...with U.S. support during the Western campaign to oust the Soviet army from Afghanistan. In 1990 the U.S. Congress passed a resolution denying all economic and military aid to Pakistan over suspicions that it was developing nuclear weapons. Three years later, Washington threatened to place Pakistan on the list of states supporting terrorism--a move that would have cut the country off from most outside investment and lending. Bhutto's recent efforts to improve relations by cooperating with the U.S. on terror and drug investigations have outraged even moderate Pakistanis, who felt their government kowtowed to Washington by extraditing Ramzi...
...plans can be upset. Also the best-laid tables. A February business dinner at Spielberg's estate in Pacific Palisades was supposed to cinch the deal with Samsung, whose proposed stake in DreamWorks had grown from $500 million to $900 million as the talks progressed. That night the guest list swelled too, to more than a dozen, and Kate Capshaw, Spielberg's actress wife, had to scurry to a local store for extra table linen. The elegant meal of Chilean sea bass and white wine (except for Katzenberg, who sipped his usual Diet Coke) at the home of the most...
Federal authorities know it would be foolhardy to regard the 12 names as anything other than a hit list, since doctors identified in antiabortion literature have a habit of becoming targets.

Nine days later, Dr. Gary Romalis was gravely wounded...
...through couriers to avoid possible government surveillance. They swap tactics and quietly circulate a how-to manual for clinic attacks that explains how to superglue locks, build bombs and burn clinics. Most alarming, in January a new group called the American Coalition of Life Activists released a "deadly dozen" list of abortion doctors. The Justice Department quickly dispatched U.S. marshals to protect the physicians, one of whom was tracked down on vacation in the Caribbean and met by marshals at the airport...
Shannon's trail led to a modest blue house in Portland, Oregon, where Andrew Burnett publishes Life Advocate, a magazine regarded as the handbook for abortion militants. Each month it chronicles movement activities and carries a list of prisoners serving time for clinic attacks. But the magazine specializes in identifying doctors who perform abortions. A September 1993 article described how Burt and Hill went about learning the identity of Gunn's replacement in Pensacola. Ten months later the replacement and his escort were dead, and Hill was under arrest...
