...resign after Barletta signaled his intention to investigate Spadafora's murder. Barletta's successor, Eric Arturo Delvalle, quickly came to Noriega's defense.

Noriega, who stood at the President's side, charged that conspirators ''want to get the military out of their barracks.'' The swift denials did little to dampen interest in the allegations.

A 23-year-old friend of the Armstrongs' fired a shotgun at the whites...
...joined a small motorcade of al-Qaeda leaders, including bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who drove into the mountains above Khost to watch the hijacked planes crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on satellite TV. Hamdan was also at bin Laden's side - as a driver - in the weeks that followed, while the motorcade moved from one guesthouse to the next as bin Laden and al-Zawahiri readied their remaining fighters for America's imminent invasion...
