PORT-OF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD
PORT-OF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD Police in Trinidad and Tobago are investigating a 14-year-old girl for making threatening comments about the Caribbean country's prime minister in an Internet video.
Police Commissioner Dwayne Gibbs says the girl's remarks on YouTube are being looked into.
girl's remarks on you tube are being looked into. In the video, the girl makes racial slurs against Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar (KAM-la per-SAD BIH-sess-ur). And she says a sniper should "leave no evidence" in shooting the leader during the government's offensive to dismantle gangs.
Gibbs' announcement Tuesday comes a day after the prime minister said the girl should not be punished, but should be talked to and helped.
Attorney General Anand Ramlogan says he supports the prime minister's decision to forgive the girl.
LA PAZ, BOLIVIA
Bolivia's highest court on Tuesday convicted five former top military commanders of genocide for an army crackdown on riots in October 2003 that killed at least 64 civilians. It gave them prison sentences ranging from 10 to 15 years. In a unanimous decision, the six judges of the Supreme Tribunal also convicted two former Cabinet ministers of complexity in the killings and sentenced each to three years. Indicted in the case but not tried was Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, Bolivia's president at the time of the killings. He was forced into exile by the widespread popular anger they provoked. Carlos Sanchez Berzain, the then-defense minister, also was indicted but not tried. Bolivian law prohibits trials in absentee and both men live in the United States. A lawyer for Sanchez de Lozada issued a statement calling Bolivia's justice system highly politicized and saying that "no objec-

A Norwegian and 10 Nigerians were among the United Nations staffers killed in a suicide car-bomb attack claimed by a radical Muslim group at the world body's headquarters in Nigeria's capital last week, the U.N. said Tuesday. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon later Tuesday identified the Norwegian staffer as a young woman named Irgid Midtgaard from Oslo.

BEIJING, CHINA
Their faces black with coal dust, 19 miners trapped for a week underground were pulled to safety Tuesday in northeastern China as rescuers searched for three missing colleagues. The provincial governor greeted each of the 19 and assured them the rescue work was continuing. "We are doing everything we can to save your colleagues," Wang Xiankain said in footage shown on state broadcaster CCTV. Twenty-six miners had been trapped in galleries relatively near the surface when water poured into a shaft on Aug. 23 from an adjacent, flooded mine. Three had been pulled out alive Saturday and one body was recovered. The survivors, who were hospitalized in stable condition, were able to keep their helmet lamps operating for the 165 hours they were trapped. They sustained themselves with water that dripped from the ceiling and later nutrition packs sent through a 920-foot (280-meter) pipe drilled through the rock, which also provided fresh air.
OBITUARY
Kansas remembers retired professor
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Graveside service for Hillel Unz, a retired University profes-
801, was held at Bnal Israel cemetery in Eudora on Sunday, Hill Unz, 82, was a professor of electricalengineering for 40 years until his retirement in 1997. He passed away on Saturday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Unz
His son, Danny Unz, said his father was known at the University as a man with a sense of humor and an informal approach in the classroom. He held at least two patents through his work and he spent time researching Astrophysics after retiring.
Hillel Unz was born to Moshe and Rivka Unz on Aug. 15, 1929, in Darmstadt, Germany. His father was originally from
the city of Haifa, Israel and the family returned there in 1932. Hillel Unz served in the Israeli Defense Forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and received his bachelor's degree from the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa in 1953. He moved to the United States later that year and received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. He moved to Lawrence and began working at the School of Engineering in 1957. Hillel Unz is survived by daughter Tali Unz, son Danny Unz, and daughter-in-law Ariela Unz and grandchildren Alon, Amir and Eval.
Hillel Unz was preceded in death by his daughter Maya. Survivors include his daughter Tali Unz, son Danny Unz, daughter in-law Ariela and grandchildren Alon, Amir and Eyal.
"He was a very curious person," Danny Unz said. "I always remember him with a book in his hand."
Kansas Athletics will be supporting KU Libraries for a second year in a row through the Touchdown Challenge, the University announced Tuesday.
FUNDRAISING
Edited by Stefanie Penn
Touchdowns could score library funds
The Touchdown Challenge serves as a fundraiser for the libraries. Individuals who participate in the challenge pledge to pay a certain amount of money for every touchdown the University scores during the football season.
"As every one of our football players know, education is the number one priority," coach Turner Gill said in a news release. "It is up to each student to stay on top of his grades. The critical support the library provides — not only to KU student-athletes, but to the student body as a whole — makes that possible."
Those interested in making a pledge can visit lib.ku.edu/touchdown.

Irene leaves major flooding as wedding guests rescued
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
At least a dozen wedding guests were airlifted by helicopter from a Vermont town of Pittsfield on Tuesday where they had been stranded since Tropical Storm Irene hit two days earlier, turning rivers into roiling flood waters that washed away the only road leading out of town.
Marc Leibowitz and his fiancee, Janina Stegmeyer, were in Germany, snowed in last Christmas when they got engaged and picked the Vermont inn for their rustic farm wedding. Now they were stranded again, with about 60 of their wedding guests.
"Basically we had an unbelievable wedding. She told me on Saturday night it was the most perfect dream wedding she could have imagined," said Leibowitz, 31, an artist from Brooklyn, N.Y. "And then on Sunday morning ... the weather changed."
The couple rushed to finish brunch with some of their bridesmaids, despite the owners' warning that the road was giving way and that they should move up the mountain. Their four-wheel drive rental car was able to make it over the bridge to the Amee Farm.
"After we passed, the bridge collapsed," Leibowitz said.
To pass the time, the couple and
their wedding guests have pitched in around town, shoveling mud from homes, getting supplies to elderly residents living in the hills, and working at the Original General Store, which has become the central gathering place in town.
By Tuesday, guests were picking vegetables from the farm to prepare for dinner. Townspeople, who didn't have electricity or phone services, were encouraged to bring perishable food to the general store, where it could be stored in a generator-powered refrigerator.
"A couple of people have been freaked out and others have been really scared," Leibowitz said. "But we're trying to keep people calm."
It's NOT too late... We still have great places left!
