AIDE SUSPENDED OVER ANTI-SEMITIC REMARKS

Chastened by expressions of disapproval from the Congressional Black Caucus and the U.S. Senate, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan Farrakhan suspended a top aide Thursday for making what he called "repugnant" and "mean-spirited" remarks about Jews.

But the controversial black leader modified his rebuke of Khalid Abdul Muhammad by insisting: "I stand by the truths that he spoke." He then accused the Jewish Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and Vice President Al Gore - both of whom had criticized Muhammad's remarks - of being anti-black.
