...some 12.5 million Muslims who suffer high unemployment - and, since Sept. 11 - growing mistrust from non-Muslims. One sign of the tension came when the French government tried to create a representative council for French Islam. French Muslim organizations were set to choose their representatives last June, but Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy canceled the elections.

Sources tell TIME that 50 new defendants are about to be added to the list of 100 already named. Prime among them is likely to be Saudi Minister of the Interior Prince Naif. Another likely target is the Saudi American Bank (SAMBA), the kingdom's second largest financial institution, which is partly owned and managed by Citibank. The list will also include prominent Saudi charities, financial institutions and businessmen, notably Mohammed al-Amoudi, the multimillionaire owner of a lavish Addis Ababa...
