Pope hears requests that women be given greater roles in church
VATICAN CITY — After a week of debate at the bishops' synod, Pope John Paul II is hearing repeated calls that women be given a greater role in running the Roman Catholic Church.
The pope heard the same demands during his trip to the United States last month, but now the appeals are coming from all over the world.
"No theme has been more frequently mentioned in this synod," said Archbishop John May of St Louis, president of the U.S. bishops' conference. "There is a clear consensus that the church must do everything in its power to put an end to unjust discrimination against women in its own structures and practices."
Nessie remains a legend as search ends
DRUMNADROCHT, Scotland — The biggest scientific search for the Loch Ness monster ended yesterday with one purported monster picture debunked, three sonar contacts showing something big in the murky waters and the elusive Nessie still a legend.
The hunt ended up focusing on three sonar blips that showed
objects in the middle of the 754-foot-deep loch. But video film taken by the search team meanwhile showed that the famed "gargoyle head" photo of Nessie taken in 1975 by the Academy of Applied Science really was a rotting tree stump about 20 feet below the surface.

"I sense victory," he said.

Iraq bombs supertanker
The Associated Press
MANAMA, Bahrain — Iraq resumed its aerial blitz of Iranian oil targets yesterday when it sent two Exocet missiles into the engine room of a Liberian-flagged supertanker, the 239,435-ton Rova, setting the ship ablaze. Two crewmen were reported killed and four others missing in the attack, according to gulf-based shipping sources.
Iran retaliated for the attack by sending a surface-to-surface missile into Baghdad, the Iraqi capital.
The raid was one of three announced by Iraq against tankers along the Iranian coast since Saturday morning.
Shipping sources identified another of the three targets as the Merlin, a 215.925-ton Cypriot-flag tank under charter to Iran. An Exocet missile crashed into the ship but did not explode. Shipping sources said that
The identity of the third ship was not known, the sources said.

Both Baghdad and Teheran reported that a long-range Iranian missile was fired into the Iraqi capital overnight but disfigured on where it hit Iran clerics the missile struck. The missile, which was said it landed in a residential area, killing numerous civilians. No figures were given.
The attack on Baghdad was the first since Monday, when two of the projectsiles, believed to be Soviet-era Scud-Bs, hit the city of 4 million.
In other developments, a convoy of four U.S. reflagged Kuwait tankers was moving north up the Persian Gulf under U.S. Navy escort, the 11th since the U.S. began the operation in mid-July.
A U.S. spokesman said the convoy had passed the Strait of Hormuz at the gulf's southern tip without incident, and other sources reported it was off the United Arab Emirates coast at midday.
The convery included the oil tankers Sea Isle City and Ocean City, 81,238 and 79,999 tons respectively, and the oil Princess, both 46,723 tons.
They were escorted by four U.S. missile frigates and the 8,600-ton amphibious landing dock ship Mount Vulcan is entering the gulf for the first time.
Another U.S. Navy ship, similar to the Mount Vernon, was sailing near the convoy. Although witnesses could not immediately identify it, a spokesman for the U.S. forces said it may have been the Raleigh, another landing ship.

The Associated Press
The girl was in critical but stable condition yesterday, and authorities considered whether to file charges against the lion's owner.
HOUSTON — A lion been walked through a flea market suddenly grabbed an 8-year-old girl and mailed her, then grabbed her head between its jaws, only letting go after not twice, police and witnesses said.
"It grabbed the little girl," said Brian Mason, a witness to Saturday's attack. "I could see the little girl in the room to grape her screen, her body sliding away on the floor."
The Lion's owner was holding the Lion's chain but could not control the Lion's chain.
"The lion knocked over an ornament and became excited," said Mason, 27. "He grabbed her and started dragging her across the floor. She was screaming, and everybody starting running around."
A security guard accompanying the lion and its owner shot the lion with a .44-caliber handgun, but that lion attacked, said police L.A. D.W. Crickswalt.
"That seemed to aggravate the lion, and it grabbed her by the head," he said. "Then shot the lion again, then released it, getting the它 to release the little girl."
