Poll: Irish oppose abortion ban
Two-thirds of the people in the Irish Republic want the constitution's virtual ban on abortions removed or changed, according to a poll released yesterday.
More than 4,000 Irish women travel to Britain each year for abortions.
Last week, Ireland's Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision and ruled that a 14-year-old rape victim could leave Ireland to get a legal abortion elsewhere.
The poll by Market Research Bureau of Ireland found that 66 percent of those surveyed wanted the ban removed or changed to allow abortions in certain cases. The poll of 1,000 voters had a margin of error of three percentage points.
The measure would require "substantial progress" by China in human rights, trade and weapons proliferation before a most-favored-envelope treaty is renewed. That trade status expires in June.
President Bush yesterday vetoed Congress's attempt to impose conditions on trade relations with China, saying it would weaken Beijing's ties with the West and result in further repression.
Bush vetoes trade restrictions
The veto seems likely to stick.
The Senate approved the measure Feb. 25 by a vote of 59-39, well short of the two-thirds needed to override a veto. The House approved the bill 409-21 in November.

Ancient Egyptian statue stolen
A half-ton black granite statue of the ancient Egyptian war goddess Sekhmet was stolen over the weekend in Luxor, the al-Ahram Press Service reported Monday.
The statue was discovered missing from an open-air temple Saturday when morning guards took over from the overnight shift, the news agency said. The statue dates to about 1,500 B.C.
The press service said that police arrested six night guards at the temple in Luxor, 450 miles south of Cairo, where the statue disappeared. It said that the guards were under suspicion because the 3-foot-high, $1/2$-foot-wide statue required a crane to be moved and a truck to carry it.
Serbian militants fire on unity demonstration

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — Serbian militants opened fire on about 1,000 peace demonstrators in Bosnia-Hercegovina's capital yesterday, a day after Muslims and Croatians in the republic voted to leave the Yuzoslav federation. Three people were injured.
CHAINS FIXEDFAST
Serbians, who make up a third of Bosnia's population, want to stay with Yugoslavia, and the head of Bosnia's Serbians said that independence would mean war.

At least four people reportedly were killed in shooting incidents Sunday night after Serbian extremists parked bikes and trucks across roads, scaling off houses and roads, where were cut, and the radio warned residents to stay home.
Heavy shooting could be heard last night throughout the city where a young Serbian's assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered World War I.
The marchers, young people who favor a multicultural, united Bosnia, hit the pavement or fled in panic as bullets whistled overhead. The militants then lowered their sights and continued firing. Some witnesses and police said that gunfire came from a nearby army barracks as well.
"We are not going to accept an independent Bosnia-Hercegovina," said the leader. Radovan Karadzic.

All sides said that a conflict among Muslims, Serbians and Croatians in Bosnia would be far deadlier than the civil war in Croatia. As many as 10,000 people were killed in Croatia, where the Serbian-led army sided with Serbian irregulars to battle Croatians after the republic declared independence June 25.
Although information from the files has been regularly leaked for the past two years, the broader access allowed this year has resulted in almost daily scandals.
The German government on Jan. 1 allowed private individuals who had been surveyed by the Stasi to apply to see their files.
Heinz Eggert, interior minister of the east German state of Saxony and a former anti-Communist dissident, said he discovered that his doctor was an agent.
But Interior Minister Rudolf Seiters says the government has no plans to close access to the 6 million files compiled by the secret police, known as the Stasi
More than 600,000 people have applied, and many have been shocked to learn that family members and friends were listed as spies.

protesting any moves to restrict access to the files.
Manfred Stolpe, governor of eastern Germany's Brandenburg state, is battling calls for his resignation that began because the files list him as having been an informal Stasi agent when he was a top official of the Lutheran Church.

BERLIN - Now that they have seen some of the sleazy and sinister things inside, some people want to slam the door on the files left behind by the East German secret police.
The files, packed with hard facts and shaky innuendo, have created a stifling atmosphere of paranoia and finger-pointing in Germany.
