[SUPER=03-Istanbul, Turkey;]

Israeli officials say an Arab-Israeli man accused of trying to hijack an El Al flight bound for Turkey was not armed with a knife when he allegedly attacked a flight attendant.
There were earlier allegations that he had tried to take over the plane, and attempted to break into the cockpit.
Undercover security guards overpowered the man and the plane landed safely.
Turkish news reports say the suspect told officials he was trying to ``create fear'' to protest Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

A new study says the Star City's homeless problem may be growing. The Roanoke Valley Task Force on Homelessness says the valley's typical homeless person is a 42-year-old white male. The person also calls Roanoke home, smokes, doesn't have a car, and eats three meals a day in shelters. While these results are similar to those from a 2000 survey, Roanoke's human services coordinator says the need appears to have increased this fall.

((Despite outward appearances of a White House that is on message - speaking with one voice - investigative reporter Bob Woodward reveals a White House deeply divided along operational if not ideological lines. Woodward was given extraordinary access - drawing on more than four hours of interviews with the president.. as well as White House and National Security Council meetings for his new book.. "Bush at War".
What emerges is an internal battle... Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumfeld poised to attack Saddam unilaterally....Secretary of State Colin Powell urging an international approach with a first eye toward diplomacy.
In an interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace... Woodward says Powell was frequently frustrated at being reined in - and having his views kept out of the media spotlight.

(SOT/Bob Woodward)
Powell would privately tell his deputy, Richard Armitage, that 'I'm in the refrigerator, I'm in the ice box. They've got me put away and they'll pull me out like a carton of milk when they need me and then put me back.Often they called on Powell to carry out their message, but sometimes, into the refrigerator he went.
(Wallace ?) For political reasons or because it would have offended, or
been at odds with Rumsfeld and Cheney?
(Woodward) Yes, to all of the above.

(NARR #2)
For the moment, Powell is once again out of 'the icebox'... having successfully brokered the unanimously approved UN resolution... demanding that Iraq let the weapons inspectors back in.
Woodward also paints a picture of a tough and stubborn President Bush. When officials feared late last year that a radioactive dirty bomb might be within range of the White House... Woodward reports... the president refused to leave.))
