Major influenza outbreak hits Illinois towns
Unloved but feared bug spreads through Illinois from northeast to south causing fever, sore throats and nausea. Officials call it a major outbreak not an epidemic. Hospitals report high emergency room traffic as workers and students miss days. State health officials monitor two influenza strains, Type A Victoria and Type A Texas, in surveillance cities including Belleville.

Palestine dissidents blamed in PLO killing
A PLO leader said to be close to Yasir Arafat, Said Hammami, was assassinated in Western Europe. His body was flown to Beirut for a military funeral, with Syrian peacekeeping forces restricting access to the arrival area, as Palestinian militants protested and tension rose after the London office murder.
