• Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, American newspapers and our news media have reported in the past few days the incredible story about an Iraqi-sponsored terrorist plot to assassinate President Bush during his recent visit to Kuwait. As incredible and bizarre as this story sounds, there is reliable evidence to take the accounts seriously. U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials are considering these reports and are working with officials of the Kuwaiti Government to evaluate the evidence.

• Mr. Speaker, the Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights, which I have the privilege of chairing, has given high priority to our Nation's policy against terrorism. For this reason, I would like to call the attention of my colleagues to two news items from the Arabic press which report information about the plot against President Bush. While these press accounts are not conclusive, they do provide additional information expanding upon what has already appeared in the U.S. media.

• I ask that these two items be placed in theRecordfor the information of my colleagues.

• MENA [Middle East News Agency] in Cairo reports on the plot against President Bush. MENA, April 25, 1993:

London,25 April [MENA]--Citing high-level sources in Kuwait, the newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reports today that Iraqi elements infiltrated Kuwait's northern border on 13 April prior to former U.S. President George Bush's visit to Kuwait to carry out several acts of sabotage, including the assassination of Bush and his entourage.

报纸说，这些要素在他们可以进行恐怖行动之前被捕。由八人组成的小组包括一名科威特公民。其他人来自Bidun类别（永久居住在科威特的无国籍贝都因人），并且是伊拉克起源。他们在海湾战争危机期间离开了科威特，现在为伊拉克情报局工作。

The newspaper adds that the defendants confessed to their Kuwaiti interrogators that they had come to Kuwait to carry out acts of sabotage during Bush's visit.

The defendants said Iraqi intelligence drew up a three-phased plan for them. They were to assassinate Bush as he left the airport. If that failed, they were to use a booby-trapped vehicle to blow up the building where Bush would be awarded an honorary doctorate by Kuwait University. If they could not get the car to the ceremony, they were to detonate a car bomb in a public place crowded with civilians.

消息人士称，这些要素在贾赫拉省被捕，并详细阐述了他们打算做的事情。

• Al-Sharq al-Awsat发布网络成员的名称；科威特安全部队在发现暗杀灌木丛的计划后追求逃犯。Al-Sharq al-Awsat，4月29日，第1和4页：

Kuwait.Kuwaiti消息人士向Al-Sharq al-Awsat透露了有关逮捕伊拉克恐怖网络要素的完整细节，该恐怖网络试图在科威特境内进行许多破坏行动。

The sources pointed out that the network planned to destroy commercial installations and key places in Kuwait, using arms, bombs, explosives, and technical equipment to facilitate its first task, namely blowing up former U.S. President George Bush's motorcade.

消息人士称，科威特内政部的一支部队在收到有关两个逃犯伊拉克嫌疑人的信息后，在Al-Sulaybiyah地区袭击了许多谷仓。但是这项行动没有成功，因为他们在部队到达前几个小时就离开了现场。他们补充说，该地区所有受怀疑的人都被捕并讯问，以找出两名嫌疑人逃到哪里。

当al-Sharq al-Awsat询问两名嫌疑人通过海上逃往伊拉克领土的可能性，消息人士说，他们在海上逃离的可能性很弱，因为这是广泛的海岸警卫队巡逻难以穿透。

But the Kuwaiti authorities' fear is that they might manage to flee across the borders on foot, avoiding the interior and defense ministries' security posts.
