...Hassan Khreisheh, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, tells Time he handed a report on the cement deals to Arafat's attorney general and has recommended prosecutions. According to a copy of the report obtained by Time, well-connected companies won import licenses for 420,000 tons of Egyptian cement from last September to February, but only 33,000 tons found its way to the Palestinian market. The rest, the report charges, went to an Israeli company in Haifa. The report doesn't say how much of around $6 million in profits went to P.A. officials and their connections...
...need that courage. At Danbury, Stewart will have none of the creature comforts that she touts to her fans and customers. She will probably be strip-searched on arrival.

...sponsorship strategy has yielded a few early successes. For the soccer team, the N.O.C.I. has inked two-year deals with LG Electronics, a South Korean company; Iraqna, a subsidiary of Egyptian conglomerate Orascom; and Bestseller, a Danish apparel company.

One group seized the chief of an Iraqi construction firm; another, the Lions of Allah, said it took a senior Egyptian diplomat hostage because Egypt had offered security aid to the Iraqi government. Seven truckers, an Egyptian and six men from Kenya and India, were taken by insurgents who demanded their employer, Kuwait and Gulf Link Transport, close its operations in Iraq. The company said it was negotiating with the kidnappers...
...Prime Minister ultimately responsible for all decisions. It's not good that the parties put limits on our hearings." Judge Juan del Olmo's separate judicial investigation of 3/11 isn't dwelling on politics. The arrest last month in Milan of Egyptian Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, whose fingerprints were found in the house where the bombs were prepared, may have brought police closer to the top of the network's command structure. As important as it is to figure out what happened between March 11 and 14, the inquiry into Ahmed's activities will do more to protect Spain...
