          Police "rounded up 88 Islamic militants in raids across
     Europe yesterday, saying they had evidence of a terrorist
     campaign timed to the upcoming World Cup," according to Ian
     Phillips of the AP.  Raids took place in France, Belgium,
     Italy, Germany and Switzerland.  Interior Minister Jean-
     Pierre Chevenement said that investigators "had evidence of
     plots to attack during the World Cup" (TORONTO STAR, 5/27).
