...Mokhtar Haouari, an Algerian citizen, was a bit player in a larger bin Laden plot. Not only were U.S. sites targeted to be bombed on Jan. 1, 2000, but there was a similar plot in Jordan and a planned attack against the U.S.S. The Sullivans while it was at port in Aden. "It is clear that the general guidance was given by al Qaeda network to pursue these three plots," says a U.S. counterterrorism official...
...shippers to buy new ones in Asia than to ship the empties back. So colorful 40-ft. by 8-ft. by 10-ft. boxes are piling up like giant Lego blocks at U.S. waterfronts from Newark, N.J., above, to Norfolk, Va., to Los Angeles. People living near the port in L.A. want the city to build a berm that will block their view of the unsightly containers. Pleasure boaters are complaining too; the estimated 10,000 containers lost at sea each year lurk just below the surface and pose a hazard to smaller vessels...

...Genoa after World War II, MPs painted the words OFF LIMITS on some of the streets downtown in an effort to keep soldiers away from the city's petty thieves and prostitutes. Not much has changed since: some of the tiny alleys in the old part of this medieval port city, while picturesque, are best avoided. If you know where to go, you can still enjoy memorable shops and museums in Genoa--even if you're one of the thousands of business and government executives who will be joining President Bush and other heads of the world's major industrial...
...your return to town, relax with a fine lunch or dinner with a view of the port. On the main square, try Puny or the Taverna del Marinaio (the Sailor's Tavern). While both offer excellent fish, Puny takes no credit cards, and the Taverna del Marinaio may close without notice if the owner is competing in a regatta. Though it has no view of the port, La Concordia on Via del Fondaco is a favorite of the locals. The restaurant at Hotel Splendido, high above the town, offers outdoor seating. Local specialties include pasta with pesto or with salsa...
