Bomb kills 5, hurts 19 in Seoul; police chief blames North Korea
SEOUL, South Korea — A bomb blasted ripped through Seoul's busy Kimpo International Airport yesterday, killing five people and wounding 19, authorities said. South Korea blamed the explosion on North Korea.
National Police Chief Kang Ming-chan said the blast was caused by an explosive device that went on at 3:12 p.m. in a trash can just outside a first-floor glass wall of the three-story airport terminal.
The five dead were South Koreans, including an electrician and two women who were at the airport to meet relatives arriving from Japan, officials said. No foreigners were among the 19 wounded, authorities said.
Prime Minister Lho Shin-yong called an emergency meeting of key Cabinet ministers and ordered Seoul police on an alert status known as "Lightning No. 1." Police patrols were increased and people considered suspicious were being questioned.
At a news conference, Kang said the explosion was a North Korea-engineered attempt to disrupt the 10th Asian Games opening in Seoul next Saturday with about 5,300 athletes and officials from 29 countries participating.
Seoul officials have warned against possible attacks by North Korean agents, international terrorist groups or anti-government student activists who have vowed to scuttle the Seoul games.
South Korea and communist North Korea have remained bitter enemies since the division of the Korean peninsula following World War II.
Daniloff denies Soviet claims
MOSCOW - U.S. newsman Nicholas Daniloff denied yesterday Soviet claims that he admitted taking part
in a CIA operation and said Kremlin officials were using a crude distortion of his testimony to undermine his credibility.
He gave his first detailed account of his Aug. 30 arrest and 13 days at Lefortova Prison during a news conference at the U.S. Commercial Office, a building near the U.S. Embassy.
his creation, Daniloff, 51, a correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, repeatedly denied he ever worked for the CIA or had any connection to an intelligence agency.
hear the U.S. Embassy
He said being released in the custody of the U.S. ambassador was a great relief from the sort of mental torture he had to bear over the last two weeks.
Daniloff said he still faces a three-count espionage indictment, must be available for questioning and is not permitted to leave the Moscow area.
Similar restrictions apply to Gennady Zakharov, a Soviet physicist and United Nations employee charged in New York with espionage. He was released in the pre-trial custody of Soviet Ambassador Yuri Dubinin in exchange for Daniiloff's conditional release here.
S. Africa orders school closings
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The government yesterday continued its crackdown on campus protest against apartheid, ordering 13 schools, including 10 in the black township of Soweto, to close for the school year.
Braam Fourie, education director, said the segregated schools were closed because poor attendance and continued disruption made effective education impossible.
Ten schools were ordered closed in Soweto, two in townships east of Johannesburg and one in Lamontville, a ghetto near the east coast port city of Durban.
Last week, authorities closed 20 schools in towns around Port Elizabeth in the eastern Cape Province and warned that schools inside Port Elizabeth would shut down if attendance dropped below 80 percent.
Black schools have been centers of protest during the nation's two years of racial violence. White authorities have taken increasingly harsh steps in recent months to curb campus unrest.
Last week, the government bowed to student demands for the withdrawal of troops and police from schoolyards.
Authorities so far have refused to approve other demands, including the abolition of corporal punishment and the introduction of councils elected by the students to run the country's segregated black schools.
Officials agreed in negotiations with a group of anti-government black clergymen to keep Port Elizabeth schools open if attendance levels stayed above 80 percent.
Police stress studied in report
WASHINGTON - A Justice Department study released recently indicates that police departments must devote more time and energy to help officers cope with the rigors of their jobs.
The study, by the National Institute of Justice, did not compare the stress level of police work with other jobs, but said the very nature of law enforcement — particularly for the police officer on the beat — is inherently stressful.
Police departments around the nation have recognized in the last decade that police need some help coping with their jobs. However, the departments still need to devote more resources to setting up anti-stress programs and broadening existing efforts.
"Law enforcement is one of the most demanding and nerve-racking of all occupations," said James Stewart, institute director, in a statement accompanying the report.
The 145-page report, "Coping with Police Stress," also cited other studies that showed police marriages were among the most likely to end in divorce.
The study examined eight of the 75 police departments in the country with anti-stress programs: Albuquerque, N.M.; Boston; Los Angeles County; Miami; New York; Rochester, N.Y.; San Francisco and Tucson. Ariz.
The study made 40 recommendations about ant-stress programs and urged police officials in other
cities to make such services available to police officers. The study did not, however, compare the stress levels of police officers in departments with anti-stress programs to those without such programs.
Committee questions evangelist
WASHINGTON — According to television evangelist the Rev. Pat Robertson, who is thinking about running for the Oval Office, God is still in the miracle business. According to a committee of scientists and religious authorities, Robertson is in the charade business.
The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Religion, a non-profit group with what some Christians would call a secular humanist outlook, takes issue with faith-healing in general and Robertson's variety in particular.
Each week on his television show, "The 700 Club," aired on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson says that simply by hearing about a listener's problem, he can prompt healing through the power of prayer — and proceeds to do so on the air, announcing a cure has been effected.
"We have not found any evidence that physical ill-nesses are cured." said Paul Kurtz, a committee member and professor of philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo. "It may be that anxiety or some other psychosomatic illness may be alleviated at least temporarily. We're not denying that."
Kurtz said, however, they claim to cure physical illnesses, which is very dangerous.
The danger, Kurtz said, is that someone with a serious disease like diabetes may fail to seek legitimate medical attention under the delusion that he had been healed.
