...kidnappers have issued no demands as yet, in previous kidnappings Abu Sayyaf has made demands ranging from insisting that the government include a popular local Muslim film star on its negotiating team (a demand that was met) to a call for the release of imprisoned World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and others convicted of terrorism in the U.S. The group also announced just last week that it had beheaded two Filipino hostages from a previous kidnapping as a "birthday present" to President Joseph Estrada.

...Pakistan - Pakistani cooperation is the only chance we have of capturing Osama Bin Laden. Terrorism is the No. 1 national security priority right now, and Pakistan continues to cooperate, although perhaps not as much as Washington would like." They've helped the U.S. arrest World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef, as well as the man who attacked CIA headquarters in Langley and also some of Bin Laden's lieutenants.

Supermax. The repartee isn't exactly Firing Line. "They bulls___," says Dennis Hartley, one of McVeigh's new lawyers. "Nobody...
...killed six people and injured more than 1,000. On a chilly, clear February night in 1995, a helicopter soared over the Hudson River to the FBI's office at New York City's Federal Plaza. Sitting blindfolded in the chopper next to the bureau's Lewis Schiliro was Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the Trade Center attack, who had just been nabbed in Pakistan. During the transatlantic leg of the flight back to the U.S., Yousef had bragged that his original plan had been to plant enough explosives in one of the 110-story twin buildings to topple...
