SWEDEN Loaded Gun A court in Sweden's capital Stockholm remanded Kerim Chatty in custody until Sept. 16 on suspicion of aggravated firearms offences and conspiring to hijack an airliner. If found guilty, the 29-year-old Swedish citizen faces a maximum term of life in prison. Chatty, whose father is Tunisian, was caught trying to board a flight to Britain with a loaded 6.5-mm pistol in his hand luggage. The case against Chatty was presented to Chief Prosecutor Thomas Haggstrom, who said: "What we still need is a motive." Chatty has a criminal record that includes an assault...

On hearing the charges, International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge pronounced himself shocked and said it was possible the results of the ice-dance competition would be recalculated. "We will rule out nothing," he declared. Yet the suspicion lingers that the skating establishment protects its own. One month after being suspended for his role in the disputed pairs result in Salt Lake, Didier Gailhaguet was re-elected head of the French skating federation...
...owns the Palace Club on the Tongduchon strip, has himself been accused of trafficking in women. In Aug. 1999, police issued an arrest warrant for him on suspicion he brought more than 1,000 Filipina and Russian women into Korea to work as bar girls around U.S. military bases. Kim says he followed legal procedures. A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case...
