Gonzales may be first Hispanic attorney general
Marissa
WASHINGTON — President Bush nominated White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, who helped shape the administration's controversial legal strategy in the war on terror, to be attorney general yesterday. He would be the first Hispanic ever to serve as the nation's top law enforcement officer.
A Harvard educated attorney whose parents were migrant workers, the soft-spoken Gonzales would succeed Attorney General John Ashcroft, one of the most powerful and polarizing members of Bush's Cabinet.
Gonzales' selection came just a day after the resignations of Ashcroft and Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a close friend of Bush. With more changes expected, White House officials said Bush intends to try to have successors in place when resignations are announced.

Insurgents sought to open a second front, mounting attacks outside Fallujah and kidnapping three relatives of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
Militants also claimed to have abducted 2 Iraqi National Guard troops in Fallujah.

Ivory Coast evacuation follows civilian attacks
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — France, the United States and other nations launched one of the largest evacuations of Africa's post-independence era yesterday, requisitioning commercial jets to fly out thousands of foreigners following attacks on civilians and peace-keeping troops.
French soldiers in boats plucked some of their trapped citizens from the banks of Abidjan's lagoons.
rounded up foreigners from their homes for evacuation as Ivory Coast's state TV alternately appealed for calm and for a mass uprising against the French, the country's former colonial rulers.
Long convoyes sent out by the U.S. Embassy and other nations
More Americans are expected in Ghana on Thursday. Only a few hundred Americans remain in Ivory Coast, many of them missionaries and aid workers.
French President Jacques Chirac sternly demanded that President Laurent Gbagbo rein in thousands of his hard-line supporters, who brought him to power in 2000 and are now leading the anti-French street violence.
Violence erupted Saturday when Ivory Coast warplanes killed nine French peacekeepers and an American aid worker in an airstrike on the rebel-held north in three days of government air attacks that violated a more than year-old cease-fire in the country's civil war.
France wiped out the nation's new air force on the tarmac within hours.
The retaliation sparked violence by loyalist youths, who took to the streets waving machetes, iron bars and clubs.
Ivory Coast has been divided between rebel north and loyalist south since civil war broke out in 2002.
