Van linked to Harrington found at Gaithersburg mall
A two tone brown van owned by David Harrington, a Germantown man charged with three counts of child sexual abuse, sat in Lakeforest Mall Lot Gaithersburg for days prompting a nationwide manhunt after police alerted the FBI. Harrington, once a private high school principal, allegedly abused three Montgomery County youths aged 14 and 15. Police noted he fled death hoax 17 years earlier and withdrew thousands after bond set at 10000, as officials call for stricter background checks on child supervision roles.

Shamir rejects probe into Pollard spy case in Israel
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said two Israeli officials tied to the Pollard espionage affair have already been punished and no further investigation is needed. The Cabinet voted to send ministerial debate over the spy case to a secret inner committee, drawing criticism from ministers who pressed for a judicial inquiry. Israel Radio said the move ended any chance for an independent probe. Shamir, of Likud, told lawmakers the affair was investigated enough and that Pollard, a former U.S. Navy analyst, was part of a rogue ring acting on its own. Col. Aviem Sella lost a potential Air Force command chance due to alleged involvement.
