Paperweight Severs Calif. Teacher's Hand By Associated Press 2 hours ago VENTURA, Calif. - A teacher who kept a 40 mm shell on his desk as a paperweight blew off part of his hand when he apparently used the object to try to squash a bug, authorities say. The 5-inch-long shell exploded Monday while Robert Colla was teaching 20 to 25 students at an adult education class. Part of Colla's right hand was severed and he suffered severe burns and minor shrapnel wounds to his forearms and torso, fire Capt. Tom Weinell said. No one else was injured. He was reported in stable condition at a hospital. The teacher slammed the shell down in an attempt to kill something that was buzzing or crawling across the desk, said Fire Marshal Glen Albright. Colla found the 40 mm round while hunting years ago and "obviously he didn't think the round was live," said Dennis Huston, who teaches computer design alongside Colla.

Navy: Pirates Hijack South Korean Ship By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer 4 hours ago WASHINGTON - Pirates captured a South Korean-flagged fishing vessel off the coast of Somalia on Tuesday and efforts by a U.S. Navy ship and a Dutch vessel to intervene were abandoned when members of the South Korean crew were threatened with guns and the ship slipped into Somali territorial waters, the Navy said. Cmdr. Jeff Breslau, spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain, said he did not know the number of crew aboard the South Korean vessel, the Dong Won. It was the latest in a series of incidents off the coast of Somalia. On March 18, two U.S. Navy ships exchanged gunfire with suspected pirates, killing one and wounding five. No U.S. sailors were injured. Somalis involved in that incident later claimed they were patrolling Somali waters to stop illegal fishing when the U.S. ships fired on them. On Tuesday morning, naval ships patrolling international waters in the Persian Gulf region as part of an international Maritime security mission received a radio distress call from the Dong Won, which reported that it had been fired upon about 60 miles off the coast of Somalia, according to a statement issued by 5th Fleet. Some hours later the guided missile destroyer USS Roosevelt and the Dutch ship HNLMS Zeven Provincien arrived at the scene. Apparently, by that time the pirates had taken control of the fishing vessel. Breslau said that when the Dong Won turned toward Somali territorial waters, one or both of the U.S. and Dutch ships tried to intercept it and fired warning shots in its direction. Members of the South Korean crew were seen on the deck of the Dong Won with guns pointed at them, so the intercept effort was broken off, he added. "The top priority is the safety of innocent lives," the 5th Fleet statement said. Breslau said the U.S. and Dutch ships remained in the area in international waters to monitor the situation. Quote The Navy should have killed everyone as the terrorists will probably kill them anyways

Sinn Fein Official-Turned Spy Shot Dead By SHAWN POGATCHNIK, Associated Press Writer 3 hours ago File photo dated Dec. 9 2005, of Denis Donaldson, ... DUBLIN, Ireland - A former senior official of Sinn Fein recently exposed as a British spy was found fatally shot in northwest Ireland, police said Tuesday. Denis Donaldson, Sinn Fein's former legislative chief in the failed power-sharing government of Northern Ireland, admitted in December he had been on the payroll of the British secret service and the province's anti-terrorist police for the previous two decades. He then went into hiding because the traditional Irish Republican Army punishment for informing is death. But Ireland's national police said it was not clear whether Donaldson, 55, had been killed or committed suicide. In a statement, the force said the scene around his body in Glenties, County Donegal, was cordoned off for a forensic examination planned for Wednesday. Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern condemned what he called the "brutal murder" of Donaldson. The IRA said it was not involved in the death. A Roman Catholic-Protestant power-sharing administration for Northern Ireland _ the central goal of the British province's 1998 peace accord _ fell apart in October 2002 because of an IRA spying scandal with Donaldson at its heart. Donaldson, his nephew and a British civil servant all were charged with pilfering documents from inside the power-sharing government that identified potential targets of the outlawed IRA and detailed political opponents' private conversations. Protestants at the time accused the IRA of plotting a potential resumption of its violent campaign to oust Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom. But British prosecutors mysteriously dropped all charges against the trio in early December. Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams initially defended Donaldson and the others _ but a week later announced that Donaldson had confessed, under questioning by Sinn Fein officials, to being a paid British spy. Within hours, Donaldson admitted this was so in an interview with RTE, the Irish state broadcasters. The IRA last year declared it was renouncing violence for political purposes and backed the pledge by handing over its weapons stockpiles to disarmament chiefs. Both moves were supposed to spur a revival of power-sharing involving Sinn Fein, the IRA-linked party that represents most Catholics in Northern Ireland. But Protestant leaders have refused to cooperate with Sinn Fein, citing the IRA's refusal to disband and its alleged involvement in a range of criminal activities. If police determine that Donaldson was killed, it would be certain to fuel the hostility of the major Protestant party, the Democratic Unionists, to cooperating with Sinn Fein. British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Ahern are expected Thursday to announce a new blueprint for reviving power-sharing. The joint governments' proposals, which have been 3 1/2 years of diplomacy in the making, recommend that Northern Ireland's legislature reconvene in May and face a Nov. 24 deadline to elect an administration jointly led by the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein.Quote It's nice to see everyone getting along so well in Northern Ireland

Online Ads Offer Rooms in Return for Sex By DAN GOODIN, Associated Press Writer 3 hours ago SAN FRANCISCO - In Atlanta, an online ad offers a room in exchange for "sex and light office duty." In Los Angeles, a one-bedroom pool house is free "to a girl that is skilled and willing." And in New York City, a $700-a-month room is available at a discount to a fit female willing to provide sex. On the widely used Web site Craigslist.org, some landlords and apartment dwellers looking for roommates are offering to accept sex in lieu of rent. "They have to be attractive. I don't let just anybody come into my house," said Mike, a man who answered the phone at the New York City listing but declined to give his last name _ and refused to say whether he has, in fact, collected the rent under the sheets. The offering of shelter for sex is older than, well, real estate itself. But the online come-ons are franker than anything you might see in the newspaper classifieds, because they are not edited by Craigslist, and perhaps also because the anonymity of the Internet often causes people to shed their inhibitions. Trading housing for sex is a form of prostitution. But the police aren't kicking down doors. Paul J. Browne, a deputy police commissioner in New York, said investigators have found that the Craigslist ads are frequently "little more than a form of voyeurism that didn't result in an actual exchange of sex for rent." Craigslist provides mostly free classifieds for apartments, used cars and just about everything else in more than 200 cities in 35 countries. "I usually rent the room for 600, but if you are really ticklish and willing to trade being tickled for the extra rent then we have a deal," writes a gay man offering a $350-a-month room in the San Francisco Bay area. An ad for a townhouse near Bradenton, Fla., seeks a "female that likes to be nude. Nothing more expected." It is unclear how much success people have had with their rent-for-sex ads. One man said he became friends with a bisexual man who answered his ad but did not end up taking the room. The same user said a man visiting from Russia answered his ad and they shared dinner and a bottle of wine, but that was it. "This is only a silly sideline adventure of mine," the man, who would not give his name, wrote in an e-mail. "I feel a little embarrassed about it." The Associated Press e-mailed more than two-dozen other people who placed ads, but most declined to be interviewed. Jim Buckmaster, chief executive of San Francisco-based Craigslist, said the company forbids ads that break the law, but his staff of 19 could not possibly police all postings. Craigslist instead relies on users to flag ads they find offensive. If enough people agree, the ad is removed. "Tens of millions of users are a much more powerful force in examining the more than 8 million classified ads per month than any staff could be," Buckmaster said. Mike, who offered the room in New York, said his ads are frequently flagged and removed, resulting in a cat-and-mouse game in which he puts them back up. Tenants rights groups have accused Craigslist of skirting fair housing requirements. In February, a group called the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law sued the Web site for publishing housing ads that excluded people based on their race, religion and sex. But legal experts say Craigslist is shielded by a 1996 federal law that protects online service providers that merely pass along unedited information provided by someone else. And in most states, prostitution laws apply only if the ads are followed by e-mails, phone conversations or other acts that advance the proposition. "The mere posting itself is absolutely not illegal," said Anthony Lowenstein, a defense lawyer in San Francisco, "unless the guy who posts it or the person who answers it does something that makes it a little closer to happening." Quote Geez and to think I had to let women do me just for a beer! BTW anyone ever worked a trade with a stranger for a room in return for sex?

Bill you and I have no problem with each other, but I do think you stated something although sarcastically that implies millions of american soliders are cold blooded murderers and that they receive gratification from killing innocent civilians... I think better of you than that

Mexican Mom Risks All to Find Kidnappers By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO, Associated Press Writer Mon Apr 3, 5:11 PM A public bus passes under a large outdoor billboard ... MEXICO CITY - Maria Isabel Miranda didn't hesitate to call police when her son was kidnapped. She might have saved her breath. Authorities widely acknowledge that most kidnappings in Mexico aren't reported, for fear of official corruption, negligence or plain incompetence that endanger the victims' lives. Miranda soon learned she would have to solve the case herself. What she did next nearly cost her life. Tackling high rates of kidnappings and other crime is a key issue in Mexico's July 2 presidential election campaign, and leading candidates have promised tough measures. Kidnappings flourished in the early 1990s, when criminal organizations researched wealthy victims and demanded millions of dollars for their safe return. Today, with most organized networks broken, experts say most kidnappings are conducted by loosely organized gangs _ drug traffickers, common criminals, even middle-class professionals _ who nab everyone from small business owners to maids. And while government statistics show kidnapping declined to 315 reported cases in 2005 from more than 500 in 2004, the private Citizen Council for Public Safety says kidnappings have actually risen, to the point that Mexico, along with Haiti, rivals Colombia as one of the world's leaders in kidnappings. Miranda's nightmare began July 11, 2005, when she did not hear from her son, Hugo Alberto Wallace, a 36-year-old fumigation company owner. He had a date that night with a woman identified as Juana Hilda Gonzalez, and failed to return home. "I was terribly alarmed because he never did that," Miranda told The Associated Press in an interview. Miranda filed missing person reports with city, state and federal police, but was told they wouldn't investigate. So she divided the megalopolis of 20 million people into sections, recruited 40 friends and relatives, and they searched street by street for her son's SUV. Amazingly, they found it the day after her son Wallace vanished, not far from the shopping center where he had planned to take Gonzalez to a movie. A neighbor had witnessed a man being taken from her son's car into a nearby building. Residents said a man with distinctive tattoos entered the building as well, and they suspected _ from the way he walked and openly carried weapons _ that he was an officer of the judicial police, a detective squad notorious for associations with kidnappers. About a month later, Miranda received an anonymous letter saying her son had been kidnapped and she would have to pay ransom to get him back. She wouldn't say how much the demand was, but said she never paid. Instead, she returned to the police to file a kidnapping complaint. Again, the police were no help. The Federal Attorney General's Office, which is now handling the case, declined repeated requests for comment about the case. "All the time we were calling, asking them to investigate," Miranda said. "We'd bring them what information we had, but they just ignored us." Police agencies denied knowing any officer fitting the neighbors' description. So Miranda went south to the state of Morelos, where she learned that Cesar Freyre Morales, a former judicial police officer in the Morelos attorney general's office, had tattoos of his mother on his right arm and flames on his left. Using the phone book and talking with neighbor after neighbor, she found the house Freyre kept with Juana Hilda Gonzalez, the woman her son was supposed to have taken to the movie. She learned that her son had been introduced to Gonzalez by a man named Jacobo Tagle, and that Freyre was involved with another woman, Keopski Daniela Salazar, a Mexico City restaurant hostess. Miranda began to follow the men and women herself _ a desperate act that paid off in January. Eavesdropping while eating at Salazar's restaurant, she overheard the hostess saying she would leave with Freyre for El Salvador in two days. "That's when I made the decision to catch Cesar," Miranda said. She and her brother followed Salazar home, found Freyre and demanded that he tell her where her son was, Miranda said. Freyre pulled a gun and the brother knocked him to the ground. Somehow, Miranda managed to flag down a passing Mexico City police car, she said. As he was being led away in handcuffs, Freyre vowed "it wasn't over, that there were still a lot of people in his gang and that he was going to kill not only me, but my granddaughter and my daughter," Miranda said. But Miranda was just getting started. In February, she paid for three billboard advertisements featuring Freyre's mugshot and this message: "If you have been a victim of this criminal, report him." The billboards included the telephone number of federal authorities. Her idea was to persuade other potential victims to come forward. Weeks later, with Freyre, Gonzalez and Salazar under house arrest, she put up new displays, offering $23,000 for Tagle's arrest. Then still more billboards, offering $4,570 dollars for the arrest of two other Freyre associates, Tony Castillo and Brenda Quevado. Castillo was promptly detained, and days later, Freyre was moved from house arrest to a maximum security prison on unrelated charges; both men are now being investigated for kidnapping and weapons violations. Gonzalez and Salazar remain under house arrest awaiting possible charges. And last month, prosecutors began protecting Miranda with two armed bodyguards. Miranda believes others were involved in her son's kidnapping, and won't give up until everyone is jailed and she finds her son _ even if it means just recovering his body. She said a police official assured her, without offering evidence, that her son was dead. No body has been found. "Of course I'm afraid," she said. "But nothing is going to stop me, not even fear. I've got to have justice for what they did to my son." Quote Like I always said somebody's Mom is way more dangerous than a Mexican cop.

Moussaoui Defiant After Jury's Verdict By MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press Writer 2 hours ago Zacarias Moussaoui is shown in this Aug. 2001 photo ... ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A federal jury found al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui eligible Monday to be executed, linking him directly to the horrific Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and concluding that his lies to FBI agents led to at least one death on that day. A defiant Moussaoui said, "You'll never get my blood, God curse you all." After months of hearings and trial testimony _ punctuated by Moussaoui's occasional outbursts _ he now faces a second phase of the sentencing trial to determine if he actually will be put to death. That phase begins Thursday morning for the only person to face charges in this country in connection with the nation's worst terrorist assault, the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people as jetliners crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. Moussaoui sat in his chair and prayed silently as the verdict was read, refusing to join his defense team in standing. His comment came after the hearing. The jury now will hear testimony on whether the 37-year-old Frenchman, who was in jail at the time of the attacks, should be executed for his role. Those testifying will include families of 9/11 victims who will describe the human impact of the al-Qaida mission. Court-appointed defense lawyers, whom Moussaoui has tried to reject, will summon experts to suggest he is schizophrenic after an impoverished childhood during which he faced racism in France over his Moroccan ancestry. The trial's first phase, which focused strictly on legal arguments, had seemed Moussaoui's best chance to avoid execution. The jury deciding his fate will now be weighing the emotional impact of nearly 3,000 deaths against Moussaoui's rough childhood and possible evidence of mental illness. On the key question before the jurors in phase one, they answered yes that at least one victim died Sept. 11 as a direct result of Moussaoui's actions. Had the jury voted against his eligibility for the death penalty, Moussaoui would have been sentenced to life in prison. Rosemary Dillard, whose husband Eddie died in the attacks, said she felt a sense of vindication from the verdict. "This man has no soul, has no conscience," she said of Moussaoui. "What else could we ask for but this?" Abraham Scott, who lost his wife Janice Marie on 9/11, said he actually felt sorry for Moussaoui "But not enough to drop the possibility of him getting the death penalty. "I describe him like a dog with rabies, one that cannot be cured. The only cure is to put him or her to death, Scott said. But Scott said he also blamed the government "for not acting on certain indicators that could have prevented 9/11 happening." The jury began weighing Moussaoui's fate last Wednesday. During its deliberations, jurors asked only one question publicly, seeking a definition of "weapon of mass destruction." One of the three convictions for which Moussaoui could be executed is conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. The jurors were told that a plane used as a missile _ the tactic employed on Sept. 11 _ qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction. Moussaoui pleaded guilty last April to conspiring with al-Qaida to hijack aircraft and other crimes. At the time, he denied being part of the 9/11 plot, saying he was being trained for a separate attack, but he changed his story when he took the stand and claimed he was to have flown a hijacked airliner into the White House that day. The defense suggested Moussaoui would say anything to derail his own defense so he could achieve martyrdom through execution. Moussaoui was in jail at the time of the attacks, but prosecutors argue federal agents would have been able to thwart or at least minimize the attacks if he had revealed his al-Qaida membership and his terrorist plans when he was arrested and questioned by federal agents. The defense argued that a confession from Moussaoui would have changed nothing because the FBI and other federal agencies were inept in processing terror threats in the time before Sept. 11. The judge said the jury was unanimous on all four aspects of each of the three counts against Moussaoui. Those counts were conspiracy to commit international terrorism, to destroy aircraft and to use weapons of mass destruction. On each count, the jurors found the defendant was 18 or older at the time of the offense, intentionally lied to federal agents on Aug. 16-18, 2001, and did so "contemplating the life of a person would be taken or intending that lethal force would be used." Further, they determined at least one person died Sept. 11 as a direct result of the lies. The judge asked the jurors if their verdicts were all unanimous, and all nodded affirmatively. ___ Associated Press writers Michael J. Sniffen and Pete Yost contributed to this report. Quote

All 17 Aboard Military Plane Survive Crash By RANDALL CHASE, Associated Press Writer 1 hour ago DOVER, Del. - A huge military cargo plane headed for Spain developed problems after takeoff and crashed trying to return to Dover Air Force Base early Monday, military officials said. All 17 people aboard survived, though several were injured. The C-5 Galaxy, the military's largest plane at more than six stories high and 247 feet long, crashed just short of the runway and broke in two behind the cockpit. The tail assembly landed several hundred yards away, and an engine was thrown forward by the impact, but there was no evidence of fire. "It looks like it kind of slid along the ground almost like a water landing of sorts," said Lt. Col. Mark Ruse, Commander of the 436th Air Wing Civil Engineering squadron at Dover. Fourteen of the injured, taken to a Dover hospital, were covered with jet fuel and had to be decontaminated in the parking lot, but none of their injuries were life threatening, Kent General Hospital officials said. Three others were taken to Christiana Care in Newark, said hospital spokeswoman Sharon Justice. "It's absolutely a miracle" that the injuries were not more serious, Ruse said. The C-5 was being flown by a reserve crew from the 512th Airlift Wing, said Capt. John Sheets of the Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. All flights from the base were suspended as emergency crews, some in hazardous materials suits, combed through the wreckage in a light rain under overcast skies. Some sprayed foam on the left wing, which had lost its engine, while others removed the remaining fuel from the plane. Lisa Barrentine, who lives near the crash site and often hears military planes flying over her property, said she knew something was wrong when she heard the C-5 overhead around 6:30 a.m. "It wasn't quite the rumble you normally hear, it was larger, and you could hear the windows shaking," she said. Tech Sgt. Melissa Phillips, a base spokeswoman, said a board of officers investigate the cause of the crash. Dover is home to the largest and busiest air freight terminal in the Defense Department, including the mortuary that processes bodies from the nation's wars. The C-5 Galaxy cargo plane, made by Lockheed Martin Corp., is one of the largest aircraft in the world, according to the Air Force. Even with a payload of 263,200 pounds, it can fly non-stop for 2,500 miles at jet speeds. Quote Nice job!!! that is how you prove yourself as a pilot!!!! that man deserves a medal! Any landing you walk away from is a good one

Supreme Court Rejects War Powers Challenge By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer 2 hours ago WASHINGTON - A divided Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Jose Padilla, held as an enemy combatant without traditional legal rights for more than three years, sidestepping a challenge to Bush administration wartime detention powers. Padilla was moved in January to Miami to face criminal charges, and the government argued that the appeal over his indefinite detention was now pointless. Three justices said the court should have agreed to take up the case anyway: Justices David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. And three other court members, including Chief Justice John Roberts, said that they would be watching to ensure Padilla receives the protections "guaranteed to all federal criminal defendants." An appeals court panel had all but called for the high court to deal with the case, saying it was troubled by the Bush administration's change in legal strategy _ it brought criminal charges only after it looked like the Supreme Court was going to step in. Justices first considered in 2004 whether Padilla's constitutional rights were violated when he was detained as an "enemy combatant" without charges and access to a lawyer, traditional legal rights. Justices dodged a decision on technical grounds. In a dissent Justice John Paul Stevens said then that "at stake in this case is nothing less than the essence of a free society." Justices are reviewing a second case arising from the government pursuit of terrorists, an appeal by a foreign terrorist suspect facing a military commission on war crimes charges at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Arguments were last week. Padilla's case was different. It asked the court to clarify how far the government can go when its hunt for terrorists leads to Americans in this country. Based on the vote breakdown, it appears the court would have agreed to hear the appeal had Padilla not been charged. "In light of the previous changes in his custody status and the fact that nearly four years have passed since he first was detained, Padilla, it must be acknowledged, has a continuing concern that his status might be altered again," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for himself, Stevens and Roberts. "That concern, however, can be addressed if the necessity arises." Padilla, a former Chicago gang member and a convert to Islam, was arrested in 2002 after a trip to Pakistan. The government alleged at the time that he was part of a plot to detonate a radiological "dirty bomb" in the United States. The Bush administration has maintained since 2002 that it had the power to detain him without charges. However, in an abrupt change in strategy, the government late last year brought criminal charges against Padilla. His appeal was pending at the Supreme Court at the time. The charges do not match the long-standing allegations that Padilla sought to blow up apartment buildings. Instead, he was charged with being part of a North American terrorism cell that raised funds and recruited fighters to wage violent jihad outside the United States. The strategy shift angered a panel of 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., which had ruled last September that Padilla's constitutional rights had not been violated by his detention. Judge J. Michael Luttig, a conservative who was named to the bench by President Bush's father, wrote in a decision late last year that the administration's actions left the impression that Padilla had been held in military custody "by mistake." Ginsburg said Monday that although Padilla is charged in civilian court "nothing prevents the executive (branch) from returning to the road it earlier constructed and defended." "This case, here for the second time, raises a question 'of profound importance to the nation,'" she wrote. Padilla pleaded innocent in Florida to the criminal charges and is scheduled to be put on trial this fall. A federal judge refused to set bail for Padilla after a prosecutor said he had a history of arrests and convictions for violent crimes _ including murder as a juvenile. The case is Padilla v. Hanft, 05-533.
