The U.S. Embassy again warned Americans of African and Asian descent to beware of violent neo-Nazi thugs after an African American Marine was beaten by a group of skinheads this weekend at a popular outdoor market. Moscow city police on Sunday arrested one of the assailants, who by chance was interviewed by a Russian television crew moments after the incident and bragged that he often beats black people on the city's streets.

A local rancher had tried for weeks to collect a $500 debt owed him for some cattle when the buyer knocked on his door late one night, anxious to pay the money.

The Rwandan rebels who killed eight foreigners on a gorilla-watching trek in Uganda were intent on scaring off tourists in a country that depends on the hard cash the adventure-lovers bring, the Clinton administration said Wednesday.

Rwandan rebels killed three people and kidnapped 13 foreign tourists--including three Americans--from a campground in southwestern Uganda, officials said.

Unconfirmed reports from private tour operators said one tourist and two Ugandans were killed.

A Guatemalan court convicted three men and sentenced them to 28 years in prison each for the rapes and robbery last year of five American students. The three-judge panel in Escuintla found the three men--Cosby Urias, Rony Polanco and Reyes Guch Ventura--guilty of rape and aggravated robbery in the Jan. 16, 1998, ambush of students from St. Mary's College of Maryland.
