...Prime Minister Shimon Peres said again last week that the Israeli military did not know the U.N. position had become a camp of refugees. Despite Peres' claim that "nothing was done intentionally," the Amnesty International report released Wednesday finds that the Israeli Defense Forces had deliberately attacked the Qana compound April 18, killing 91 civilians in violation of international rules of war. "The horrific nature of the events at Qana has only been made worse by the Israeli government's refusal to own up to its responsibility," said the report. More than 150 Lebanese civilians were killed and 350 injured...
...however, masks a troubled past. As an adolescent, Hall was an indifferent student who clashed with his parents and took refuge at friends' homes. But Hall idolized his maternal grandfather, Charles Keating Jr., a one-time NCAA swimming champion with whom he would shoot prairie dogs on the family compound. When Keating, former chairman of Lincoln Savings & Loan, was indicted in 1990 and convicted of fraud and racketeering, Hall was devastated. "He was one person who had confidence in me," he says.

While one group negotiated with Bordeau, another, armed with clubs, machetes and AK-47s, stormed into the church. Tutsi, women and children among them, fled through a rear door and into the surrounding papyrus brush. They were hunted down. Hutu severed a woman's hands and feet. They cut out a man' s heart, leaving a huge gash in his chest. Bordeau was handed a baby, still breathing but drenched in his mother's blood...
SCOTT MACLEOD, TIME's veteran middle East reporter, was in the Emirate of Bahrain, just minutes away from boarding a flight to Paris, when he got word of the terrorist bomb attack at the American military compound near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Without a moment's hesitation, he had his luggage removed from the plane and started working on getting a visa. It was hardly a sure thing, since MacLeod had recently reported a TIME story that the Saudi royal family found displeasing. But by the next day he was at the scene of the explosion. "It was my misfortune...
