...claims, and FBI sources confirm, that before his name had been leaked to the press as a suspect, agents persuaded Jewell to submit to a voluntary filmed interview by telling him they were making a training video. Officials at the Justice Department say neither they nor FBI Director Louis Freeh knew about the ruse until September. Immediately, say these sources, Justice and Freeh launched an investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility.

They will be more forthcoming but in their own way and in their own time." While FBI Director Louis Freeh was in the kingdom last weekend attempting to sort out those issues, relations became more complicated at a higher level. Saudi Arabia1s defense minister, Prince Sultan, said Sunday that he opposed a U.S. proposal to relocate troops from the Dhahran complex where the bomb killed 19 American servicemen. U.S. officials...
