Judge removed from LA trial
LOS ANGELES — The prosecution removed an African-American judge yesterday from the trial of three African-American men charged in the televised beating of a white truck driver during racially motivated rioting in April.
The district attorney's office said race was not a factor, claiming the prosecution used its right to challenge Superior Court Judge Roosevelt Dorn because he could not devote himself solely to the trial.
Damian Williams, Antoine Miller and Henry Watson were charged with attempted murder, aggravated mayhem, torture and related charges in the beating of trucker Reginald Denny.
Police kill intruder at university
BERKELEY, Calif. — Police yesterday shot and killed a knife-wielding woman who broke into the campus mansion of the chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley.
Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien and his wife, Di Hwa Tien, were warned by police that an intruder was in their home and were not hurt, authorities said.
The woman, identified as 20-year-old Rosebud Abigail Denovo, was shot by a police officer after she made some threatening movements, said Bob Sanders, a university representative.
Pro-democracy leader convicted
BELJING — Authorities yesterday convicted Wu Jiaxiang, the last person known to be awaiting trial in connection with the huge pro-democracy protests in 1989. He was freed because of time served.
Jiuxiang, 37, had spent more than three years in jail awaiting trial.
U.S. to airlift food
Coordination is important to prevent further violence in Somalia, officials say
The Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia — The Red Cross said yesterday that 11 of its workers were killed in Somalia and warned that huge international food-aid shipments to the starving country must be better coordinated or violence could worsen.
The United States plans to start airlifting food into the Horn of Africa nation this week.
Although tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, have died from warfare and drought in Somalia, the international community has only recently joined the international effort.
Up to 2 million people are estimated to be in imminent danger of dying from starvation. Aid programs so far have been undermined by widespread looting in the lawless country.
"Somalia still remains an extremely dangerous and volatile place, and large quantities of food swamping the country in an uncontrolled fashion. It has been a major security problems," the Red Cross said yesterday.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, or ICRC, said 11 employees were killed
Aug. 19 as the Red Cross was trying to transfer them and their families out of the city of Kismayu.
"They were of a different clan of those in Kismayu and felt unsafe," said Gregoire Taverner, an ICRC representative in Nairobi, Kenya.
He said local authorities had guaranteed the workers' safety. But uncontrolled elements stopped them at Kismayu's airport. In the confusion, the men were taken away and reportedly killed.
Once the U.S. airlift begins, Red Cross workers likely will handle the distribution of food in Somalia, U.S. officials have said.
The Red Cross, however, said if that was to the arrangement, the planes could not have U.S.
"It is in the principle of the ICRC to use the Red Cross markings and not carry arms in the means of transport," Tavernier said.
Stephen Hayes, a representative for the U.S. operation in Nairobi, said such questions were not new.
Brig. Gen. Frank Lubiti, who is leading the U.S. operation, said Friday, "We always carry our normal arms on these missions. It is not our intention to flex any military muscle. In Kenya, security is not my primary concern. In Somalia, my focus will change. It does not appear to be very stable."
Weinberger prosecutors say Bush supported Iran-Contra
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Then-Vice President George Bush disagreed with top officials who opposed secret U.S. arms sales to Iran, according to a document outlined by prosecutors in former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's criminal case.
A handwritten note taken by an aide to then-Secretary of State George Schulz said the vice president was on the other side of the arms sale debate, the prosecution said in court papers.
Bush has repeatedly refused to say what advice he gave President Reagan on the Iran arms sales. But in January 1988, while he was running for president, Bush also said he stood solidly with the president although he realized in hindsight that mistakes were made.
found nothing to criticize. Bush was interviewed by Iran-Contra prosecutors in January 1988 but was assured at the time that he was only a witness, not a subject or target of their probe.
A memo made public in December 1987 by the Senate Iran-Contr Select Committee showed that Bush fully supported Reagan's "risky operation" to sell arms to Iran.
The Tower Review Board, appointed by Reagan to investigate the Iran-Contra affair, concluded that Bush had been a minor player and
The panel said that memo represented the first evidence, albeit hearsey, that the investigative committee had found concerning the vice president's position on the Iran initiative.
Weinberger was charged June 16 with five counts, including perjury, false statements and obstruction for allegedly lying about the Iran-Contra affair. He is accused of concealing 1,700 pages of notes he kept in 1885 and 1986 of meetings and telephone conversations related to Iran-Contra.
