From Reuter's:

        Guard Suspect in Olympic Bomb  
        The Atlanta Journal reports in a special edition that a  
security guard who alerted police to the bomb at Atlanta's 
Olympic Centennial Park is a prime suspect in the case. Two 
people died and 110 were injured in the explosion. The paper 
reported that the guard, Richard Jewell, is a suspect. Jewell 
was on hand to help evacuate a crowd of concert goers packed 
around the stage where the bomb exploded early Saturday morning. 
Jewell had been recognized as a hero following the bombing. This 
morning he appeared on with Katie Couric on NBC's 'Today 
Show.' An FBI spokesman in Atlanta says nobody has yet been 
charged in the bombing and declines comment on the newspaper 
article.
