From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A suspect in an attack on an American military complex in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 servicemen last year says he was in Iran during the bombing, the New York Times reported. Hani Abdel Rahim Hussein Sayegh, accused of serving as a driver and lookout in the attack, said an airline manifest and passport show he went to Iran shortly before the June 25, 1996, blast at al-Khobar Towers and flew from there to Kuwait a short time later. Sayegh spoke with the paper by telephone from an undisclosed location in the Washington area, where he is being held by U.S. marshals.
