...more after a bomb scare Monday at the World Trade Center, which forced the evacuation of several hundred people. It turned out that the package had exposed wires but was not a bomb. Prosecutors hope to prove Yousef and suspected cohort Eyad Ismoil were responsible for driving the bomb-laden van into the trade center's underground garage on the day of the attack, which authorities say was intended to shock the U.S. into ending its support for Israel.

For the Pentagon, there is a sense of urgency about getting rid of these chemical-laden rockets and bombs, which are crammed into 208 earth-covered igloos. For one thing, the Chemical Weapons Convention ratified by the U.S. Senate last April requires their prompt destruction.
