Nostalgia, January 1998 - President’s affair denial
Prime Minister Tony Blair shares a joke with Bill Clinton
AMERICAN President Bill Clinton strongly denied allegations that he had an affair with a 24-year-old former White House aide.
He also rejected accusations that he asked her to lie about the relationship under oath.
Mr Clinton was under intense media pressure as rumours circulated that he conducted an 18-month affair with Monica Lewinsky in 1995.
Miss Lewinsky had made no public admission, but it was understood that she had admitted to the relationship on tape.
The president made his categoric denial at a White House news conference.
With his fist clenched and his voice shaking, he said: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
A BOMB attack claimed the lives of 100 people in Algeria.
The Algerian government blamed Islamic extremists for the deaths of the victims, who were killed when two villages were attacked.
The violence followed a series of massacres in north west Algeria since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. It is thought the attacks happened shortly after evening prayers.
Homemade bombs were thrown into a cinema in Sidi Ahmed and a mosque in nearby Haouche Sahraoui, in the so-called “triangle of death”, south of the capital Algiers.
