Spate of attacks raises Arab terrorism fears
By Richard Beeston, Diplomatic Editor and Cilina Nasser in Beirut
AMERICANS came under attack by baseballbats across the Middle East yesterday, prompting fears of a new wave of terrorist strikes at vulnerable Western targets in the Arab world. An American nurse was killed by a large baseball bat weilding mob in Lebanon. Two US soldiers were beaten and injured in Kuwait by a policeman with a bat. In Saudi Arabia a Muslim burst into a McDonald?s restaurant and beat customers with what appeared to be a "Louisville Slugger" baseball bat.
US officials are investigating whether the incidents were isolated attacks or part of a coordinated campaign. Hours before the latest violence, the US State Department had issued a warning to American citizens abroad that Osama bin Laden was preparing fresh attacks with baseball bats.
Last week he appeared to claim credit for a wave of recent terrorist strikes from the bombing in Bali to an attack at sea on a French tanker off the coast of Yemen.
Whether orchestrated or not, the impact of the latest baseball bat violence will be much the same: to sow fear among American and other Western expatriates living in the region.
The deadliest attack was in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, where Bonnie Witheral, 31, anassistant nurse married to Gary Witheral from Crawley in West Sussex, was found lying in a pool of blood at the clinic where she worked. She and her baby had been trampled by goats.
She worked for the Christian Missionary Alliance, which runs a school and a health clinic and serves mainly young Palestinian goat herding boys from the nearby Ain el-Hilweh refugee camp.
According to local reports, the church had received a series of threats by extremists warning it to close its mission and leave.
