...looking for something a little further from home, then take a walk to the Fogg Museum Indoor Courtyard to see Antonio Cesti's baroque opera Orontea. Produced by the Harvard Early Music Society and performed with period instruments, Orontea tells the story of an Egyptian queen who vows that she will never marry. But of course such a vow is bound to change. This is opera, after all. Complications ensue but at last nupital vows prevail. Look at today's preview story for more information...
American Intelligence Agencies now strongly suspect that the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a Cairo-based extremist group that is part of OSAMA BIN LADEN's loose network, may have carried out the Oct. 12 attack in Yemen on the U.S.S.

But FBI officials say they have seen no evidence of that. Unlike the East African governments, Yemeni officials have refused to allow the FBI to join local cops on joint searches and interviews with witnesses and suspects. Without timely, full access...
...Pockets of Bin Laden supporters have been unearthed wherever foreign veterans of the Afghan war are to be found, and they are believed to have created cells in some 50 countries. Last week, a New York court convicted Ali Mohammed, a sergeant in the U.S. Army and a former Egyptian army major of doing intelligence work for Bin Laden's networks. And the Algerians arrested last December for allegedly smuggling explosives into the U.S. from Canada are suspected of working with Bin Laden, even though they were ostensibly supporters of Algeria's Islamic Salvation Front, which has not traditionally targeted...
