...fashioned detective work that is rounding up the bin Laden devotees accused of carrying out the attacks. Last week the FBI delivered two suspects in the Kenya bombing to a New York City federal court. Mohammed Rashed Daoud al-'Owhali, who was riding in the truck packed with explosives, was nabbed by FBI agents who had been checking Nairobi hospitals for a suspect who might have come in after the Aug. 7 blast. Mohammed Saddiq Odeh, accused of helping plan the bombing, was delivered by Pakistani police who caught him slipping into their country with a suspicious passport...
...aftermath of Clinton's speech. (In a stroke of luck for the President, Congress is on summer recess, its members dispersed across the country and the world.) House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, celebrating his 32nd anniversary with his wife in France, declined CNN's offer to dispatch a satellite truck so he could appear on Larry King Live. His Senate counterpart, Tom Daschle, was spending the week cruising around his home state of South Dakota, alone and, as one aide emphasized, "out of cell-phone range."

Metal bits, perhaps from the mystery carrier but also from two dozen cars near the embassy, were scattered widely. A witness told the FBI she saw a man with a small black device, like a remote control for a detonator, climb out of a car near the embassy and look repeatedly at his watch. Evidence to date suggests the bomb may have been in a light truck parked behind the water carrier...
...woman who rented the mansion's carriage house said last week that she suspected something rotten "from the second day I lived here," and that not all the chaps who mistakenly came to her door looking for afternoon delights were well scrubbed. "One guy got out of a pickup truck," she said. As the woman spoke, Dempsey, who was released on her own recognizance, happened to pull up in her Jaguar. "You've got something to say?" Dempsey yelled at the tenant. "You'll have plenty to say on the 15th!" As Dempsey drove off, the trembling woman said...
