THE NEWS in brief
Warrensburg, Mo.
Johnson County mother charged with murder, assault of her children
The mother of three young children was charged yesterday with murdering her youngest and seriously injuring the other two in an attack at the family's rural home.
The Associated Press
Angela M. Booker, 27, was arraigned on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault in the Sunday night incident at their home in Johnson County, about 50 miles southeast of Kansas City.
The petite woman cried throughout the brief hearing, at which she also requested a public defender. She responded, "I don't know," to several questions posed during the hearing.
Ricky Bryant, 16 months, died Sunday night at an independence hospital after he'd been shot in the head. Four-year-old Dennis Bryant was in critical condition yesterday afternoon with a gunshot wound to the head, and Brittany Bryant, 6, was in serious condition with stab wounds from scissors, said a spokesman for Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

Russia to pull troops from Lithuania
Russia has agreed to complete its troop withdrawal from Lithuania, possibly ending a 50-year-old military presence this week.
The Associated Press
Lithuanian President Aligirdas Brazauskausk said the last troops would be out by today. Yeltsin representative Anatoly Krasikov said the troop withdrawal "will be resumed and completed soon," but did not give a date.
"There has been compromise on both sides," Brazauskas said in a nationwide radio address yesterday. Russia stopped the withdrawal on Aug. 18, complaining that Lithuania suddenly had demanded $146 billion in payments to compensate for Soviet occupation.
Brazauskas said he and Yeltsin will meet next month, and compensation "will be a subject for further negotiations." Russia maintains it is responsible only for damages since the Baltic states regained their independence in 1992, after the Soviet collapse.
LAGOS. Nigeria
Union workers strike for democracy
The Associated Press
Gas stations ran dry and most air traffic was grounded nationwide yesterday as a 3-day-old strike by unions demanding democracy intensified.
Military air traffic controllers were pressed into duty at Nigeria's 17 airports to replace striking civilians, but only a few airliners were able to operate. A walkout by workers in the oil industry has shut off fuel shipments.
The protest was by far the broadest and most effective protest action since Gen. Ibrahim Babangida abruptly annulled June elections he apparently lost. But it is unclear whether the level of participation can be sustained long enough to pressure the interim government to accede to the opposition's demands. Previous protests have faded after a few days.
New York
ATF faulted in report on Waco raid
The Associated Press
A review of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' raid on the Branch Davidian cult faults top agency officials for mistakes in planning and execution The New York Times reported yesterday.
The Treasury Department's internal inquiry found that senior ATF officials put agents with no paramilitary training in charge of the raid near Waco, Texas.
The findings cast doubt on the future of Stephen Higgins, the director of the ATF, a division of the Treasury Department, the Times said.
The 51-day standoff ended April 19 when a fire killed most of the cult members, including 17 children.
The Times said investigators also found that senior officials were "too detached" from the operation, and that Higgins and others made misleading statements about what had occurred. Four ATF agents and at least six cult members were killed in the Feb. 28 raid.
San Francisco
Officers denied later imprisonment
The Associated Press
The two policemen convicted of violating Rodney King's civil rights will go to prison in four weeks, a federal appeals court has ruled.
In an order made public Monday, the Ninth U.S. Court of Appeals refused to delay the scheduled Sept. 27 imprisonment of Officer Laurence Powell and Sgt. Stacey Koon, saying each was convicted of a "crime of violence."
Those convicted of violent crimes are normally ineligible for bail during their appeals. The court said the Los Angeles police officers had failed to prove that their circumstances were exceptional enough to warrant release on bail.
The white officers were sentenced to 21/2 years in prison after a federal jury convicted them of violating the civil rights of King, who is African American, during a 1991 beating that was videotaped by an amateur camera operator. Their acquittals in a California courtigned rioting in Los Angeles during which 54 people were killed.
Winder. Ga.
Train crash forces evacuations
The Associated Press
A train carrying hazardous materials crashed into a tractor-trailer rig at a railroad crossing yesterday, setting some train cars on fire and prompting authorities to evacuate the surrounding quarter-mile area.
At least two people were injured in the wreck, which occurred about two miles west of the north-central Georgia town, said Buddy Hardigree of the Barrow County Emergency Management Agency.
Authorities were evacuating a trailer park and other residences within a quarter-mile of the accident because one of the cars was carrying a flammable, hazardous substance, said Tom Bell, a volunteer with the Barrow County Fire Department.
The car with the hazardous material was only a few cars away from those that were on fire, he said.
A highway between Winder and Auburn was closed. Winder is a town of 7,300 northeast of Atlanta.
