((
The guilty plea came in a Manhattan courtroom -- giving prosecutors what
they wanted -- and investigators more amunition in the fight against
suspected terrorist, Osama bin Laden.
A former US Amy sergeant -- Ali Mohamed -- told a judge he helped
Bin Laden plan the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa that
killed 224 people -- 12 of them American.
"My name is Ali Mohamed, I am a foreign Egyptian officer.."
Shown in this US Army training tape -- Mohamed spent three years
in the service, teaching special forces units about Muslim culture --
--even getting top billing in this film on "Perspectives in the
Middle East."
Mohamed is the first person to plead guilty in connection with the
embassy bombings -- and one of the first to give such a detailed account
of bin Laden's central role in what he called a massive conspiracy to
target US military installations and embassies worlwide.
That could include last week's attack on the USS Cole in a Mideast
port where bin Laden had made several recent threats, which until last
Thursday had not been realized.
As another of the Cole's victims was buried at Arlington National
cemetery -- the Navy was changing the timleine of the explosion, which
could have a crucial impact on the investigation.
The Navy Times quotes a source as saying the blast took place AFTER
the ship was moored, not BEFORE -- which means there should have been no
small boats anywhere near the ship at the time of the blast.
COWAN:
"The American intelligence community remains focused on Osama bin Laden
as the prime suspect -- but there is little they can do. Allready
indicted for the embassy attacks -- he still remains out of reach. Lee
Cowan, CBS News, Washington."))

(( It is in a dizzing array of over the counter products -- from
degongestants to appetite supressants -- with more than 6 million doses
sold last year alone.
But today, a panel of scientific experts is recommending the FDA
ban the 50 year old ingredient, out of fear it may cause stokes.
(SOT/JULIE JOHNSON, FDA 7:09:09:03)
"The panel felt it was really too high of risk to allow it to be on the
market."
A five year, $5 million dollar study by Yale scientists, found that
Phenylpropanalomine -- otherwise known as PPA -- could increase the risk
of a rare but devastating kind of stroke, especially in young women who
were first time users.
Although the risk IS small, doctors say the product could not longer
be considered generally safe -- and may be responsible for as many as
200 to 500 strokes a year.
(SOT/JULIE JOHNSON, FDA 7:07:57)
"It really a rare event so the data suggested that using PPA would
increase that risk by 50 percent."
(NARR:)
PPA has been under scrutiny for years -- but despite the worries --
FDA allowed the product to stay on the market because the studies were
inconclusive.
Some say that is STILL the case -- that the study was flawed
containing too few patients and not enough controls to be statistically
significant.
(COWAN ON CAM:)
"But in making its decision, the FDA will not only consider this most
recent study, but it's own data as well. In the meantime, some doctors
are cautioning patients that if there is an alternative, use it. Lee
