Prosecution accused of hiding information The Associated Press ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Unclassified summaries of interviews with Taliban and al-Qaida captives should not be kept secret as the government proposes, lawyers for U.S.-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh said yesterday. They accused prosecutors of trying to shield information favorable to the defense while using nationally televised news conferences, talk shows and selected releases of information to publicly disclose negative information about Lindh, 21. "Allowing the government to succeed in this effort seems, at the very least, to offend fundamental fairness," the lawyers said in a written argument filed in U.S. District Court. Prosecutors have offered defense lawyers the reports if U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III orders they be kept secret. Public disclosure would provide terrorists valuable information, the government contends. The detainees are held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Lindh's lawyers said they would accept an order keeping detainee identities But the defense said information should be public if it showed Lindh had no role in a prison uprising in Afghanistan during which a CIA officer, Johnny Micheal Spann, was killed. secret, along with portions that would harm investigations. "If, for example, a detainee told the government that the uprising was not the result of a plan but the spontaneous action of a few individuals, that information ... would be highly relevant to Mr. Lindh's defense," the defense said. The defense also contested a proposal to bar Lindh's lawyers from sharing the summaries with potential defense witnesses. While they could get a waiver from the government, this would require a notification that would reveal defense strategy, the lawyers said. "The same would be true of an observation ... that Mr. Lindh did not participate in the uprising but merely sought shelter" during the fighting. Lindh's attorneys also objected to a secrecy request for seven unclassified reports that described the Afghanistan uprising but had no information on Lindh. The Associated Press Security workers arrested at Washington-area airports ALEXANDRIA, Va. Federal authorities have arrested 94 workers at two Washington-area airports on charges of fraudulently obtaining security badges. The arrests at Washington Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan National Airport are part of an ongoing investigation to ensure that people who have access to secure areas of our airports are worthy of the trust granted to them," Attorney General John Ashcroft said. Three of the 94 workers arrested yesterday are wanted on state charges, Ashcroft said. All 94 are accused of "widespread fraud" in obtaining the security badges, which allow individuals to enter secure areas where airplanes are loaded. "There will be zero tolerance of security breaches at our nation's airports," he said. Ashcroft said the aim of the investigation was to ensure that in a time of terrorist threats airport employees with access to secure areas "are worthy of the trust granted to them." He described the investigation as a "painstaking and labor-intensive effort." He said 11 agencies examined employment records of more than 20,000 airport employees during the investigation. Charges against the 94 workers include falsifying Social Security applications and violating immigration laws. Ashcroft said the charges carried penalties of up to 10 years in prison, fines of up to $250,000 and deportation. "What this investigation uncovered should be a wakeup call for every airport in America," Ashcroft said. He noted that the investigation began late last year when U.S. Attorney Paul J. McNulty formed a task force to "investigate the integrity of the security clearance process at Dulles and Reagan National airports." The hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11 had taken off from Dulles. McNulty said there was no evidence that any of those arrested yesterday were connected to the Sept. 11 attacks or any other terrorist activity. in a separate sweep, law enforcement officials said arrests also had been made at Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Similar arrests have occurred in recent weeks in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and San Francisco. In all about 400 workers have been arrested or indicted since Sept. 11, including those yesterday, officials said. The investigation, called Operation Tarmac, spread to 11 airports before yesterday's arrests. While law enforcement officials said none of those arrested have been linked to terrorism, some aviation experts said the workers were in position to help smuggle bombs or weapons aboard aircraft. Two people dead, 260 injured from head-on train wreck The Associated Press PLACENTIA, Calif. — A mile-long freight train plowed head-on into a commuter train during rush hour yesterday, killing two people and injuring at least 260 people, officials said. The northbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train struck the southbound Metrolink train at 8:10 a.m. south of Los Angeles, buckling and derailing two cars packed with passengers, authorities and witnesses said. "Our train stopped and the next thing you know — boom!— it hit," passenger Gene Ogelsby said. Jackie Bisesi saw the crash while she was pumping gas at a nearby station, about 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. "I heard the horn. I saw the train coming toward it. I said, 'Oh my God!' It's on the same track! It's going to hit, it's going to hit!' We all started running forward," she said. Metrolink officials said they didn't know how the trains wound up on the same track. One person died at the scene and another died later. Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said. The victims were not immediately identified. Up to 300 people were aboard the commuter train, Metrolink spokeswoman Sharon Gavin said. Twenty-five of about 260 injured were immediately taken to hospitals and 45 others were to be transported, she said. "The train stopped for a couple seconds. The freight train just hit us," Metrolink passenger Scott Wilson said. "For me I was facing backward, Maybe that's how I ended up being OK." Another passenger, Kim Bailey, also recalled the train stopping just before the crash. "I was thrown forward onto my knees with my face into the seat, and I was just confused. I just saw darkness and I didn't know what happened," she said. Firefighters, some using ladders, helped passengers out of the derailed two-decker Metrolink train and treated the most seriously injured in a triage area. Many of the victims had internal injuries and broken bones. All area hospitals were put on alert. Kaiser Permanente Orange County Medical Center in Anaheim got 10 patients. Two were in guarded condition and the rest had minor injuries, spokeswoman Nora Norman said. St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton said it had two critically injured patients. The Metrolink 809 was headed from Riverside to San Juan Capistrano on a route that serves 3,000 passengers daily. It left the west Corona station and was scheduled to stop at the Anaheim Canyon station. The KU School of Fine Arts and Kansas Union present Brown Bag Classics Make your lunch a classic.
