Anti-abortion activist ordered to stand trial in shooting of doctor
An anti-abortion activist charged with shooting and wounding a physician outside his abortion clinic was ordered yesterday to stand trial on attempted murder and assault charges.
During a preliminary hearing in Sedgwick County District Court, two workers from the clinic of George Tiller, physician, identified Rachelle "Shelley" Shannon, 37, of Grants Pass, Ore., as the woman who shot Tiller on Aug. 19 and pointed a gun at them.
Judge Michael Corrigan ordered Shannon held on $1 million bond and scheduled trial for Nov. 15 on one count of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Tiller, a frequent target of protests because he is one of about a half-dozen U.S. physicians who perform late-term abortions, said under cross-examination that he thought the woman who attacked him was Shannon but that he could not positively identify her.
The assault charges, filed yesterday, alleged that Shannon pointed the gun at the two clinic workers.
He testified he was "absolutely, unequivocally terrified" as he chased a woman who had fired five gunshots into his vehicle and wounded him in both arms outside his abortion clinic.
The two clinic employees positively identified Shannon, however, pointing her out in the courtroom.
Traops have been trying to hunt down Aidid since June, when his fighters killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in a series of ambushes.
Since the United Nations took over the humanitarian effort in Somalia from a U.S.-led military coalition in May, 47 peacekeepers have been killed and 175 have been wounded.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Bill will give Blacks governing power
The bill would set up a Transitional Executive Council, a multiparty body that would assume joint control of some functions with the white-minority government even before multiracial elections take place in April.
Negotiators agreed yesterday on a draft law that would give Blacks a role in running the country for the first time in South Africa's history.
Thabo Mbeki, chair of the African National Congress, said yesterday that approval of the transitional council by Parliament would allow the ANC to call for all remaining international economic sanctions to be lifted. He said such an announcement by the end of the month was likely
The draft law would severely inhibit President F W. de Klerk's power to act independently, requiring him to consult with the transitional council on security matters and any major changes to laws.
The draft law and three others approved by negotiators now will go to Parliament, which convenes in a special session next week.
