Finally, the gang proceeded to actual assembly of the bombs. Last Wednesday two men brought to the Queens safe house diesel fuel from a gas station in Yonkers, a northern suburb, operated by one of the suspects, Mohammad Saleh. Some of the gang also reportedly made specific preparations to flee the country within a few days. The FBI and city police, who had been watching the assembly through concealed television cameras (which later pictured their own raid on the factory) and listening through monitoring devices, decided they had better move immediately. Said FBI special agent in charge James...

...portion of oil revenues to pay claims arising from its invasion of Kuwait, and swear to respect its 1963 border with that country. On Saturday, Baghdad formally accepted in a 23-page letter to the U.N. that also complained the resolution was harsh and unjust. But, said Saadi Mahdi Saleh, speaker of Iraq's parliament, "we have no alternative but to accept." A U.N. observer force will move into the border areas, allowing the U.S. and allied troops occupying southern Iraq to head home.
