...other Islamic militants, or mujahedin, who had come to help their Muslim brothers - by making items like boobytrapped ice-cream cones and exploding toys. Soon after returning to Bosnia last September, Sylvester helped uncover a plot to attack the U.S. and British embassies and then presided over the arrest and deportation to Guantanamo Bay of six Algerian-born suspects. "These are hard-core Islamic networks which are using Bosnia - because of its weak rule of law and porous borders - to prepare new attacks," Sylvester said. Charities, including those carrying out honorable programs, provide ideal cover, he said. A search...
...ruling National Front coalition. An hour later, officials said he had changed his mind after protests from other senior politicians. Opponents labelled Mahathir's announcement, made live on national TV from the annual UMNO conference, a "desperate attempt to fish sympathy and votes." CHINA Cyber Fire Police arrested two teenage boys for starting a fire that killed 24 people and injured 13 others at an unlicensed Internet café.

But the Israelis say that despite those comments, they still see no evidence that Arafat's forces are moving against the militants...
...movie usher in high school. After impressing an MCA executive while promoting talent for a Cleveland nightclub, Wasserman was hired and went on to represent such clients as Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Stewart. Fiercely protective of his stars, Wasserman kept Clark Gable's drunk-driving arrest and Betty Grable's premarital pregnancy out of the papers. He revolutionized the film business, breaking the hold of studio contracts that locked up actors, embracing television and, with Jaws, inaugurating the summer blockbuster. Wasserman's power began to wane when MCA was sold to Matsushita...
