Emotions flow at Haitian funerals
The Associated Press
PORT-AU PRINCE, Haiti — His days in power slipping away, Haiti's military leader lept yesterday at a funeral service for 10 of his men killed in a shootout with U.S. Marines.
As Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras sat at the service, staring at the caskets draped with the red-and-blue Haitian flag, Haitians speculated on his imminent departure, the departure of fellow coup leader Philippe Biamby and the military-installed government of Emile Jouassaint.
Bruce Sussman:
Cedras has vowed to remain in Haiti but under terms worked out with former President Carter. Cedras and Biamby will resign after elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide returns to power next week.

Haitians, meanwhile, helped U.S.
the presidency seven months after Haiti's first freely democratic election.
At the funeral Cedras had to face his fellow soldiers, many of them suspicious that he would sell them out. He was in an audience of 300, where some of the soldiers' relatives were so overwhelmed by grief that they had to be physically removed.
Col. Carl Dorelien, chief of army personnel, called for reconciliation and forgiveness to those who gathered for the funeral in the courtyard of the capital's military hospital.
The simple gray caskets were lined next to the stage where two Roman Catholic priests officiated. Each coffin was covered with the Haitian flag and bearing a black-and-white photograph of the person inside.
"Ive lost the father of my five children!" a small unidentified woman in a black veiled hat wailed over and over again.
Several relatives, including a young man who kept screaming "Woe is me!" had to be carried away on the shoulders of some of the other mourners when they disrupted the service. The prayers of the priests were inaudible above the cries.
were killed in the northern town of Cap-Haitien a week ago Saturday during a fire fight with U.S. Marines outside a police station. The battle produced the first casualties since U.S. forces came to Haiti.
Quake relief hampered by bad weather
The Associated Press
LVADIVOSTOK, Russia — Bad weather hindered relief efforts yesterday on the Kuril Islands following a massive earthquake that devastated the remote Pacific chain and sent residents fleeing to higher ground.
The undersea quake late Tuesday had a magnitude of 8.2, the strongest in the world this year. It killed at least 10 people, destroyed buildings and produced 9-foot-high waves that swamped coastal areas.
Many islanders fled to higher ground, fearing the dozens of aftershocks which rattled the region yesterday would set off deadly tidal waves. Seismologists said the aftershocks, measuring up to magnitude 6, would continue for days.
"They are in the hills with no food, no water or personal belongings," said Yeyengy Kulkov, a reporter on Sakhalin Island who spoke on Viadvioskot radio. "Helicopters have been unable to reach those in the hills because of bad weather."
Rescue crews from Moscow, Siberia and the Far East flew to the islands north of Japan yesterday to begin evacuating the injured and restore emergency services knocked out by the earthquake.
The quake was centered about 100 miles east of Japan's northern coast, near the Kurils. Most of the damage was borne by the southern Kurils, where about 50,000 Russians, including several thousand soldiers, live.
Mexican conspiracy unfolds
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — A fugitive congressman accused of masterminding the murder of a top politician asked yesterday for a leave of absence from his post and fingered a former government official in the crime.
The leave, requested in writing, would permit Manuel Munoz Rocha to face charges of involvement in the murder of Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu without formally being stripped of his congressional immunity.
In his petition, Munoz Rocha said he had proof that the assassination planner was Abraham Rubio Canales, who was imprisoned in 1992 on fraud charges while Ruiz Massieu was governor of Guerrero state.
Rubio Canales, a former campaign manager for Ruiz Massieu, headed a federal agency in Acapulco and handled land sales at the time of his conviction.
Reporters saw armed policemen enter the national headquarters of the
ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party,yesterday.
Kuiz Massieu was the second-ranking PRI official and the incoming congressional majority leader.
A rising star in Mexican politics and close ally of President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, he was shot Sept. 28 after leaving a breakfast party.
Daniel Aguilar Trevino, an illiterate farmhand, reportedly told police he was paid $15,000 in pesos to pull the trigger. He was arrested on the scene.
The assassination shocked Mexico, coming on the heels of a tumultuous election campaign, the March 23 murder of ruling party presidential candidate Luis Dalonio Colosio and an Indian uprising in southern Chiapas state.
The investigation suggests that police believe internal party politics and personal vengeance were behind the assassination, although links with drug trafficking have not been ruled out.
Munoz Rocha is the highest-ranking person to be accused officially.
Couple kills four in Paris rampage
The Associated Press
PARIS — In one of the bloodiest episodes in recent Paris history, a young couple tear-gassed two policemen, stole the officers' guns and set off a wild car chase, killing three officers and a taxi driver before they were captured.
The slayings late Tuesday stunned a nation where only two other police officers had been killed in action all year and prompted calls for restoration of the death penalty.
Authorities could not remember any other time when so many Paris police officers had been killed. Three officers and two civilian passers-by were also injured.
The male suspect, Audry Maupin,
22, was wounded in the chest in
the climactic shootout. He was in critical
condition yesterday.
The woman, a 19- or 20-year-old from the work-class Paris suburb of Argenteuil, refused to talk to investigators. She was identified as Florence Ray and had been living as a squatter in an abandoned building with Maupin.
Investigators searching the young woman's family home found documents with anarchist slogans and the name of a previously unknown group, "The Organization of Revolutionary Propaganda." The words "Death to the cops" were written on several documents.
