(LOCATOR: YESTERDAY, LOS ANGELES)
With the country under the threat of a terrorist attack on Independence
Day, the man now identified as Mohammed Hadayet walked into the terminal
for Israeli airline El Al with two pistols and a hunting knife...then
opened fire.
SOT: Unnamed Witness
"Pow...pow...pow...it kept going on about 10 or 12 shots that's what I
heard."
Panic swept through the terminal as travelers dove for cover. A ticket
agent and a passenger were killed before two El Al security guards
struggled with Hadayet and shot him to death.
SOT: Unnamed Witness
"He was beating the guy up, a few seconds later a security guard came up
and shot the guy at really close range."
Hadayet, an Egyptian national, also went by the last name Ali. He
carried two California driver's licenses, one of them listed July 4 as
his birthday. Last night police raided his apartment. Neighbors said
Hadayet ran a car service and his wife and two children had gone to
Egypt for the summer.
Family members of the victims are still in shock.
SOT: Victim's Family Member:
"We love him very much, we're going to miss him."
Passenger Yaakov Aminov and ticket agent Victoria Hen were gunned down
in the attack. Aminov left behind eight children and a pregnant wife.
Police are calling the shootings an isolated incident but some family
members are not convinced.
SOT: Aminov's Brother in Law
"This is a terrorist attack. They're hitting us back at home, now
they're hitting us over here."

She went under and didn't come up.
Otey was declared dead at the Bedford hospital.

destroyed more than two-thousand years ago.
Some Jews here believe it means, their saviour is

"It's written in what's known as Kaballah, Jewish holy
books, that - in the age of time - when water is

There is another explanation for this, but its a lot

happened, it came from a plumbing problem in the

By past experience - we would suggest that this is
caused by some physical problem with one of the pipes,

The world's biggest maze opened to the public today.
The 16- acre attraction was developed by using global positioning satellites.
The labyrinth has three entwined mazes, each more difficult to complete than the last.
The final level is said to be virtually impossible -- though a
refreshment stand has been set up for those who do make it.
It took three years to design, despite the major effort in building it, the maze will be short- lived.
In September, it'll close so that the crop can be harvested.
