FRESARD ALEXIS FLOYD Editor in Chief Business Manager fresard@michigandaily.com business@michigandaily.com NEWS IN BRIEF U.S. military holds AP photographer The U.S. military in Iraq has imprisoned an Associated Press photographer for five months, accusing him of being a security threat but never filing charges or permitting a public hearing. Military officials said Bilal Hussein, an Iraqi citizen, was being held for "imper- ative reasons of security" under United Nations resolutions. AP executives said the news cooperative's review of Hussein's work did not find anything to indicate inap- propriate contact with insurgents, and any evidence against him should be brought to the Iraqi criminal justice system. Hussein, 35, is a native of Fallujah who began work for the AP in September 2004. He photographed events in Fallujah and Ramadi until he was detained on April 12 of this year. "We want the rule of law to prevail. He either needs to be charged or released. Indefinite detention is not acceptable," said Tom Curley, AP's president and chief executive officer. "We've come to the conclusion that this is unacceptable under Iraqi law, or Geneva Conventions, or any military procedure." 4 4 I CONTACT INFORMATION News Tips Corrections Letters to the Editor Photography Department Arts Section Editorial Page Sports Section Display Sales Classified Sales Online Sales Finance Newsroom: 763-2459 Office hours: Sun-Thurs. 11 a.m. - 2 a.m. news@michigandaily.com corrections@michigandaily.com tothedaily@michigandaily.com photo@michigandaily.com 764-0563 artspage@michigandaily.com 763-0376 opinion@michigandaily.com 763-0379 sports@michigandaily.com 764-8585 display@michigandaily.com 764-0554 classified@michigandaily.com 764-0557 onlineads@michigandaily.com 615-0135 finance@michigandaily.com 763-3246 EDITORIAL STAFF Jeffrey Bloomer Managing Editor bloomer@michigandaily.com Karl Stampfl Managing News Editor sramyfi@michiasdaity.com NEWS EDITORS Lea hab ksi China H ldreh, Anne Doling, Anne VanderMey Emily Beam Editorial Page Editor beam@michigandaily.com Christopher Zbrozek Editorial Page Editor zbrozek@michigandaily.com ASSOCIATE EDITORIAL PAGE EDITORS: Whitney Dibo, Theresa Kennelly, David Russell, Iran Syed Jack Herman Managing Sports Editor herman@michigandaily.com SENIOR SPORTS EDITORS: Scott Bell, H.

Pope Benedict XVI raises his arms during the Angelus address to the faithful in his summer palace in Castel Gandolfo, on the outskirts of Rome, yesterday. Pope says sorry for Ire:Mark Some Muslim leaders accept Benedict's explanation, but others say it's not enough VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI said Sunday that he is "deeply sorry" his remarks on Islam and violence offended Muslims, but the unusual expression of papal regret drew a mixed reaction from Islamic leaders as the Vatican worried about a back- lash of violence. Some Muslim leaders accepted the statement. Oth- ers said it wasn't enough, but urged Muslims to avoid violence after attacks on churches in Palestinian areas and the slaying of a nun in Somalia. Benedict said he regretted causing offense with his speech last week in Germany, particularly his quot- ing of a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman" and referred to spreading Islam "by the sword." He said those words did not reflect his own opinions. "I hope that this serves to appease hearts and to clar- ify the true meaning of my address, which in its totality was and is an invitation to frank and sincere dialogue, with great mutual respect" the pope said during his weekly Sunday appearance before pilgrims. It was an unusual step for a leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Benedict's predecessor, Pope John Paul II, issued a number of apologies during his papa- cy, but they dealt with abuses and other missteps by the church in the past rather than errors on his own part. Vatican officials had earlier sought to placate spreading Muslim anger by saying Benedict held Islam in high esteem and stressed that the central thrust of his speech was to condemn the use of any religious motivation for violence, whatever the religion. While Benedict expressed regret his speech caused hurt, he did not retract what he said or say he was sorry he uttered what proved to be explosive words. Anger was still intense in Muslim lands. Two churches were set on fire in the West Bank, raising to at least seven the number of church attacks in Palestinian areas over the weekend blamed on out- rage sparked by the speech. LUGOFF, S.C. Kidnapped girl sends text message to mother A man suspected of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl and keeping her in an under- ground bunker was charged yesterday with raping the teen, Kershaw County Sher- iff Steve McCaskill said. Kershaw County Sheriff Steve McCaskill said Vinson Filyaw had eluded police with an elaborate system of hideouts and bunkers since November 2005 when he t was charged with criminal sexual conduct on a 12-year-old girl. He surrendered yesterday morning to police as he walked along Interstate 20 near Columbia, about five miles from where investigators found the teenager. Police say Filyaw, 36, abducted the girl as she walked home from a school bus stop on Sept. 6. Investigators arrested Filyaw in neighboring Richland County about 24 hours after rescuing the girl, who sent a text message to her mother on Filyaw's phone while he was a sleep Wednesday, McCaskill said. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Space station bids farewell to first guests The international space station's three residents bade farewell to one set of house- guests yesterday and prepared for the arrival of more visitors. The send-off of space shuttle Atlantis's six astronauts yesterday was the start of a week of heavy traffic at the space station, the equivalent of rush hour in space. A Russian Soyuz vehicle ferrying two new station crew members and the first female space tourist was set to launch overnight, followed by the departure of a Rus- sian cargo ship from the station on Monday. The Soyuz was scheduled to arrive at the space station early Wednesday, and Atlantis was set to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida later that day. KIRKUK, Iraq Series of bombings strike Kirkuk, killing 24 Six bombs killed 24 people and wounded 84 yesterday in Kirkuk, a northernoil city the Kurds want added to their self-ruled region. The violence came as politicians argued over federation legislation that a Sunni Arab party warned could tear Iraq apart. The tortured bodies of 15 people were found elsewhere, probable victims of worsening sectarian reprisals, and the U.S. military announced that a sailor assigned to the Marines died Saturday from wounds suffered during combat in Iraq's restive Anbar province. A joint U.S.-Iraqi operation in Diwaniyah rounded up 32 people suspected of terrorism.
