NATION/WORLD In this image from NASA TV, European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter of Germany floats in the laboratory of the station yesterday. Chem-ical spills " ." in space station Equipment failure causes first- ever emergency declared aboard international station HOUSTON (AP) - An oxygen generator on the inter- national space station overheated and spilled a toxic irri- tant yesterday, forcing the three-man crew to don masks and gloves in the first emergency ever declared aboard the 8-year-old orbiting outpost. NASA said the crew members' lives were never in any danger. They cleaned up the spill with towels. A charcoal filter scrubbed the irritant out of the air. And within a cou- ple of hours, life aboard the station 220 miles above Earth was nearly back to normal. But it was the biggest scare this smooth-running space station has had. Although it paled in comparison to two fires and a collision on two previous Russian space stations and the nearly fatal explosion on Apollo 13, the incident served as a reminder of how life-and-death emergencies can come out of nowhere. It is why an emergency space capsule is always parked at the outpost in case of a sudden order to abandon ship. NASA never came close to ordering the crew to leave the station, space station program manager Mike Suffredi- ni said. But astronauts did reveal they were worried. About three hours after the emergency, station com- mander Pavel Vinogradov tried to explain what happened to Moscow Mission Control, saying "different thoughts came to my mind." Russian flight controllers interrupted, telling him: "We were kind of nervous here, too." NASA and the Russian space agency were investigating what caused the problem. "We don't exactly know the nature of the spill ... but the crew is doing well," Suffredini. "It's not a life-threatening material" The astronauts sounded an alarm after the equipment began smoking and turned off the ventilation system to avoid spreading any fumes from leaking drops of potas- sium hydroxide, which is used to power batteries. Monitors showed that the cabin air was safe. "It was just an irritant issue," NASA spokesman James Hartsfield said. "The crew did exactly the right things they were trained to do." WASHINGTON White House to revise terror proposal The White House said Monday it will send lawmakers a revised proposal for dealing with terrorism suspects as indications grew that President Bush's plan was meeting increased resistance among Republicans in both chambers of Congress. White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino said the administration was sending the new language in hopes of reaching an agreement. A revolt by GOP senators, who have written their own proposal giving terror detain- ees more rights than the administration wants, has embarrassed the White House at a time when Republicans want to use their security policies as a main platform in November's congressional elections. "Our commitment to finding a resolution is strong," Perino said. A week after a Republican-led Senate committee defied Bush and approved terror-detainee legislation that the president vowed to block, three more GOP senators said they now opposed the administration's version, joining the four Republicans who had already come out against it. CAIRO, Egypt Al-Qaida in Iraq to pope: Islam will prevail Al-Qaida in Iraq warned Pope Benedict XVI yesterday that its war against Christianity and the West will go on until Islam takes over the world, and Iran's supreme leader called for more protests over the pontiff's remarks on Islam. Protests broke out in South Asia and Indonesia, with angry Muslims saying Benedict's statement of regreta day earlier did not go far enough. In southern Iraq, demonstrators carrying black flags burned an effigy of the pope. Islamic leaders around the world issued more condemnations of the pope's com- ments, but some moderates in the Middle East appeared to be trying to put a damp- er on the outrage, fearing it could spiral into attacks on Christians in the region. On Sunday, Benedict said he was "deeply sorry" over any hurt caused by his comments made in a speech last week, in which he quoted a medieval text charac- terizing some of the Prophet Muhammad's teachings as "evil and inhuman" and calling Islam a religion spread by the sword. Pentagon defends holding AP photographer The Pentagon defended yesterday its months-long detention of an Associated Press photographer in Iraq, asserting that it has authority to imprison him indefinitely with- out charges because it believes he had improper ties to insurgents. But journalism organizations said that covering all sides in the Iraq war sometimes requires contacts with insurgents. They called on the Pentagon to either bring charges against photographer Bilal Hussein so he can defend himself, or release him. Hussein, an Iraqi photographer employed by the AP, was captured in Ramadi on April 12 of this year. AP executives, who worked on his case behind the scenes for five months, on Sunday made a public call for the military to transfer him to Iraq's criminal justice system or release him. NEW YORK Bush arrives at UN with policy problems President Bush faced disagreement yesterday over how to confront Iran's nuclear ambitions and skepticism about his approach to Iraq and the Middle East as world leaders gathered for the U.N. General Assembly meeting. Still, Bush was upbeat, focusing on his push for democratic change and first lady Laura Bush's call for governments to embrace literacy programs to improve lives. "We don't believe freedom belongs only to the United States of America," Bush said at the White House Conference on Global Literacy hosted by his wife. "We believe that liberty is universal in its applications. We also believe strongly that as the world becomes more free, we'll see peace."
