...between the two men, with sharp words exchanged at the time of JonBenet's funeral. White was reportedly enraged that the Ramseys didn't seem to be fully cooperating with police. For his part, Ramsey has reportedly viewed White with some suspicion. Boulder cops ruled him out as a suspect early, but district attorney ALEX HUNTER was not so quick to completely clear him, and relations further soured when White wrote Governor ROY ROMER, urging him to replace Hunter with a special prosecutor. "Fleet is anxious to testify and tell his story," says an acquaintance. "He's just been waiting...
ISLAMABAD: The front line of Washington's pursuit of the East African embassy bombers appears to have moved to Pakistan, because of that country's proximity to Afghanistan and the base of "prime suspect" Osama Bin Laden. About 200 U.S. personnel were evacuated from Pakistan Tuesday in response to threats of retaliation following last week's arrest and deportation to Kenya of a potential suspect in the bombing.

While his declared goal is the overthrow of the Saudi monarchy, bin Laden's bitterness toward the U.S. is just as strong. "All Muslims," he said last May, "must declare jihad against...
...early morning swoop in the town of Omagh Monday, except that they were wanted in connection with the most bloody terrorist attack in the territory's recent history. The perpetrators of Saturday's car-bomb attack that killed 28 people and wounded 220 are unknown, although police suspect a Republican splinter group that calls itself the Real IRA. But why would they plant a bomb in a mostly Catholic town? And was the most horrific part of the atrocity -- that a misleading telephone warning led people to be standing right at the spot where the explosion took place -- a mistake...
