The country's major Islamic parties called on the government to end military cooperation with the United States in the war on terrorism and announced plans for nationwide protests against Israel's military offensive against the Palestinians - a move the clerics sought to link to U.S. policies. The latest raids occurred Monday at two houses in Lahore, Pakistan's second- largest city, a senior police official said. Two of the 16 people arrested are Pakista- nis and the other 14 are foreigners, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said most of the foreigners are Arabs - Saudis, Libyans and Syri- ans - but "a few" are Afghans. All admitted they had entered Pakistan after the collapse of Taliban rule in Afghanistan last year, Lahore police chief Javed Noor said. Other police officials said they expected further raids on suspected al-Qaida hide-outs in Punjab province, which includes Lahore.

Jury selection begins for 25-year-old case Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel went on trial for murder yesterday, accused of bludgeoning a neighbor girl to death 27 years ago when they were both 15. Superior Court Judge John Kavanewsky Jr. introduced prospective jurors to Skakel, who stood and gave a slight smile. Later, as he left the court-. VATICAN CITY Vatican quiet on the 6 Pope's condition house and was asked how the day went, Skakel replied: "It was good" Two jurors were chosen, but lawyers said it could take over a month to seat all 12 and the four alternates. The rest of the trial may take up to two months. Skakel, 41, is accused of beating Martha Moxley with a golf club in their wealthy Greenwich neighborhood in 1975. The nephew of the late Sen. Robert F Kennedy was arrested in Jan- uary 2000 after a one-judge grand jury investigated the murder following arti- cles and books about the old case. Deadline for all applications is Friday, April 5, 2002. PAID ADVERTISEMENT The Vatican denied yesterday that doctors are considering surgery on Pope John Paul II's ailing right knee. The frail pope cut back his participa- tion in several Holy Week ceremonies because of what the Vatican described as arthrosis, a joint disease involving destruction of cartilage. The Rome newspaper, II Messaggero, reported Sunday that knee surgery was planned within days. Surgeon Alfredo Carfagni at San Carlo di Nancy near the Vatican also said the hospital was on alert, wait- ing for the Vatican to decide whether the pontiff would have his knee exam- ined there to see if surgery should be performed. But John Paul's spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, said the reports that John Paul would be hospitalized and that such. surgery was planned are "without any foundation." - Compiled from Daily wire reports. 6 ill I coo I I The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
