The F-B-I is checking out a possible new clue in the bombing of a U-S
barracks in Saudi Arabia.
An Air Force official says a Saudi woman had a run-in with the driver of a
suspicious truck near the installation two weeks before the attack.
Saudi police have a record, including a license number.
Meantime, security is getting tighter at the bombing site.
Huge concrete barriers have been moved closer to some of the housing on the
base.
Mark Phillips has more.

((
The American housing complex at Dhahran was never designed with security
in mind-- in fact sitting exposed in the desert, it's a terrorist's drean
target.
American authorities had been trying to make it safer even before last week's
bombing by moving this security fencing further away from the buildings.
But the Saudis had objected because it would turn a parking lot and a
playground into a buffer zone and encroach on a new mosque they're building.
Keeping Americans away from Saudis is a major priority here.
BRIG GEN TERRY SCHWALIER:WE WANTED IT TO BE MOVED BACK PROBABLY ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THE PARKING LOT IS
WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR THAT SEEMED TO BE THE MOST CONVENIENT PLACE BECAUSE
IT IS A PUBLIC AREA ON THE OTHER SIDE."
And what was the Saudi response?
"Again it was a public area and initial...no."
Now, finally, a new row of low concrete barriers has been installed.
And patrols have been increased along the perimeter. But is the base now
safe? Not according it its new head of security.
MAH BOB DEWALD:WELL WE ALL KNOW ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE. WE'RE NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE TO 100 PERCENT GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF THIS BASE ANYTIME OR ANY
BASE IN THE WORLD ANYWHERE. I'M CONVINCED SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE WEDENSDAY THAT
WE'VE GOTTEN COOPERATION FOR SECURITY TO MOVE THE BARRIERS BACK TO WHAT WE
THINK IS A SAFE DISTANCE."
American and Saudi authorities are aruging-- mostly through the media now--
about who asked what security measures when.
It's all a large embarrassment
when the official line is that both countries are cooperating both in future
security requirements and in the investigation into this bombing. Mark
