Nizar Trabelsi, a Tunisian former professional soccer player now being held in Belgium, who is alleged to have been the designated suicide bomber in the Paris-embassy plot, is also thought to have frequented the mosque...
...Jacquard, a French expert on terrorism, says his sources tell him the former head of the Khalden camp, now detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has identified Reid as a former student.

One idea is that Olympic judges should no longer be nominated by the national skating federations but chosen instead by the I.S.U. While that would do nothing to solve the problem of judges' being partial to skaters of their own nationality, it would break the tight links of association that now bind them to their national...
...Andrew's University in Scotland estimates that 400 to 600 foreigners have passed through its camps since 1996. Its links to Jemaah Islamiah are evidenced by the tale of Fathur Rohman al-Ghozi, an Indonesian arrested in January in Manila for taking part in a Jemaah Islamiah plot to blow up U.S. targets in Singapore. Al-Ghozi led police to a massive store of explosives in Mindanao's General Santos City that he said were to be used in the attacks. In 1996, al-Ghozi was sent to Mindanao by his Jemaah Islamiah superiors in Malaysia and spent more than...
