0 2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 7, 2002 NATION/WORLD Leaders believe Iraq bill will pass NEWS IN BRIEFq§Ie i 1 WASHINGTON (AP) - Congres- sional leaders said yesterday a resolu- tion authorizing war against Iraq, expected to pass with little dissent, will strengthen the U.S. hand at the United Nations and increase pressure on Sad- dam Hussein to disarm. President Bush, after a weekend in Maine, returned to the White House and prepared to address the nation tonight from Cincinnati. He was making the case against the Iraqi president on the one-year anniver- sary of the start of bombing in Afghanistan. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who has counseled caution in unilateral moves against Saddam, said he will vote for the resolution but only after trying to make it more to his liking. A leading moderate Democrat sug- gested Bush was winning broad Democratic support for reasons of domestic politics as well as concerns about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Many Democrats opposed similar legislation that authorized the Persian Gulf War waged by Bush's father in 1991, and the party is still smarting from a per- ception as anti-war. "I think we need to work to improve our image on that score by taking a more aggressive posture with regard to Iraq, empowering the president," Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), a leader of the centrist Democratic Leadership Coun- cil, told "Fox News Yesterday." Bush requested a strong resolution that would have given him a virtual free hand to deal with Iraq's chemical and biological weapons arsenals and its nuclear arms research program by removing Saddam. Last week, a bipartisan group of lawmakers went to the White House and endorsed a somewhat narrower version. It would give Bush broad authority to use force to enforce rele- vant U.N. resolutions, with or with- out the cooperation of the United Nations. Come Check Us Out!!

"We should always respect the academic freedom of everyone to take any position. We should also recall that academic freedom does not include freedom from criticism. The only antidote to dangerous ideas is strong alternatives vigorously advocated... Daschle suggested would be more likely to win the approval he has requested from the U.N. Security Council if the case for moving against Saddam were to rest on a congression- al resolution. "I think he will be," Daschle told NBC's "Meet the Press." "At the end of the day, I think the U.N. is going to be with us." A House vote is expected Wednes- day or Thursday, according to Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.). Daschle said Senate passage should come by next week. Congress is getting ready to break for midterm elections. Bush warned in his radio address Saturday that "delay, indecision and inaction ... could lead to massive and sudden horror" for the United States. Aides said yesterday his Cincinnati speech will answer lingering questions about why disarming Iraq is necessary, even by force if required. The speech is meant to deliver in one cohesive 20-minute package Bush's arguments for force as a last resort, a senior Bush administration official said. The official said Bush probably will discuss his ideas for a postwar, post-Saddam Iraq. Frenc ol tanker explodes SAN'A, Yemen (AP) - An explosion and fire engulfed a French oil tanker yesterday off the coast of Yemen, and the tanker owner said a small boat struck the vessel in a "deliberate attack." Yemeni officials, however, said there was no indication the tanker was attacked and that the fire was caused by an oil leak. French officials said it was still too early to say if the explosion was an act of terrorism. "We don't have enough elements to allow us to formulate a ... hypothesis which would point to a terrorist attack," French Foreign Ministry spokesman Francois Rivasseau said last night in Paris. France will quickly send investi-. gators to Yemen, President Jacques Chirac's office said after Chirac spoke by phone with Yemeni Presi- dent Ali Abdullah Saleh. Yemen's prime minister, Abdul-Kader Bajammal, formed a special com- mittee to investigate. Yemeni officials said a leak caused the fire on the vessel, named the Limburg, about three miles off the port of Mina al-Dabah. JERUSALEM Skinnish leaves two-Palestinians dead Two Palestinian men were shot dead yesterday in the northern West Bank, one in a gunbattle with Israeli troops, the other allegedly shot by a Jewish settler in an olive grove. Palestinians accused Jewish settlers of killing Hani Yousef, 22, as he was har- vesting olives near his village, Aqraba. Another Palestinian farmer was shot and wounded by the settlers, who came from the nearby settlement of Itamar, accord- ing to the Palestinian mayor, Ghaled Mayadme. Israeli police spokesman Gil Kleiman said the farmer's death was being investigat- ed, but no arrests had been made. The farmer had been shot in the back, he said. In the Jenin Refugee Camp, also in the northern West Bank, Israeli troops killed Samer Jalamneh, a 22-year-old member of the radical Islamic Jihad movement, after he opened fire at them with an assault rifle, witnesses and the military said. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, speaking from the remnants of his Ramallah compound, accused the Israeli army of covering up settlers' actions. "The army is protecting their daily crimes against Palestinian residents in their homes and against Palestinian farmers," Arafat said after a meeting with Jacob Kellenberger, president of the International Committee of Red Cross, who is tour- ing Israel and Palestinian areas this week. ROCKVILLE, Md. Shooting spree involved same sniper rifle The bullet used to shoot a Virginia woman matches ammunition used to kill at least four of six victims of a sniper spree in Washington, D.C., and suburban Maryland, investigators said this weekend. Tests conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms confirmed that the same weapon was used in five of the random shootings over the past three days in Montgomery County, Md., and Washington. Tests were still under way to determine any links to two additional shootings in Maryland. "The round that we collected there is in fact a match to the rounds that were used here in Maryland and also in D.C.," said Maj. Howard Smith, of the Spotsylvania County, Va., sheriff's office. The 43-year-old Spotsylvania woman was shot in the back in a parking lot at a craft store in Fredericksburg, Va., about 55 miles south of Rockville, at about 2:30 p.m. Friday. No arrests had been made in the scattered shootings that began Wednes- day. Authorities were talking to one man late Saturday afternoon, but they stressed that he was not a suspect and no weapons were found with him. "But this depends on all of us-" -Laurence H.

WASHINGTON U.S. could use past battle tactics in Iraq The Pentagon is studying lessons learned from the war in Afghanistan and revising military tactics for what could be the next big battle: removing Saddam Hussein from power. While Iraq lacks the large, well- armed rebel force found in Afghanistan, many of the weapons and tactics tried in Afghanistan could apply to a war in Iraq. A U.S.-led campaign again could rely heavily on special operations forces, which helped defeat the Taliban and disrupt the al-Qaida network. One of the most important jobs done by the elite commando units was helping guide U.S. pilots - and their bombs - to the proper targets. These units could "paint" a target by pointing a laser at it, which a bomb could lock on to, or use high-tech rangefinders to tell pilots a target's precise coordinates to use with satel- lite-guided bombs. CHICAGO Illinois to reconsider death row sentences When Gov. George Ryan declared a moratorium on executions two years ago, Jim Dudovick was certain that the death sentence of the man who mur- dered his daughter would still be car- ried out. But now, Dudovick and the relatives of other murder victims find them- selves fighting once again for a death sentence for the killers. Beginning next week, the Prisoner Review Board will hold hearings for at least 140 of the state's 160 death row inmates, after which Ryan will decide if he wants to commute their sentences to life without parole. The governor ordered the hearings after a string of challenges to Illinois death sentences. Since the state resumed capital pun- ishment in 1977, 13 death row inmates have seen their sentences overturned, including some found innocent; 12 inmates were executed during the same period. LOS ANGELES Port closures will hurt U.S. industries A second week of a West Coast port shutdown will cause a noticeable increase in plant closings, job losses and financial market turmoil, say ana- lysts andbusiness leaders. ho 4arse increasingly skeptical of a quick end to the labor dispute. Already, storage facilities at beef, pork and poultry processing facilities across the country are full, crammed with produce that can't be exported. With nowhere to move their product, plant operators will begin shutting down today and layoffs will follow, said Mary Kay Thatcher, public policy director of the American Farm Bureau Federation. In less than two weeks, if the shut- down continues, manufacturing plants will be ;rinding to a halt all over the country, farmers will be up in arms, and Asian equity and currency markets could face a full blown crisis, said Steven Cohen, a University of Califor- nia, Berkeley professor of regional planning. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
