Fire in Azerbaijan kills 300
The Associated Press
BAKU, Azerbaijan — Rescue workers recovered about 300 bodies yesterday from the wreckage of a subway that caught fire in the capital, trapping hundreds of terrified passengers. At least 200 others were injured.
Azerbaijan declared two days of mourning for the dead. Officials blamed the tragedy, the world's worst subway accident, on the system's outdated Soviet equipment.
Unable to escape from the packee cars, most of the people who died were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning from toxic materials burning in the train carriages, officials said.
"As soon as the train entered the tunnel, I saw a flash," said passenger Tabil Guseinov, 45. "Then, the flames enveloped the train car. There was a sound of breaking glass, and the lights went out.
"People started breaking windows to get out. We were starting to suffocate," he said.
The fire broke out Saturday afternoon between two subway stations in central Baku because of a malfunction in the train's electrical sysem, officials said.
"As soon as the train entered the tunnel, I saw a flash."

Survivors described sparks flying from high-voltage cables just after the train left the busy Uludz station.
Rescuers battled the blaze until early yesterday, then pulled the injured and the dead, wrapped in rugs and blankets, from the tunnel. Police and security forces sealed off the area, barring journalists.
Authorities initially said only two people had died in the fire, but the death toll climbed steadily overnight as more bodies were found.
Interior Minister Ramil Usubov
told The Associated Press yesterday morning that at least 289 people had died, including 28 children. Morgue officials said they counted at least 303 bodies, and the independent Azerbalajani news agency Turan quoted medical officials as putting the death toll at 337.
Azerbaijan's health minister, Ali Isenov, said 269 people were injured. Of the injured, 62 remained hospitalized yesterday, most of them in serious condition.
"The main reason was carbon monoxide poisoning, which paralyzes the respiratory system and causes emphysema and instant death," Insanov said.
It was not known how many people were on the train, officials said
In Moscow, where the subway carries 1 million people a day, officials attributed the high death toll to panic among the passengers and, possibly, mistakes by the train driver.
Valentin Ageyev of Moscow's fire department said the train operator probably should have driven the train slowly to the next station rather than stopping it in the tunnel
Maryland gun shop linked to killing
Store was supplier of 100 crime weapons
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A weapon recovered near a sniper's ambush at Fort Bragg, N.C., had been bought at a Maryland shop that officials say has provided guns connected with numerous crimes, a government source said yesterday.
A 9 mm Glock pistol found at the scene of the shootings on Friday had been purchased from the Freestate Arms and Munitions gun shop in 1990 in Temple Hills, Md., the source said.
Army Sgt. William J. Kreutzer, 26, of Clinton, Md., is listed as the purchaser of the gun, the source said.
Kreutzer is the suspect in the shootings that killed one and injured 18 at the Army base.
The owner of the gun shop was arrested on Sept. 27 after an investigation by Maryland state police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on charges of having an expired firearms license and selling weapons without having conducted the required background checks.
"Gun traces conducted by ATF agents have found that in the past 18 months, the last recorded point of sale for more than 100 weapons recovered in crimes was the Freesteare Arms and Munitions store," said a news release issued Sept. 27 by Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening.
"The crimes include 10 homicides
and three assaults, including an assault on a police officer," it said.
The ATF's special agent in charge, Margaret M. Moore, said that this was a significant case because Freestate Arms was responsible for supplying firearms to criminals. These weapons have been documented through ATF's tracing program to have been recovered in violent crimes in Washington, D.C., and adjacent Prince George's County.
State troopers who served a search warrant at the gun store on Sept. 27 said they recovered more than 100 weapons.
"On one occasion during the investigation, an undercover trooper purchased an Uzi assault pistol over the counter," according to the news release.
