- <p>Did Saddam try to assassinate the former President last month?
- </p>
- <p> U.S. intelligence is making a crash effort to discover the
- roots of an alleged plot to assassinate former President Bush
- during his triumphant visit to Kuwait last month. Kuwaiti
- officials have arrested 16 people, including 11 Iraqi nationals,
- and have seized high-tech equipment and hundreds of pounds of
- explosives. According to the Washington Post, Kuwaiti officials
- say three attempts were planned, first a remote-controlled car
- bomb set to detonate as Bush arrived at Kuwait City, a second
- car bomb near a theater where Bush received an honorary
- doctorate, and last, a suicide attack by a man wrapped in
- explosives. Clinton Administration officials are debating how
- to retaliate if firm evidence traces the plot to Baghdad. One
- option: air strikes.
