He had felt he would have greater freedom to practise his faith in Britain, and in London he came into contact with religious groups financed from Saudi Arabia, she said.The French newspaper Le Monde said Mr Moussaoui used to spend his spare time smoking cannabis, night clubbing and watching pornographic films. The newspaper said he and an older brother were so out of control that their mother, a single parent, would have to call the police to fetch them home.Mrs Moussaoui said she believed the root of the delinquency of her son was institutional racism in the French education system. The only news she had had in four years was a phone call on 12 September saying he was accused of involvement in the US attacks.At the weekend, police were granted permission to hold two men detained last week in Leicester until tomorrow. The two, said to be French-speaking Muslims, are being questioned over planned attacks on US targets in Europe. Plans to bomb the American embassy in Paris were unveiled when, Djamel Begal, a former British resident, was arrested with a false passport in Dubai in July.A third man arrested in Leicester, Kamel Daoudi, 27, said to be a member of the militant Islamic group Takfir-wal-Hijra, was handed over to French police on Saturday. British police are still questioning Lotfi Raissi, an Algerian pilot who allegedly taught four of the suicide hijackers how to fly.. Some 23 years after her father began his studies amid the dreaming spires in a fog of uninhaled marijuana smoke, Chelsea Clinton arrived at Oxford University yesterday in search of further learning.

Some 23 years after her father began his studies amid the dreaming spires in a fog of uninhaled marijuana smoke, Chelsea Clinton arrived at Oxford University yesterday in search of further learning. Shortly after midday, and accompanied by Bill, a former Rhodes Scholar and some-time leader of the free world, Ms Clinton became the second generation of her family to enter University College.But whereas Clinton Senior had arrived anonymously in 1968 as just another American on a sabbatical, his daughter's presence was announced with a phalanx of Secret Service agents and a clampdown on security.In a move reminiscent of another high-profile student's recent induction at St Andrews University, the college prevented access to all outsiders, in particular those bearing telephoto lenses or television cameras.Unlike Prince William, Chelsea, 21, already has a degree to her name, having graduated in history from Stanford University this year. She is taking a Masters degree in international relations at Oxford.In due deference to the current delicate state of global politics, only those with college passes were allowed through the ornate wooden gates to greet the low-profile VIPs. A university spokeswoman said: "Very few people knew she was coming, so there wasn't any need for much crowd control Mr Clinton had brought his own security with him We want her to have as normal a student life as possible. There is a reasonable level of security but no high-profile police presence.''Safe in the knowledge that prying eyes – and any film crews from Ardent Productions – were out of reach, the new arrival and her father mingled briefly with fellow students and their parents.Mr Clinton, who spent two years at University College, seemed happy to play the fatherly role, dressing in a brown blazer, tie and slacks and helping his daughter to unpack her belongings.It was unclear, however, whether the former President had used the visit to his alma mater to show his daughter his former rooms – or to reminisce on his notorious close encounter, of the "I-did-not-inhale'' kind, with a passing spliff.* The future of Ardent Productions, the television company run by Prince Edward, was brought into new doubt yesterday when its chairman said it would now concentrate on film and drama.Senior advisers to the Queen were in talks with the Prince over his role after an Ardent film crew broke a media agreement to allow Prince William privacy at St Andrews University.Malcolm Cockren, Ardent chairman, signalled a move away from royalty-based programmes – a mainstay of the company – saying it would put its energies elsewhere.. The Ulster Defence Association, Northern Ireland's largest paramilitary organisation, has responded to the threat of its ceasefire being declared over by providing two nights of complete peace in the riot-ravaged north of Belfast.

The Ulster Defence Association, Northern Ireland's largest paramilitary organisation, has responded to the threat of its ceasefire being declared over by providing two nights of complete peace in the riot-ravaged north of Belfast. After weeks of violence in which scores of police have been injured, Friday and Saturday nights saw a complete absence of street unrest.John Reid, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, had warned on Friday that he would declare the ceasefire over if the UDA inspired any further violence. He said: "I will judge the UDA by its actions tonight, tomorrow night and every night .. I give this warning .. if there is UDA-inspired violence ... the UDA will be specified." His words had immediate effect.Last night there were some minor skirmishes in north Belfast and some separate trouble in Ulster.A police officer was injured and five youths were arrested for riotous behaviour when rival factions starting hurling fireworks, bottles and stones in Londonderry. An old people's home was attacked during violence which erupted in the aftermath of a football match between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic. Nobody was hurt but the residents were said by police to have been distressed.North Belfast was the scene of fierce rioting last week that left dozens of police officers wounded and brought Mr Reid to the brink of declaring the ceasefire over.Trouble erupted in the North Queen Street and New Lodge before order was restored a short time later. Clashes then broke out on the nearby Limestone Road, Newington and Carlisle Circus areas.Once again the situation was quickly brought under control.The killing on Friday night of the journalist Martin O'Hagan, 51, thought to be by the Loyalist Volunteer Force, is generally presumed to be unconnected with events in north Belfast.Mr O'Hagan, who worked for the Dublin-based Sunday World, became the only journalist to die in the Northern Ireland troubles when he was shot as he walked home from a local bar in Lurgan, Co Armagh, with his wife. He was hit up to seven times in the attack, during which he reportedly tried to protect his wife, Marie.
