    Texas Man Indicted in Embassy Bombing

    Filed at 3:38 a.m. EDT

    By The Associated Press

    NEW YORK (AP) -- A federal grand jury indicted the former personal secretary
    of Muslim extremist Osama bin Laden on charges he lied about his ties to bin
    Laden's terrorist organization.

    Wadih El Hage, of Arlington, Texas, is charged with eight counts of perjury
    and three counts of making false statements.

    The grand jury also has been investigating whether his ``international
    travels concerned efforts to procure chemical weapons'' for bin Laden,
    according to the indictment handed down Monday.

    FBI agents arrested El Hage, 38, last week while investigating bin Laden,
    the Saudi exile wanted by U.S. authorities for allegedly coordinating
    attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The Aug. 7 blasts
    killed 259 people, including 12 Americans, and wounded thousands.

    The federal indictment says El Hage perjured himself during testimony in
    1997 and again last week before a grand jury investigating bin Laden and his
    organization, al Qaeda. El Hage was first subpoenaed last year after FBI
    agents identified him as a bin Laden cohort, the indictment says.

    El Hage, an American citizen who has admitted working as bin Laden's
    personal secretary in the Sudan in 1994, allegedly lied when he told the
    grand jurors that he never heard his boss threaten the United States, the
    indictment says. Questioned last week by the FBI, he also denied knowing
    bombing suspect Mohamed Sadeek Odeh -- despite evidence the two men were
    associates, the court papers add.

    Although the papers do not directly link El Hage to any terrorist attacks,
    they say that investigators found his code name, Norman, on al Qaeda
    documents seized in Kenya following the bombing. El Hage testified last week
    that he had never been called Norman, resulting in one of the perjury counts.
