[0:03] What time

[0:04] >> on World News Tonight this Thursday?

[0:11] >> The embassy bombings. American victims

[0:13] return home as two eyewitnesses provide

[0:16] what could be crucial evidence. American

[0:19] farmers struggling to survive, fighting

[0:22] drought, a global economic crisis, even

[0:24] a plague of insects. Tonight's closer

[0:26] look. and space travel for the price of

[0:29] a new car. Riding the laser highway into

[0:32] orbit, it's technology on the cutting

[0:34] edge.

[0:41] >> From ABC News World Headquarters in New

[0:44] York, this is World News Tonight with

[0:47] Peter Jennings. Sitting in tonight,

[0:50] Charles Gibson.

[0:52] >> Good evening. Major developments tonight

[0:54] in the investigation into the embassy

[0:56] bombings. eyewitness accounts of the

[0:58] attack and new information about what

[1:00] the bombs were made of. In an 8-hour

[1:02] meeting with investigators, two Kenyan

[1:04] security guards stationed at the US

[1:07] embassy in Nairobi have given vivid

[1:09] descriptions of the moments before the

[1:11] blast. Those descriptions could provide

[1:13] crucial insight into exactly how the

[1:15] bombing was carried out and maybe even

[1:18] the people who did it. We talked to

[1:20] those guards today. ABC's Morton Dean

[1:22] reports from Nairobi.

[1:25] I

[1:25] >> The two private guards say they had a

[1:28] close-up view of the attack. So close

[1:30] that they were able to provide the FBI

[1:32] with a composite picture of one of the

[1:34] terrorists.

[1:35] >> I was given different photographs.

[1:40] So

[1:41] from those photographs

[1:44] I was able to

[1:46] describe

[1:48] one that was similar to the man who came

[1:51] to attack me. I suspect him to be an

[1:53] Arab.

[1:54] >> The two guards were on duty at the rear

[1:56] of the embassy. Guard Jomo Bokeh noticed

[1:59] a pickup truck with a Dubai license

[2:02] plate jumping a curb while heading

[2:04] towards the embassy garage.

[2:06] >> The driver was sitting like this and

[2:08] they have a pistol shooting embass

[2:11] windows.

[2:12] >> Jomo yelled to his colleague Benson Baku

[2:15] who was guarding a gate near the garage.

[2:17] >> Benson danger Benson danger. Bomb.

[2:21] Report to base. Report to base.

[2:23] >> Venson tried to halt the pickup, a

[2:26] Mitsubishi caner, in which he saw two

[2:28] men. The passenger jumped out. He was

[2:31] armed with hand grenades.

[2:33] >> He put the the the hands in the pocket,

[2:36] pull out the object at the same time

[2:39] said to me, "Open the gate."

[2:41] >> As he dodged a thrown grenade, Benson

[2:44] said he tried to alert a US Marine

[2:46] command post inside the embassy. I said,

[2:48] "Best, best terrorism, terrorism."

[2:50] >> He says there was too much routine

[2:52] traffic on the radio circuit. And the

[2:54] Marines did not hear the warning. Within

[2:57] seconds, the big bomb exploded. ABC News

[3:01] has learned that investigators have

[3:03] found both in Nairobi and in Tanzania

[3:06] traces of ammonium nitrate, and fuel

[3:08] oil, which they believe were used to

[3:10] build the bombs. Both substances are

[3:13] commercially available and that could

[3:15] help investigators determine where they

[3:17] were bought and who bought them. Morton

[3:20] Dean, ABC News, Nairobi.

[3:23] The bodies of 10 of the American victims

[3:26] came home to the United States today.

[3:28] One more was flown home separately to

[3:29] Florida. Another is to be buried in

[3:31] Kenya. The 10 today were brought back to

[3:34] Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

[3:36] ABC's Sam Donaldson was there.

[3:44] 10 hours and 18 minutes for the C17 from

[3:46] Germany to Andrews Air Force Base. 10

[3:49] hours to US soil for the 10 coffins on

[3:51] board.

[3:53] And there in hangar 3, which usually

[3:55] houses presidential aircraft, officials

[3:57] of the government, of the Foreign

[3:59] Diplomatic Corps, of the State

[4:01] Department, and members of the families

[4:03] of 11 of the victims were assembled.

[4:06] The flag draped coffins escorted by an

[4:09] all service honor guard were brought in

[4:11] and placed in individual hearses. The

[4:13] names were read over a loudspeaker and

[4:16] Michelle Oconor.

[4:18] >> Earlier, President and Mrs. Clinton had

[4:20] met with each family separately behind

[4:22] closed doors. Reportedly, there were

[4:24] tears and expressions of pride for the

[4:27] service and sacrifice of the dead. And

[4:30] from the podium, the Secretary of State,

[4:32] who had flown with the bodies from

[4:33] Germany, expressed a sense of outrage

[4:36] over what had happened.

[4:37] >> Make no mistake, terror is the tool of

[4:39] cowards. It is not a form of political

[4:43] expression and certainly not a

[4:45] manifestation of religious faith. It is

[4:48] murder, plain and simple.

[4:50] >> And from the president, a sense of

[4:52] unremitting pursuit of the killers. No

[4:55] matter what it takes,

[4:57] we must find those responsible for these

[5:00] evil acts and see that justice is done.

[5:05] >> And a sense of resolve not to be

[5:07] intimidated by terrorists.

[5:09] >> America will not retreat from the world

[5:12] and all its promise. We owe it to those

[5:16] we honor today.

[5:19] As it is written,

[5:22] their righteous deeds have not been

[5:23] forgotten.

[5:25] Their glory will not be blotted out.

[5:28] Their bodies were buried in peace, but

[5:32] their names shall live forever. From

[5:36] Andrews Air Force Base, the bodies were

[5:38] flown to the Air Force base at Dover,

[5:40] Delaware for dispatched to their

[5:42] individual hometowns.

[5:44] >> And so, one phase of this tragedy is

[5:46] over. the moment of shared national

[5:48] grief led by the president. But US

[5:50] officials are busily preparing for the

[5:52] next phase, the pursuit and punishment

[5:54] of the bombers. They say it's important

[5:56] for justice and as a warning to future

[5:58] wouldbe terrorists. They know it won't

[6:00] be easy, Charlie, but officials here are

[6:02] citing the old saying, "Where there's a

[6:04] will, there's a way." All right, Sam

[6:07] Donaldson at the White House. Thanks

[6:08] very much. Of course, Kenya is in

[6:10] mourning as well today at memorial

[6:12] services like this one in Nairobi.

[6:14] People tried to come to grips with their

[6:17] losses.

[6:23] >> And scenes like this are being played

[6:25] out all over Kenya. In just a moment,

[6:28] we'll have the day's other news. A

[6:29] heated face off in Iraq televised for

[6:32] the world to see. Is this Saddam

[6:34] Hussein's latest propaganda campaign?

[6:36] And the crisis on the farm. Global

[6:39] problems spelling big trouble in the

[6:40] heartland. We'll take a closer look.

[6:46] This is World News Tonight with Peter

[6:48] Jennings, brought to you by Just for

[6:50] Men.

[6:53] >> I thought you were starting to go gray.

[6:55] >> I was, but I never did.

[6:57] >> So, what happened? A miracle.

[6:59] >> You can't tell. Tell what?

[7:01] >> I used Just for Men. That's hair color.

[7:04] >> Even your barber can't tell you use the

[7:06] hair coloring called Just for Men.

[7:08] Simply shampoo in, then rinse. In only 5

[7:11] minutes. This unique Just for Men

[7:13] formula blends away the gray. Actually

[7:15] matches your gray to your real color. I

[7:18] never would have guessed. Just for men.

[7:20] So natural even your barber can't tell.

[7:23] >> Tell the truth. Do you soak your

[7:25] dentures every day? No. Takes too long.

[7:27] Well, Polyadin works in just 5 minutes.

[7:30] So it's easy to clean every day. And

[7:32] that's what really helps control denture

[7:34] odor. Use 5minute Polyant every day.

[7:39] Good morning, America. How are you?

[7:42] >> America's favorite overnight relief

[7:44] announces new XLax with Senna, a natural

[7:47] active ingredient.

[7:48] >> Good morning, America.

[7:50] >> Still works overnight and four out of

[7:52] five users agree it's gentle. New XLax,

[7:56] so dependable, it's guaranteed.

[7:58] >> Good morning, America. How are you?

[8:02] >> New XLax with natural setup.

[8:05] >> Good morning, America. guaranteed.

[8:10] >> UN weapons inspectors have been shut out

[8:12] of Iraq for more than a week now. Today,

[8:14] a special UN envoy was in Baghdad urging

[8:17] the Iraqis to resume cooperation with

[8:19] inspectors, but the answer was no. In

[8:22] fact, the Iraqis are actually boasting

[8:24] of their defiance of the UN by

[8:26] circulating an inflammatory videotape.

[8:29] It shows what was supposed to be a

[8:31] private diplomatic meeting. Here's ABC's

[8:33] Antonio Mora.

[8:35] Every night this week when Iraqis turned

[8:37] on their TVs, they could see this.

[8:41] >> Mr. Butler, you are not prepared to do

[8:43] what you should do.

[8:45] >> This is footage of a tense standoff

[8:47] between Iraq's deputy prime minister,

[8:49] Tariq Aziz, and the UN's chief weapons

[8:51] inspector, Richard Butler, at talks that

[8:53] broke down in Baghdad last week.

[8:56] >> 7 years you have been working in this

[8:58] country.

[9:00] Inspections, intrusions, spying. I came

[9:04] to these talks on the assumption that we

[9:08] were here to do serious work. And

[9:11] notwithstanding the theater to which

[9:13] we've just been exposed, I continue I

[9:16] will continue to make that assumption.

[9:18] >> The broadcasts seem to be a propaganda

[9:20] blitz intended to show Iraqis how their

[9:23] leaders are standing up to the UN. You

[9:26] >> you always speak in

[9:29] an imperial pompous manner that we

[9:32] decide.

[9:34] We decide what is right and what's

[9:37] wrong. We decide what's enough and

[9:39] what's not enough and you forget

[9:43] that you are not an imperial force.

[9:46] >> The Iraqis have provided tapes of these

[9:48] exchanges to governments around the

[9:49] world, including some members of the UN

[9:51] Security Council. The Iraqis appear not

[9:53] to be concerned that the tapes show them

[9:56] openly flaunting their agreement to

[9:58] allow weapons inspections. Ambassador

[10:00] Butler's request for a document got this

[10:03] response.

[10:03] >> My answer is no. It is none of your

[10:06] business.

[10:07] >> And the tone of the meeting never got

[10:09] better.

[10:10] >> I assume that concludes our meeting.

[10:13] >> Yes. Is there anything in

[10:15] >> No, I have nothing else.

[10:16] >> Antonio Mora, ABC News at the United

[10:18] Nations.

[10:20] One of the other big worries for the US

[10:22] overseas is the Russian economy. Trading

[10:24] on the Russian stock exchange was halted

[10:26] today for the second time this week

[10:28] after huge losses. Russians called it

[10:30] Black Thursday. It's been a bad year on

[10:33] the Russian markets. Since January,

[10:34] Russian stocks have lost 75% of their

[10:37] value. And this month, the meltdown just

[10:40] accelerated. On Wall Street today, the

[10:42] chaos in the Russian markets was causing

[10:44] worries among investors. The Dow Jones

[10:46] Industrials lost more than 93 points to

[10:48] close at 8459. On the NASDAQ market,

[10:51] stocks were down a little under 23

[10:53] points. When we come back, with the

[10:55] economy so strong, why are farmers

[10:58] suffering so much? Tonight's closer

[11:00] look.

[11:07] It's the most wonderful time of the It's

[11:11] that time of year again.

[11:14] They're going back.

[11:18] It's back to school time at Staples.

[11:22] Over 7,000 supplies at guaranteed low

[11:25] prices. It's the most wonderful time of

[11:29] the year.

[11:32] Steak. Yeah, we've got that.

[11:36] My mama, she makes the best chicken

[11:38] catchuri this side of it. Yeah, the

[11:40] best. But sometimes I get heartburn for

[11:42] my mama's catchi. So before I come over,

[11:45] I take a peps at AC. Forgive me, mama.

[11:58] >> Before a meal or after, Pepsid let you

[12:00] eat the food you love.

[12:03] >> You can be heartburn free with Pepsi AC.

[12:07] >> Honey,

[12:09] is there any other chicken catch to

[12:11] left?

[12:11] >> Look in the freezer.

[12:27] The amazing Hefty OneZip Food Bag. It

[12:29] clicks closed to lock in freshness. Ice

[12:32] cream.

[12:34] >> OneZip, the hefty duty food bag.

[12:37] >> Hey, you want a green light to eat like

[12:38] never before? I do. Healthy Choice has a

[12:41] whole menu of unbelievably delicious

[12:43] dishes. Incredible meals. New chicken

[12:45] stir fry with a crispy fried egg roll.

[12:48] Big hearty handful stuffed end to end

[12:50] with gooey cheese. My favorite, shrimp

[12:52] and vegetables with bow tie pasta and a

[12:54] creamy basil garlic sauce. Mhm.

[12:58] All around 5 g of fat. Five. There's no

[13:02] stopping me now. Healthy choice. Your

[13:04] green light to eat what you like.

[13:10] The great American statesman Daniel

[13:11] Webster once said that farmers are the

[13:14] founders of civilization so vital to the

[13:16] way we live. But now many American

[13:18] farmers are facing a crisis of survival.

[13:20] The searing heat and drought of near

[13:22] biblical proportions has devastated many

[13:24] farms in the south. The government is

[13:26] now forecasting a 24% drop in the cotton

[13:29] harvest. Even where crops are growing,

[13:31] and in some places they are the most

[13:33] plentiful in years, global economic

[13:35] problems are stifling any chance to cash

[13:37] in. Farmers are having an

[13:39] extraordinarily difficult time selling

[13:41] their goods overseas, and when they do

[13:43] sell them, they can't get a price to

[13:45] survive. ABC's Dean Reynolds reports

[13:48] from North Dakota.

[13:54] At the North Dakota State Fair in May,

[13:57] crowds flocked to the biggest attraction

[13:59] of all,

[14:01] the annual livestock show.

[14:03] >> Bring the cow over here.

[14:06] Troy and Sarah Wulmer had reason to

[14:08] celebrate. Their cattle won four awards,

[14:13] >> but their joy was muted by fears for

[14:15] their future.

[14:16] >> It's extremely discouraging at this

[14:18] point in time.

[14:19] >> Critically low market prices are pushing

[14:21] the Volmers near ruin.

[14:23] >> I want to be out at the farm, but in

[14:25] order for us to pay our bills, I have to

[14:27] go to town and I drive 60 miles one way

[14:30] to go to work every day.

[14:31] >> And forcing some very hard choices. Uh

[14:34] we'd like to have kids, but at this

[14:35] point we just can't afford them because

[14:37] of the fact that uh farming just doesn't

[14:39] make any money.

[14:42] >> In Vulga, South Dakota, Scott Vanderwal

[14:45] watches glumbly as cattle march into his

[14:47] feed lot. All the livestock here used to

[14:50] be his, but depressed cattle prices

[14:53] forced him to sell his herd for whatever

[14:54] he could get.

[14:55] >> Okay. 64.

[15:00] And now as a way to make some money, he

[15:02] feeds cattle that belong to others.

[15:05] >> It's a thing where you have to try to

[15:06] keep separate from it a little bit and

[15:08] make a sound business decision and let

[15:10] the dollars make the decision for you.

[15:12] >> This year, farmers from North Dakota to

[15:14] Texas are suffering through a summer of

[15:16] discontent

[15:18] >> that has thousands of them auctioning

[15:20] off their dreams.

[15:22] 25 $4,000.

[15:24] >> Just as the federal government is

[15:26] phasing out financial aid that protected

[15:28] farmers in the past comes drought in the

[15:30] Southwest, too much rain in the plains

[15:33] and Midwest,

[15:35] and insects by the zillions in Texas and

[15:38] Oklahoma. But virtually every farmer we

[15:40] talked to said the sudden drop in farm

[15:42] exports hurts the most. 40% of US farm

[15:46] production has been ticketed for export

[15:48] and a good share of those exports has

[15:50] been going to Asia. But with the

[15:52] continuing economic trouble there, Asia

[15:55] is buying a lot less. Which means that

[15:57] demand for US grain and livestock has

[16:00] fallen dramatically and driven down the

[16:03] price that American farmers were hoping

[16:04] to get for their goods.

[16:08] As the fevered commodity sales proceed

[16:10] at the Chicago Board of Trade, corn

[16:12] farmer Danny Walter watches the numbers

[16:15] in the quiet of Fairmont, North Dakota.

[16:17] >> I'll punch up the futures and go to

[16:19] grain futures quotes.

[16:21] >> Corn is selling at a price below what it

[16:23] costs him to grow it. Farmers have

[16:25] simply produced more than people want.

[16:27] >> When you have a good year, it's a bad

[16:30] year.

[16:30] >> Yeah. Well, you go look at the prices at

[16:32] the elevator, you'll see why it's why it

[16:34] can be a bad year with a bumper crop.

[16:38] At the grain elevator, the crops keep

[16:40] coming and the prices keep falling.

[16:42] Wheat and soybeans that might have gone

[16:44] to Japan or Indonesia down a dollar a

[16:47] bushel from last year. Corn that could

[16:49] have gone to Korea down 20% in 12

[16:52] months.

[16:54] And no one wants to talk very much about

[16:56] what happens after the harvest in

[16:58] October when the loans come due at the

[17:01] bank and the bills are waiting to be

[17:03] paid. Dean Reynolds, ABC News, Fairmont,

[17:06] North Dakota.

[17:08] >> So, what can be done? Well, some say the

[17:11] government has already made the crisis

[17:12] worse. Two years ago, President Clinton

[17:15] signed the Freedom to Farm Law. It cut

[17:17] back government regulations

[17:19] substantially, and farmers love that.

[17:21] But now, some are calling it the Freedom

[17:23] to Fail Law because it took away

[17:24] subsidies that can be a crucial safety

[17:26] net in tough times like these. And

[17:28] farmers hate that. Yesterday, President

[17:31] Clinton signed new legislation providing

[17:33] $5.5 billion in assistance to help get

[17:36] farmers through the autumn harvest.

[17:38] Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman

[17:40] called it a stay of execution.

[17:42] Interesting choice of words. In a

[17:45] moment, it could be the future of space

[17:47] travel, using light to fly. Technology

[17:50] on the cutting edge.

[17:57] Today, while Amanda Scott was with her

[18:00] students, someone else was negotiating

[18:02] with lenders about her mortgage. At

[18:04] noon, she was keeping order on the

[18:06] playground instead of meeting with a

[18:08] home inspector. At 3, she met with Annie

[18:11] Chun's parents instead of reviewing

[18:13] closing costs with her attorney. And

[18:15] while Amanda was planning tomorrow's

[18:17] lesson, someone else was tying up loose

[18:20] ends at her new home. You've got a life,

[18:22] we let you live it. We're realtors. Real

[18:25] estate is our life.

[18:28] One minute mocks.

[18:31] >> In hospitals, speed counts. Fast acting

[18:34] medicines, doctors rely on them. So when

[18:36] patients get heartburn, they get 1

[18:38] minute mocks. Not Pepsi AC. Mocks goes

[18:42] to work on stomach acid in 1 minute.

[18:44] Pepsid AC could take over 45 minutes to

[18:47] affect acid. 1 minute. Hospitals count

[18:51] on it. Shouldn't you?

[18:52] >> The number one choice for hospitals.

[18:54] It's not Pepsi AC. It's 1 minute.

[19:18] The all new Mitsubishi belong. Totally

[19:20] new styling. Nicely equipped at 17990.

[19:28] A neglected septic system is like a time

[19:30] bomb under your house. Diffuse it with

[19:33] maintenance and advanced formula septic

[19:35] treatment. It digests grease and paper

[19:37] and helps keep your system troublefree.

[19:39] Diffuse that time bomb. Use Riddex every

[19:42] month.

[19:44] >> Morning seems so much brighter after a

[19:46] good night's sleep. That's why I love my

[19:49] Tylenol PM. Sometimes I have trouble

[19:52] sleeping. Um, I used to worry about

[19:54] taking something. How would I feel in

[19:56] the morning? And then I tried Tylenol

[19:59] PM. It stops my pain and helps me sleep.

[20:04] So, in the morning, I'm rested,

[20:06] refreshed, ready to make the most of my

[20:09] day.

[20:10] >> Rest easy. It's Tylenol P.M.

[20:14] >> In Washington today, the first case

[20:16] before the Federal Trade Commission

[20:17] involving internet privacy rights. The

[20:20] FTC charged that Geio Cities, a website

[20:22] that allows people to put up their own

[20:24] website for free, sold personal

[20:27] information about its 2 million

[20:28] customers without their knowledge.

[20:31] Tonight, in our report on cutting edge

[20:33] technology, imagine everyday citizens

[20:35] going into orbit for not much more than

[20:38] the price of an around the world

[20:39] airplane ticket. It's a new way to fly,

[20:42] and they're already testing a model.

[20:44] Here's ABC's Judy Mueller.

[20:46] Imagine

[20:48] a highway to space.

[20:51] A highway made of light.

[20:53] >> Copy. Because I've got the laser armed.

[20:55] Uh, everything looks good here.

[20:58] >> These scientists at the White Sands

[20:59] Missile Range are in the process of

[21:01] building that highway. Within 5 years,

[21:04] they hope to have a huge laser that will

[21:05] send vehicles called Light Craft into

[21:08] orbit.

[21:09] >> 4 3 2 1.

[21:14] Light craft could deliver payloads into

[21:16] space for a fraction of the cost of

[21:17] conventional rockets because they don't

[21:19] have to carry heavy fuel. All that's

[21:21] needed is a huge laser on the ground.

[21:24] >> You can use it for thousands and

[21:26] thousands of flights for a uh a highway

[21:28] to to the sky,

[21:30] >> which makes it very cheap.

[21:31] >> Makes it very cheap.

[21:33] >> About $25,000 per launch compared to 40

[21:36] million for the launch of conventional

[21:38] rockets. uh essentially for the price of

[21:40] a new car, you can uh launch your own

[21:43] satellite and uh have it up there during

[21:46] the four years you're paying it off.

[21:49] >> The prototype is about 1/30th the size

[21:51] of the craft that will go into space. It

[21:53] has a mirror on the bottom to focus the

[21:55] light into a combustion chamber. Each

[21:57] test flight begins when its designer,

[21:59] Lake Marabau, sets the light craft

[22:01] spinning like a top to keep it stable

[22:02] for flight.

[22:04] >> All systems are go on the laser. The

[22:06] beam that bursts forth from this trailer

[22:08] at 20 pulses per second is directed by

[22:10] mirrors to the base of the light craft

[22:12] where the concentration of energy is

[22:13] high enough to form explosions of

[22:15] charged matter. Once the test is

[22:18] complete and the laser shut off, the

[22:19] light craft is retrieved to be used

[22:21] again.

[22:23] Testing of the light craft is still in

[22:24] the early stages. However, this could be

[22:27] the most revolutionary rocket science

[22:29] since Robert Goddard's pioneering work

[22:31] here in the same New Mexico desert in

[22:33] the 1920s.

[22:36] That work with conventional rockets made

[22:38] space travel possible. Laser propulsion

[22:41] will make it accessible.

[22:43] >> The real desire I have is to cut the

[22:46] cost to space for people so that

[22:49] everyone will be able to travel to space

[22:51] for the price of an airline ticket

[22:53] including you.

[22:53] >> Including me. Yeah, I want to be there.

[22:55] >> He might just make it. Mirabo predicts

[22:57] that goal can be reached in just 25

[23:00] years. Judy Mueller, ABC News, Whit

[23:02] Sands, New Mexico.

[23:05] News of a more traditional way to fly

[23:07] over the Indian Ocean. Steve Faucet has

[23:09] hit a critical point in his attempt to

[23:11] circle the world in a balloon. He has

[23:13] flown nearly 10,000 m, but the past two

[23:15] days his speed slowed dramatically.

[23:17] Faucet's handlers say if he can't catch

[23:19] a stronger wind by Saturday, he may have

[23:21] to quit and come down in Australia. In

[23:24] just a moment, names and memories.

[25:17] as they did in Kenya last Friday, we get

[25:19] a list of names, occasionally pictures

[25:22] of the dead. As bodies were brought back

[25:24] to Washington this morning, President

[25:25] Clinton tried to convey a sense of each

[25:28] of the 12 who died.

[25:43] If you see their pictures, you know they

[25:46] are a portrait of America today and of

[27:15] because that was where he had met his

[27:17] beloved wife.
