...several false identity cards alongside his Canadian passport in the name of Benni Noris, but the well of his car trunk revealed a chilling cache: 10 plastic bags loaded with 118 lbs. of urea, two 22-oz. jars three-fourths full of a volatile liquid similar to nitroglycerine and four small boxes containing circuit boards connecting Casio watches to 9-volt detonating devices. The man trying to enter the U.S. 17 days before the millennium was carrying enough explosive material to take out the Seattle Space Needle. He was also carrying a plane ticket to London, via New York. Target...

The decision is the fourth in recent months to bar the use of vouchers in parochial schools, and voucher opponents--mainly teachers...
...Heightened fears of terrorist strikes at the New Year have prompted a worldwide preemptive clampdown on suspected terrorists. A joint NYPD-FBI anti-terrorism task force arrested four men in Brooklyn Thursday on charges contained in a sealed indictment. One of the men has been linked with Ressam by phone records. U.S. officials have also supplied information to help governments abroad round up hundreds of suspected terrorists. Unless specific evidence emerges as a basis for trial, most are expected to be released early in the New Year. France used similar sweeping preemptive arrests in 1998 to successfully forestall GIA plans...
