...various countries are among the 21 hostages who were forced onto two boats on the remote island of Sipadan overnight Sunday by gunmen suspected of being members of a Philippines-based Islamic separatist movement. A spokesman for the Abu Ayyaf organization, a dwindling radical Islamic group with links to superterrorist Osama bin Laden, on Tuesday first claimed responsibility for the attack, and later (sort of) withdrew the statement, saying: "I'm not saying we are the ones; I'm also not saying we're not the ones - let's give the government a puzzle." Although Philippines officials were skeptical...
Turn up Islamic terrorists anywhere in the world, and it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll be separated by no more than three degrees from Osama Bin Laden. But rather than proving that the Saudi superterrorist is a global mastermind able to wreak havoc anywhere in the world at the click of a Send button, this ubiquity says more about the diffuse nature of his operations. U.S. investigators were reported Thursday to have uncovered links between Bin Laden and the bomb plot foiled last December by the arrest of a number of Algerian militants on U.S. soil.

Empires historically have crumbled when they overreach, and superterrorist Osama bin Laden?s adventures in China may yet prove to be his undoing.

Afghanistan?s rulers on Wednesday pooh-poohed the sanctions announced by President Clinton Tuesday to pressure them into ceasing their support for the Bin Laden network. And Bin Laden could well be in a position to handsomely compensate his hosts for some of their losses. While U.S. trade with Afghanistan amounted to little more than $28 million last year, Bin Laden is reported by the AP to have recently taken delivery of as much as $50 million in donations...
...Delhi correspondent Maseeh Rahman. "Pakistan may be tempted to defend the infiltrators by attacking Indian planes, but that would mean a full-scale war." Pakistan has denied responsibility for the incursion by heavily armed insurgents, some of whom may have been trained in the Afghanistan camps of alleged superterrorist Osama Bin Laden. But Islamabad's protestations of innocence are dismissed in New Delhi, which insists that an incursion of this scale could not have been undertaken without active Pakistani military involvement. Thursday's shoot-down is taken by India as further proof of Pakistani complicity. The countries have fought...
