...will pave the way for a bloodless transfer of power to Kabila. Mobutu had vowed that he would die before being declared the ex-president of Zaire, and to the last refused to cede authority to the rebel leader. Instead, the resignation was vague at best.

Like Lippo, both companies are owned by ethnic Chinese and have ties to Beijing officials. Federal investigators are also looking into the business practices of Johnny Chung, the Chinese-American entrepreneur who gave the Democrats $366,000 during...
That rendition of motive, reported Friday by the Dallas Morning News, sent chills through survivors and the kin of the 168 people killed in the April 19, 1995, blast.
