ATHENS: The United States apparently stands to pay a penalty for its diplomatic handiwork in bringing a recent Greek-Turkish standoff to an end. Friday, police blamed the Greek nationalist terror group November 17 for a missile attack on the U.S. Embassy in Athens that barely missed its target. "Until now no organization has claimed responsibility," the anti-terrorism department said in a statement. "But the action and the material used point directly to November 17."

King Fahd of Saudi Arabia temporarily handed ruling authority over the world's biggest oil-producing state to his half brother Crown Prince Abdullah. Fahd, in his 70s, overweight and diabetic, suffered a stroke in November. The Crown Prince, while more of a traditionalist and an Arab nationalist than the King, is not likely to divert Saudi Arabia from its pro-American course. Meanwhile, Britain ordered the deportation to Dominica in the Caribbean of Mohammed al Mass'ari, a vocal critic of Saudi Arabia's royal family. Saudi Arabia had threatened to curtail trade, including military purchases, unless London silenced...
