  • Terrorist Attack on U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Gunmen stormed the U.S. consular compound in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, resulting in a four-hour battle.

  • Northern Ireland Power-Sharing Agreement Proposal Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, recommended supporting a British/Irish power-sharing program for Northern Ireland. The plan involves public decommissioning of arms held by the Irish Republican Army. This potentially historic agreement could see Ian Paisley of the Democratic Unionist Party become first minister, with Martin McGuinness, a former IRA member, serving as his deputy.
  • UN Oil-for-Food Program Controversy UN Secretary General Kofi Annan faced criticism after reports emerged suggesting he received payments from a Swiss firm that had secured a lucrative contract under the UN Oil for Food program. This allegation raised serious questions about potential corruption within the United Nations.
  • ETA Bombing Campaign in Spain The Basque separatist group ETA detonated seven bombs across multiple Spanish cities, including Leon, Avila, and Santillana del Mar. The bombs were strategically placed in cafes, bars, and public squares. Notably, the group provided warnings before each attack, and miraculously, no one was seriously injured.
  • Ukrainian Presidential Election Crisis Javier Solana, the EU foreign policy chief, returned to Ukraine to discuss the ongoing political crisis surrounding the presidential election. This intervention highlighted the international community's concern about the electoral process and potential political instability.
