NEWS IN BRIEF HEADLINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD / 4 President Bush talks to reporters on Capitol Hill yesterday following a closed-door meeting with House Republicans on national security issues, GOP panel defies Bush Armed Services Committee's approval sets stage for showdown on Senate floor WASHINGTON (AP) - A rebellious Senate com- mittee defied President Bush yesterday and approved terror-detainee legislation he has vowed to block, deepening Republican conflict over terrorism and national security in the middle of election season. Republican Sen. John Warner of Virginia, nor- mally a Bush supporter, pushed the measure through his Armed Services Committee by a 15-9 vote, with Warner and three other GOP lawmakers joining Democrats. The vote set the stage for a showdown on the Senate floor as early as next week. Earlier in the day, Bush had journeyed to the Cap- itol to try nailing down support for his own version of the legislation. "I will resist any bill that does not enable this pro- gram to go forward with legal clarity," Bush said at the White House. The president's measure would go further than the Senate package in allowing classified evidence to be withheld from defendants in terror trials, using coerced testimony and protecting U.S. interrogators against prosecution for using methods that violate the Geneva Conventions. The internal GOP struggle intensified along other fronts, too, as Colin Powell, Bush's first sec- retary of state, declared his opposition to the pres- ident's plan. "The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism," Powell, a retired general who is also a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote in a letter. Powell said that Bush's bill, by redefining the kind of treatment the Geneva Conventions allow, "would add to those doubts. Furthermore, it would put our own troops at risk." Firing back, White House spokesman Tony Snow said Powell was confused about the White House plan. Later, Snow said he probably shouldn't have used that word. MONTREAL Campus gunman blogged before attack A 25-year-old man who mounted a deadly shooting rampage at a Montreal college had posted pictures of himself on the Internet with a rifle and said he was feeling "crazy" and "postal" and was drinking whiskey hours before the attack. He also said on a blog that he liked to play a role-playing Internet game about the Columbine High School shootings and wanted to die "in a hail of gunfire." Those words proved prophetic, as the attacker - dressed in a black trench coat like the Columbine shooters - died in a shootout with police after he killed an 18- year-old woman and wounded 19 other people at Dawson College on Wednesday. Four shooting victims remained in critical condition yesterday, including three in extremely critical condition and one in a deep coma. The gunman, who arrived at the downtown college armed with a rapid-fire rifle and two other weapons, was identified as Kimveer Gill of Laval, near Montreal, said Jayson Gauthier of Quebec provincial police. Gill suffered two gunshot wounds. Gauthier said. Authorities believe police killed him but would not rule out the pos- sibility that he turned a gun on himself, he said. NASHVILLE, Tenn. Convicted murder, loose for 30 years, caught A convicted murderer who escaped from a Michigan psychiatric facility in 1976, acquired a new identity, posed as a married man and then lived a law-abiding life in Tennessee for 30 years was in jail yesterday after he was captured without incident. Thomas Ball, 76, was arrested at his Nashville home Wednesday morning by federal officers, Deputy U.S. Marshal Danny Shelton said. Ball took on the name Thomas Fry and helped the woman he called his wife oper- ate a storage business, Shelton said. "Maybe he never thought the knock would come, but it did yesterday," Shelton said yesterday. MOSCOW Russian reformist bank official assassinated Andrei Kozlov, a top central banker crusading against money-laundering, had just finished playing soccer with colleagues when two assailants pumped him full of bullets. Officials suspect the slaying was ordered by crooked financiers unhappy with Kozlov's drive to clean up the system - underscoring how Vladimir Putin's Russia remains a cauldron of murky business interests rife with gangland killings. The assassins fled in the darkness, leaving their guns behind - the signature of a contract killing. There were no surveillance cameras in the area, and no one could describe the gunmen. Kozlov, thebank's first deputy chairman, died in a hospital early yesterday without regaining consciousness hours after he was shot late Wednesday, Moscow prosecu- tor's office said. The banker's driver was also killed in the attack outside the Moscow sports arena where Kozlov and other bank employees had played soccer. BAGHDAD Sectarian bloodshed up in parts of Baghdad Sectarian killings have surged in parts of Baghdad not yet included in a secu- rity offensive, the U.S. military said yesterday, while bombings and other insurgent attacks killed four American soldiers and wounded 25 in the capital region. Police reported finding 20 bodies dumped on streets, many of them victims of reprisal killings in the escalating conflict between Shiite and Sunni Arabs. Six peo- ple died when a car bomb exploded at a soccer field in Fallujah, raising the death toll across Iraq to at least 28. One of the few positive developments for the U.S.-led coalition and the national unity government was the reported killing of a senior member of al-Qaida in Iraq and the capture of another. - Compiledfrom Daily wire reports CORRECTIONS Please report any error in the Daily to corrections@michigandaily.com.
