...another PR salvo against Bin Laden, intelligence sources have told Newsday that the terror boss was responsible for two plots to kill President Clinton. The sources said FBI agents had learned from captured suspects that a plot to kill the President during a visit to the Philippines was abandoned because of tight security, while a second assassination plot was to have been attempted during Clinton's canceled Pakistan visit. If the reports are true, Washington would do well to beef up security for next week's Moscow trip -- after all, Bin Laden is also alleged to have trained a number...
...people like Sheila Horan until something truly terrible happens. But after more than two decades in the FBI's secretive national-security division, she knows her way around terrorism. And now she has been thrust into one of the most difficult manhunts in her career, as on-the-scene boss of the investigation in East Africa that the U.S. hopes will one day nail down the names and addresses of the terrorists who ruthlessly massacred 257 innocents and wounded more than 5,000 in the twin bombings of the U.S. embassies...

When he came to pay the money back, Anderson refused to return the coins and gave them to Wenner, the owner of Rolling Stone...
...Ironically, Al-Fayed is no longer blaming British intelligence for the crash -- he's decided Rees-Jones and Wingfield are responsible. The Harrods boss blasted his former bodyguards in an exclusive interview with TIME: "They are the people who caused the devastation and the accident through their incompetence and unprofessional practices," he says. Should security practice at the Ritz become the center of the investigation, Al-Fayed's about-face may turn out to be a bid to find culprits who, conveniently, no longer work for him. It's not hard to wonder what Diana would think of these legal...
