Ailing workers at an Ohio nuclear weapons plant won a $20 million settlement from the Energy Department, signaling that the government might yield in future cases at 16 other plants around the country. About 4,000 workers at the Fernald nuclear weapons plant north of Cincinnati filed a class action suit in 1990, alleging that many of them contracted cancer or leukemia because of exposure to radioactive material between 1952 and 1985.ANOTHER TRADE CENTER BOMBER? Just when the mystery behind the World Trade Center bombing seemed wrapped up, Canadian authorities detained another man wanted for FBI questioning. Charles Lee Knox, a.k.a. Mohammad Abbas, was arrested Friday in Ottawa. The Feds want to know if he's connected to a Libyan terrorist group--and if that group was behind the Feb. 25, 1993, bombing that killed six people and injured more than 1,000. Four men are already serving life sentences for the deed.
