A Palestinian suicide bomber was stopped by police, walking in to this Israeli
shopping mall. One witness said he had a 'cold look in his eyes.' He reached
the explosives strapped to his waist, and blew himself up.
The dozens of wounded overwhelmed the local hospital...again. This
seaside town, so near to Palestinian territory, has been targetted over and over.

There is only one address where the responsibility lies - Mr. Arafat and
all the gang around him: the Palestinian authority.'
Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority condemned the attack, but his
officials blamed Israel for stoking Arab anger --
Israel was quick to retaliate, shelling Palestinian targets just hours later.
The White House, still somewhat reluctant to get involved, is calling for the cycle to stop.

The government handed over 200 pages of documents to Neely today, long after they were due.

An attorney from the F-B-I's General Counsel's Office was called before the bench today in an attempt to hold the Bureau accountable for the delay in handing over information in Neely's case.
Shawn O'Neill said a lot of the information was at the F-B-I's Richmond field office.
Judge Kiser said that "explanation has a familiar ring to it," referring to F-B-I Director Louis Freeh's comments to Congress Wednesday.
Freeh said the Bureau had not handed over documents in Timothy McVeigh's case because the F-B-I field offices had not sent them in to headquarters.

[SUPER=03-Danville/Big South Tournament; :00]
We pick up the action in the second inning as Luke Johnson drives in the first run of the game with the sacrifice fly to right field. The Chanticleers take the one to nothing advantage.
Later in the inning, Jon Humay walks on the play. For some reason the catcher throws down to second base, but no one is home for the errant relay and the runner Chris Carter will come all the way around and score to make it 2-to-nothing.
In the third inning, Carter will again make his presence felt - as he smacks one into right field to chase home Justin Owens from third base. That turned out to be the winning run.
But Coastal would add some insurance with Adam Keim putting the ball in left.
