Hamas leader criticizes Clinton visit in Gaza rally
Hamas spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin denounces Clinton as an enemy and says the visit aims to destroy Palestinian unity. At a Gaza City rally for Hamas’s 11th anniversary, 10000 supporters cheered as Yassin was aided by a wheelchair-bound convoy through the crowd. Fatah figures called Clinton’s visit supportive, while Yassin urged PA to free Hamas inmates and crack down on corruption. Bin Laden urged Muslims to kill Americans and Britons in response to U.S. actions in Iraq.

Panama eyes canal as key to prosperity
Panama moves to run the canal after 1999 with optimism about broader growth. Officials plan ports at Balboa and Cristobal, a tourism push, and new manufacturing and banking hubs, despite doubts about reliability and revenue loss from U.S. troop withdrawals. Investors commit over $1 billion to canal zone projects.
