Iraq expected to accept U.N.'s call for disarmament
CAIRO, Egypt — Iraq was expected to accept the U.N. resolution to disarm Egypt's foreign minister said yesterday. But if Baghdad fails to follow through, U.S. officials said a Pentagon plan called for more than 200,000 troops to invade Iraq.
Iraq's foreign minister said Saturday no decision had been taken but several other Arab diplomats at a meeting of the Arab League here said that in effect Iraq had already accepted the resolution.
"I think we can expect a positive position by the Iraqis," said the Egyptian envoy, Ahmed Maher.
The New York Times reported Saturday on its Web site that Bush has approved a Pentagon plan for invading Iraq, should the new U.N. arms inspection effort fail.
Several White House officials reached Saturday declined to comment on the report, but defense officials said on condition of anonymity that the plan calls for a land, sea and air force of 200,000 to 250,000 troops, at least twice the number initially considered.

Malvo admits role in attacks during seven-hour interview
FAIRFAX, Va. — John Lee Malvo, the 17-year-old accused in a series of sniper attacks that terrorized the Washington, D.C., suburbs, admitted during a seven-hour interrogation that he was the triggerman in some of the killings, The Washington Post reported.
In a story for Sunday editions posted on its Web site, The Post, citing sources, said Malvo provided details about several of the killings, and admitted shooting FBI analyst Linda Franklin on Oct. 14.
Malvo had already been charged with capital murder in the case, and was being interviewed after being moved to Fairfax County, where he will be tried.
Malvo and John Allen Muhammad, 41, are charged with carrying out the shooting spree over a three-week period in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. They are also accused of
shootings in Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.
In all, the pair have been accused of shooting 19 people, killing 13 of them. Two other shootings are under investigation.
According to The Post, Malvo told investigators the shootings were well planned and involved scouting missions—and that he and his partner behaved like soldiers, one serving as a lookout and the other as the shooter.
The pair used two-way radios to communicate, the paper reported, and if traffic or other conditions weren't acceptable, they would not shoot. Sources said Malvo also said the pair moved around to create confusion, and watched news coverage of their crimes.
Malvo was chatty and even boastful during the interview, sources told The Post, but refused to talk about Muhammad—or to even mention his name, instead using the term "we."

Officials say spill at creek was caused by gas vandals
TOPEKA — Vandals are suspected of causing at least 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel to spill from at least one train engine and flow into a creek.
Topeka Fire Department spokesman Greg Bailey said a hazardous materials crew contained the spill Friday in Shunganunga Creek before it reached the Kansas River. The cleanup was expected to continue through the weekend.
The spill originated from a storage yard where 20 locomotive engines were parked, said Steve Forsberg, a spokesman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp.
He said no one was able to find a natural source for the leak, and he suspects someone was siphoning.
Julie Coleman, the northeast district environmental administrator for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the spill was not expected to affect wildlife because the fuel was contained and the contaminated soil would be removed.

Man charged with murder for second time in 3 years
and armed criminal action in the deaths Friday of Melody Cooley, 21, and Antoine Cooley, 19.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A man acquitted of murder in April and recently released from prison has been charged with killing his wife and brother after seeing them kiss.
Police said Vincent Cooley said he saw his wife kissing his brother late Friday. Antoine Cooley had moved in with the couple after his recent release from jail.
Clay County prosecutors on Saturday charged Vincent D. Cooley, 24, with two counts of first-degree murder
Vincent Cooley got a gun and shot Antoine at the bedroom door, then shot his wife as she stood near the front door. Vincent Cooley then went to the kitchen, got a knife and slit his
wife's throat, police said.
Vincent Cooley was charged in 1999 in the murder of Clifton Aaron, 21. At trial, Cooley admitted he killed Aaron after the two had smoked PCP. He contended it was self-defense.
Jurors found him not guilty of second-degree murder and armed criminal action. He was convicted of possessing PCP and a Jackson County judge sentenced Cooley to 16 years.
