Wednesday, May 22, 2002 - WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., accused the Mexican army Tuesday of staging a "military incursion" Friday night into southern Arizona that ended with Mexican soldiers firing shots at a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle.

ASHINGTON, April 22 — The White House cut 93 percent of a recent request by the secretary of energy for money to improve the security of nuclear weapons and waste, according to a letter from the secretary. The secretary, Spencer Abraham, said in the March 14 letter to Mitchell E.

The money, for guarding nuclear weapons, weapons materials and radioactive waste under the Energy Department's supervision, was...

The system would eventually include hundreds of cameras, linking existing devices in Metro mass transit stations, public schools and traffic intersections to new digital cameras mounted to watch over neighborhoods and shopping districts, the Journal said. "In the context of Sept. 11, we have no choice but to accept greater use of this ...

(AP) Iraqi forces are believed to have fired a mortar that landed near a U.N. patrol and observation post on the Kuwaiti side of the border, a spokesman for the international observers said Monday. The firing took place Sunday morning and nobody was hurt, Daljeet Bagga told The Associated Press. He said the 82mm mortar made a "small crater" in the ground and a cloud of smoke billowing from the site attracted a Kuwaiti police patrol. The angle of the trajectory "indicated it could have been fired from Safwan inside Iraq," the spokesman for the United Nations Iraq-Kuwait Observation ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI and CIA believe extremists in the United States, not followers of Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, are probably behind this month's anthrax attacks, the Washington Post reported on Saturday. Senior officials also are increasingly concerned the germ warfare agent attacks have diverted public attention from the larger threat posed by bin Laden and his al Qaeda network, the paper said. They believe the main suspect in the hijacked plane strikes on America on Sept. 11 is planning a second wave of attacks against U.S. interests at home or abroad that could come at any time, the ...
