Saudi seeks to suppress confession in embassy bombing trial
A Saudi suspect in the 1998 Nairobi and Dar es Salaam embassy bombings asked a judge to exclude his confession, claiming U S interrogators threatened to hang him. Moha med Rashed Daoud Al Owhali says the statements were coerced, while prosecutors contend the confession remains pivotal to a terrorism conspiracy trial. The closed hearing may influence jury selection and potential death sentences for Al Owhali and co defendants Khalfan Mohamed. The bombings killed 224 people and injured thousands, with bin Laden linked to the plot.

The plan credits farmers up to 25 cents per bushel for tainted corn and reimburses other losses while not preventing further lawsuits. StarLink corn had not been approved for human food and was withdrawn after recalls affected taco shells and other products.
