...McVeigh's latest battle with the Federal Government is, for him at least, a win-win proposition. Last week lawyers for the Oklahoma City bomber asked federal judge Richard P. Matsch to stay McVeigh's execution, which was postponed from May 16 until June 11 after the FBI admitted it had misplaced more than 4,000 pages of documents that should have been given to McVeigh's defense team. Arguing that the government had perpetrated "a fraud on the court," the lawyers requested a hearing to determine whether the feds willfully withheld the documents in order to conceal exculpatory evidence...
...peace process was supposed to represent hope for a new generation of young Israelis, its meltdown came last week in the form of a suicide bomber who targeted those very teenagers. Just before midnight Friday, an Islamic Jihad bomber slipped in among Israeli clubbers at a beachfront night spot in Tel Aviv and detonated his belt of explosives, blasting ball bearings, nails and screws through the crowd.

The celebrated former Soviet dissident, by virtue of leading Israel's largest Russian immigrant party, has become something of a political kingmaker in the Jewish State and now serves as housing minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. And, he says, that cabinet was on the brink of launching an all-out war on Yasser Arafat's security forces last weekend, when foreign intervention persuaded them to hold...
...been a bad week for McVeigh; Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch refused to delay the execution date for the convicted Oklahoma City bomber, ruling that McVeigh should die on Monday, June 11th for his role in the 1995 explosion that killed 168 people...
