2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 4, 2001 NATION/WORLD 4 Six die after bus driver's throat slashed MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) - A passenger on a Greyhound bus cut the driver's throat yesterday, causing a crash that killed six of the 40 people aboard and prompted Greyhound to temporarily halt service nationwide. The driver told authorities the attacker used a box cutter. The driver was treated for a cut to his neck and was stable after surgery, a hospital official said. The attacker, who had a Croatian passport, was kill.ed, the FBI said. "He just went up to the bus driver and, like, slit his throat, and the driver turned the wheel and the bus tipped over," passenger Carly Rinearson told Nashville TV station WTVF by cell phone from the crash site. The crash happened on Interstate 24 near Manches- ter, 50 miles southeast of Nashville. The bus originat- ed in Chicago with a final destination of Orlando, Fla., Greyhound spokesman Mike Lake said. Six people died at the scene, and the 34 others on board were injured, said Dana Keeton, a Tennessee Department of Safety spokeswoman. Greyhound initially said 10 people had died, but Israel cautions Arafat GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - A week-old truce was in danger of unrav- eling as Israeli tanks rolled into Pales- tinian farmland yesterday and shelled a string of police posts, killing six Pales- tinians in retaliation for a lethal raid on a Jewish settlement by Islamic mili- tants. Israel also called off meetings with the Palestinians and declared it was not moving ahead with cease-fire commit- ments until Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat arrests militants responsible for attacks on Israelis. The Palestinians said the Israeli actions were a grave violation of last week's truce deal, which called for Israel to suspend military strikes and halt incursions into Palestinian territo- ry. But Arafat's Palestinian Authority condemned the attack on the settle- ment and said it would bring those responsible to justice. Despite considerable U.S. pressure to make this cease-fire stick, violence has increased.

After the 5:15 a.m. EDT crash, Greyhound pulled the 2,000 to 2,500 buses operating at the time off the nation's highways, but after consulting with federal and state investigators and transportation officials, the com- pany decided it was safe to resume service as of 1 p.m. Hijacking Swas false alarm, NEW DELHI, India (AP) -- The reported hijacking of an Indian jetliner AP PHOTO on a domestic flight last night was a raveside false alarm caused by an anonymous Gaza. phone call and confusion aboard the air- craft, the government said.

NEWS IN BRIEF ARUDHEADLINES FROM AOU D TE ORLD NEW YORK Wall Street sees best day since attacks Wall Street had its first truly upbeat day since the terrorist attacks, surging yesterday on a positive outlook from Cisco Systems and the possibility of a multi-billion-dollar economic stimulus package. The Dow industrials closed above 9,000 for the first time in three weeks. The market waffled in early trading but rose decisively as President Bush in televised remarks in New York urged Congress to approve a plan to stimulate the economy, already quite weak before the assaults. The plan includes tax cuts for individuals and business and is worth $60 billion and $75 billion. Stocks, especially high-techs, widened their lead in midafternoon trading after Cisco chief executive John Chambers affirmed the company's outlook. The upturn on Wall Street added to a rally Tuesday triggered in part by the ninth interest rate cut so far this year. "People are believing that between fiscal and monetary policy, the economy will stabilize," said Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. The Dow surged 173.19, closing yesterday at 9,123.78, having risen 113 Tues- day after the Federal Reserve cut rates by half a percentage point. Yesterday was the first time the Dow has broken the 9,000 level since Sept. 18; it hadn't closed above 9,000 since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. NEW YORK Giuliani will not seek third term as mayor Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will not press for a third term after all, but he repeat- ed his offer yesterday to stay on for an extra three months to guide the city through the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack. "I'm not going to be on the ballot," Giuliani said. "I'm available to do the tran- sition I offered to do. If people support it, fine." Giuliani, a Republican, is barred by the City Charter from serving more than two terms and is scheduled to leave office Dec. 31. However, he has talked with legislative leaders about extending his stay or lifting term limits altogether so that he could run for a third term. The leader of New York's Conservative Party, Michael Long, had offered Giu- liani his party's line on the November ballot while the mayor sought repeal of the term-limits law. But Giuliani rejected the offer, despite supporters who were "begging me to stay in the run for another term." "It would lead to division and litigation and the city does not need division and litigation at this time," he said. WASHINGTON Olympic organizers ask for more security Winter Olympics organizers came to Capitol Hill to press for money for enhanced security measures and to promise a safe gathering in Salt Lake City in February. The heightened security, including more metal detectors, video surveil- lance and plainclothes federal agents, will cost up to $40 million more, the organizers said yesterday. The additional funding would bring federal spending on the Games to about $310 million - more than three times the federal-security spending for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Salt Lake Organizing Committee President Mitt Romney, Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt and Utah's entire congressional delegation met in a closed-door session with House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Attorney General John Ashcroft and the heads of the FBI, the Secret Service and other agencies to discuss security. WASHINGTON Most businesses lack formal disaster plan With federal officials warning that there might be more terrorist attacks, a national survey has found that only about half of American businesses have a disaster-management plan in place. About one-third of 5,700 employers surveyed Sept. 18-22 told the Alexan- dria, Va.-based Society of Human Resource Management that they don't have such plans. Thirteen percent didn't know. Kristin Bowl, spokeswoman for the group of personnel managers, said the findings were surprising but not shocking and should warn employers about the need to do more. None of the group's members with- out plans would be interviewed about their lack of preparedness. Past threats or disasters prompted some companies to develop detailed plans for moving their employees to safety in an emer- gency. VIENNA, Austria OPEC delays talks on pricing policy OPEC delegates broke off infor- mal talks yesterday without agree- ing whether the oil producers' cartel should adjust output, highlighting their dilemma of trying to reverse a slide in crude prices without wors- ening the global economic slow- down. Representatives of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries delayed a formal meeting on the group's production and pricing policy until this morning. "No agreement yet," OPEC presi- dent Chakib Khelil said as he left the hotel where the two-hour talks took place. However, OPEC delegates were meeting late Yesterday with officials from eight non-OPEC oil producing countries, including Mexico, Russia and Angola, at OPEC's headquarters in Vienna, Austria. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
