...search of the embassy had begun a day earlier in an atmosphere of extreme caution. Fearful that the departing Libyans had left time bombs or booby traps behind, police used a remote-controlled shotgun to blast open a rear door of the building.

By nightfall, all 70 rooms in the embassy had been examined and no explosives found. Detectives speculated that the murder weapon and any unused ammunition...

Small groups of Toyota desert vehicles, with 106-mm recoilless rifles mounted at the rear, wheel and charge like cavalry in the vastness of the Sahara. Outriders hang from the sides, firing their AK-47s with deadly grace. Very young and therefore very brave, the men of these small fighting units, or escadrons, whip their Toyotas' flanks until the vehicles seem to snort and froth at the bit like fine-blood Arab stallions. The young soldiers move silently, without war cries except for the high-pitched scream of their engines...
