...explosive experts flew to Italy to see if the bombs in New Jersey and the blast in Naples were connected. The Naples suspect, Okudaira, was sought for a similar car-bomb attack on the U.S. embassy in Rome last June while President Reagan was attending a seven-nation economic summit in Venice. Okudaira's organization is believed to have trained in Lebanon with Islamic Jihad, a Shi'ite Muslim group with ties to Iran. Responsibility for the Naples explosion was claimed by various factions of Islamic Jihad, one saying the attack was in retribution for the U.S. air assault...
Luckily, my mugger was not as demanding as his gun had led me to suspect. After handing over $2 and some change, I walked quickly to the Cambridge police station to give a description.

He would also withdraw up to half of the U.S. troops stationed in Europe. Based on his support for the P L O and on his past anti-Semitic remarks, one must wonder to what extent Jackson will honor...
...arrested during the first week, but the number is likely to grow. A test program at the San Ysidro border crossing near San Diego has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests since it began in December 1986. The national program will adopt the San Diego approach, in which suspects are charged with both illegal importation of drugs, a felony, and simple possession, a misdemeanor. Most are then offered a deal: if they plead guilty to the misdemeanor, the Government will drop the felony count and the magistrate will grant deferred prosecution, which means that the suspect's record will...
