In a statement issued at the end of a regular meeting in the western city of Trier, the Ger- man Bishops Conference said Catholic hospitals still can't provide drugs that would lead to the death of an embryo. The German church was under pressure to clarify its stance after two Catholic hos- pitals in Cologne turned away a rape victim because of concerns over the pill. Cologne's arch- bishop, Cardinal Joachim Meis- ner, said last month that the church was "deeply ashamed by this incident because it goes against our Christian mission." At the end of January, Meis- ner said it was "justifiable" in such cases to provide drugs that prevent conception. He later said he had consulted with Pope Benedict XVI's secretary, Georg Gaenswein, and was told that "everything is alright." For decades, Catholic hos- pitals have in cases of rape allowed the use of spermicidal wash to impede sperm from reaching an egg and drugs to prevent the victim from ovulat- ing. The rationale is that rape is an act of violence against a woman; to prevent the attack from continuing, a hospital can use drugs to impede conception. Church teaching, however, holds that life begins at concep- tion, and thus forbids the use of drugs that would intercept, H,-,, dislodge or abort a fertilized egg, according to the Rev. Rob- ert Gahl, a moral theologian at Rome's Pontifical Holy Cross University. "This new determination by the German bishops is in full continuity with church teach- ing, and specifies how best to implement new pharmaceutical technology," Gahl said. Thursday's statement by the bishops stressed that rape victims "can of course receive human, medical, psychological and pastoral help in Catholic hospitals. "That can include prescrip- tion of the 'morning-after pill,' insofar as it has a preventive and not an abortive effect. Medical and pharmaceutical methods which result in the death of an embryo still may not be used." It said the bishops "trust that practical treatment in Catholic- run facilities will take place on the basis of these moral and theological guidelines."

Ind iabike bomb blasts shoppi ngarea, kills13 0 Bombing ranks as worst in the country in more than a year, hospitalizes 75 HYDERABAD, India (AP) - A pair of bombs exploded in a crowded shopping area in the southern Indian city of Hyder- abad, killing at least 13 people and wounding scores of oth- ers in the worst bombing in the country in more than a year. The blasts occurred about two minutes apart at around 7 p.m. Thursday outside a movie theater and a bus station, police said. Storefronts were shat- tered, motorcycles were covered in debris, and food and plates from a roadside restaurant were scattered on the ground near a tangle of dead bodies. Passersby rushed the wounded out of the area. "This is a dastardly attack, the guilty will not go unpun- ished," Prime Minister Manmo- han Singh said. He appealed to the public to remain calm. The bombs were attached to two bicycles about 150 meters (500 feet) apart in Dilsukh Nagar district, Home Minis- ter Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters in New Delhi. The district is a usually crowded shopping area near a residential neighborhood. When asked if the govern- ment had any suspects, Shinde responded: "We have to inves- tigate." India has been in a state of alert since Mohammed Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri, was hanged in a New Delhi jail nearly two weeks ago. Guru had been con- victed of involvement in a 2001 attack on India's Parliament that killed 14 people, including five gunmen. Many in Indian-ruled Kash- mir believe Guru dia not receive a fair trial, and the secrecy with which the execution was car- ried out fueled anger in a region where anti-India sentiment runs deep. Andhra Pradesh state Home Minister P. Sabita Reddy said 11 people died on the spot in the two blasts and another two suc- cumbed to their injuries in hos- pital on Thursday night. She said another 78 people were injured and hospitalized in the city. Top state police officer V. Dinesh Reddy said improvised explosive devices with nitro- gen compound were used in the blasts. Mahesh Kumar, a 21-year- old student, was heading home from a tutoring class when a bomb went off. "I heard a huge sound and something hit me, I fell down, and somebody brought me to the hospital," said Kumar, who suffered shrapnel wounds. Hyderabad, a city of 10 mil- lion in the state of Andhra Pradesh, is a hub of India's information technology indus- try and has a mixed population of Muslims and Hindus. "This (attack) is to disturb the peaceful living of all com- munities in Andhra Pradesh," said Kiran Kumar Reddy, the state's chief minister. The explosions were the first major bomb attack to hit India since a September 2011 blast outside the High Court in New Delhi killed 13 people. The gov- ernment has been heavily criti- cized for its failure to arrest the masterminds behind previous bombings. 6
