Jameh Jameh's cause of death unclear BEIRUT (AP) - One of Syria's most powerful military officers was killed in fighting with al- Qaida-linked Islamic extremists in an oil-rich eastern province largely controlled by the rebels, Syrian state-run television said Thursday. The fighting came amid a new push to hold an elusive peace conference for Syria's civil war, with the government proposing the talks start late next month, though there was no sign the opposition would attend. Maj. Gen. Jameh Jameh was killed in the provincial capital of Deir el-Zour, where he was state-run TV said. He was the most senior military officer to be killed in more than a year. The report didnot say when or how Jameh was killed, only that he died "while he was carry- ing out his mission in defending Syria and its people." The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Jameh was killed by a sniper bullet during clashes with rebels, including members of al-Qaida- linked Jabhat al-Nusra or Nusra Front. Jameh's cousin, Haitham Jameh, told Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV that the gen- eral was killed when a bomb exploded as he led his troops in an operation in Deir el-Zour, site of more than a year of clashes between regime forces and rebel fighters, who control most of the He was the most powerful Syrian officer to be killed since a July 2012 bomb attack on a Cabi- net meeting in Damascus killed four top officials, including the defense minister and his dep- uty, who was President Bashar Assad's brother-in-law. That attack also wounded the interior minister. Jameh played a major role in Lebanon when Damascus dominated its smaller neighbor. When Syrian troops withdrew from Lebanon in 2005, ending nearly a three-decade military presence, Jameh was in charge of Syrian intelligence in the capi- tal, Beirut. He was amongseveraltop Syr- ian officers suspectedofhavinga role in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Syria denies any involvement in the slaying. 0 CHARLE DAKAPAK/AP President Barack Obama speaks in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, Thursday, Oct.17. Lawmakers Wednesday voted to avoid a financial default and reopen the government after a 16-day partial shutdown. Stock market reaches an all ime high after debt deal vote With the debt crisis averted market on the incline again NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market hit an all-time high Thursday as investors put the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis behind them and focused on corporate earnings. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 11.61 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 1,733.15 - a record close. The market rose throughout the day as investors got back to focusing on corporate earnings and economic data. American Express and Verizon rose the most in the Dow Jones industrial average after reporting earn- ings that beat expectations from financial analysts. The Dow ended the day down two points, or 0.01 percent, to 15,371.65. The index of 30 big U.S. companies was held back by declines in IBM, Goldman Sachs and UnitedHealth. IBM's third-quarter revenue fell and missed Wall Street's forecast by more than $1 billion. The stock closed down $11.90, or 6 percent, to $174.80. Earlier, it had touched its lowest level of the past year - $172.57 Goldman Sachs also weighed down the index. The investment bank's revenue fell sharply as trading in bonds and other secu- rities slowed. Goldman fell $3.93, or 2.4 percent, to $158.32. The focus on earnings is a change of pace for Wall Street, which had been absorbed in Washington's political drama over the last month. Now that the U.S. has avoided the possibility of default, at least for a few months, earnings news is expected to dominate trading for the next couple weeks. So far, only 79 companies in the S&P 500 have reported third-quarter results, according to S&P Capital IQ. Analysts expect earnings at those companies to increase 3.3 percent over the same period a year ago. "I don't think we can com- pletely close the door on the debt ceiling chapter just yet, but we can get backto the stuff that real- ly matters," said Jonathan Cor- pina, who manages trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for Meridian Equity Partners. Other indexes also posted big gains. The Nasdaq composite closed up 23,71 points, or 0.6 per- cent, to 3,863.15. The Russell 2000 index, which is made up of primarily smaller, riskier companies, also hit an all-time high. It closed up 9.85 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,102.27 and has risen nearly 30 percent this year. Market analysts think the 16-day partial shutdown of the government caused billions of dollars of damage to the econ- omy. Government employees were furloughed, contracts were delayed, and tourism declined at national parks. Analysts at Wells Fargo said the shutdown likely lowered eco- nomic growth by 0.5 percentage point. There remain broader con- cerns that Democrats and Republicans won't be able to draw up a longer-term budget. The deal approved late Wednes- day only permits the Treasury Department to borrow through Feb. 7 and fund the government through Jan. 15.
