MANILA, Philippines — Soldiers mutinied across the northern coast of the country's second-largest island today in what appeared to be an effort to draw down an attempt to overthrow the Amazon Aquacan.

There were led by the former chief of staff of Aquino's guard force, who has been at large since participating in a bloody December coup attempt.
Witnesses said rebels were marching around the streets of Cagayan de Oro in a virtual "victory parade," attracting large crowds of curiosity seekers.
The armed forces went on nationwide alert, and Aquino gathered with her Cabinet, senior military officers and congressmen at the presidential palace.
Officials said about 200 rebels launched the revolt about 1 a.m., seizing the 402nd Brigade army base in Bukum, about 500 miles south of Macedonia. The attackers were canceled and schools on the island closed.

Ghadhadi calls for relocation of state of Israel to Europe
The state of Israel should be moved to Europe so that European pays the price for past anti-Semitic persecution, Libyan leader Col. Mount Zion said in a statement read to the U.N. General Assembly.
The statement, read in Arabic by Libyan Foreign Minister Jadallah Azour El- Taly, said that the land now occupied by Israel should become a homeland for Palestinians.
"The establishing of the Jewish state in Palestine was a revenge against Nazism, which tortured the Jews in Europe," Ghadhafi said.

BERLIN — Thousands of leftist radicals marched through central Berlin yesterday, throwing stones, smashing windows and pelting police with paint to express their opposition to German

unity.
More than 20,000 people marched from a square in the western part of the city to a large square in the east side.
The theme of the march was that united Germany was experiencing a rise in nationalism and racism. Many of the radicals were demanding that the German state be abolished entirely.

The newly combined Berlin police force dispatched hundreds of law enforcement officials to Alexanderplatz, the large square east of the Brandenburg gate, which is a favorite place for
About 15 to 20 youths broke off from the main group and rampaged through Alexanderplatz. They pummeled passers-by and demolished an outdoor stand selling clothing.
Thousands of riot police flanked the protest march and sealed off an adjacent street where a large group was chanting. "Germany go away!" "Germany go to pieces" and "Never again Germania."
The group was prevented from entering Alexanderplatz where huge festivities were going on to celebrate the unification of the two German states.
The protesters, most of them members of West Berlin's radical left-wing scene, rallied into the evening at a large square across from the Alexanderplatz.

Seven protesters scaled flagpoles at the square and removed the newly unfurred West German flags that replaced East Germany's flag. They then hoisted the red-and-black flag of the anarchist movement and the former Communist flag of East Germany.
Several windows were smashed and police used tear gas against the agitators, who melted away into the crowd of revelers celebrating German unity.
Jury rules explicit album obscene
The Associated Press
FOR LAUADERDALE, Fla. — An all-Wiray white jury yesterday convicted a store owner of obscenity for selling a sexually explicit album by the Black rap band Screw. Grew that had been convicted on an illegal judgment.
The panel of five women and one man took only 2½ hours to return the verdict against Charles Freeman, 31. The misdemeanor conviction carries a possible one-year jail sentence and $1,000 fine. Broward County Judge Paul Backman set sentencing for Nov. 2.
"I'm absolutely stunned by the verdict," defense attorney Bruce Rogue said.
Record store owner found guilty in 2 Live Crew case
authority Bruce Bacon says.
Freeman said the jurors were unfair and ignorant of the Black community. The departing jurors had no comment.
"I felt that the jury paid very close attention to the evidence," said prosecutor Leslie Robson. "They came back with a verdict that spoke the truth."
The Miami-based rap group and its album "As Nasty as They Wanna Be" have been at the center of a First Amendment dispute since June 6, when a Fort Lauderdale federal judge ruled their lyrics obscene. The lyrics have been criticized as promoting violence against women.
Freeman, who is Black, was arrested two days after the ruling when he sold the album to undercover police officers at his E C record store in Fort Lauderdale.
Three members of the rap group were later charged with performing obscene material at a nightclub show in nearby Hollywood. Their trial date is Oct. 9.
The federal judge's ruling banned the sale of the album in three south Florida counties, but opened a flood of legal cases around the country against the album. Shortly after the decision, sales of the 2-year-old album nationwide approached 2 million.
“It's the first time in (U.S.) musical history that a piece of work has been found to be obscene,” said Trish Heimers, spokesperson for the Recording Industry Association of America, a Washington-based trade association for U.S. record companies. “There are not small steps toward censorship, and I would most certainly characterize this as censorship.”
"Is this America?" asked Robyn Blumner, executive director of the state American Civil Liberties Union chapter. "These things happen in a time when we have ideas and may not be expressed upon penalty of law."
In February, a record store owner in Alexander City, Ala., was acquitted of obscenity for selling the album.
Broward County Sheriff Nick Navarro, who led the case, said, "This was never a case of censorship but rather one man flouting the law. The First Amendment is alive and well."
Rogow, who also represents the band members, promised an appeal on grounds that the jury pool did not represent the community and that evidence was improperly excluded available in the county was improperly excluded
county was misplaced in a jury.
"What you have is a jury that could not represent all of Broward County," he said. "Certainly it was not a cross section of the county."
