MEXICO CITY Mexicans go to polls, hope for change from fraud-tainted history
Mexicans lined up to vote yesterday, wary about fraud but with high hopes of choosing a new president and lawmakers in clean elections. In the south, Mayan Indians trudged muddy roads all night to reach the polls.
Three candidates were leading in the race for the presidency. Ernesto Zedillo represented the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which has ruled Mexico for 65 years. He was strongly challenged by Diego Fernandez de Cevallos of the conservative National Action Party and Cuauhtemoc Cardenas of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party.
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina Bosnian refugees flee battle
Thousands of panicked residents fled their homes and flooded the roads of northwest Bosnia on Sunday after government troops captured the stronghold of a rebel Muslim leader.
United Nations officials cited unconfirmed reports that 20,000 people were on the run, and said the number was growing.
Many streamed northward into Serb-held areas of neighboring Croatia. By Sunday afternoon, thousands were trapped without shelter in no-man's land between Croatian troops and rebel Serb soldiers, with neither side wanting them.
Some of the refugees were wounded in the fighting in Velika Kladusa, headquarters of rebel Muslim leader Fikret Abdic, or by land mines, said Peter Kessler, a representative for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. They had a "desperate need for water," he said.
While fighting continued in and around Velika Kludas, U.N. officials said the town had apparently already fallen
to Bosnian army forces who have been fighting for months to defeat the Serb-backed Ab迪 rebel.
A ferry captain loaded hundreds of bags of rice on an already crowded boat shortly before it sank, survivors said yesterday. About 350 people were missing and feared dead in the disaster.
CHANDPUR, Bangladesh Bags of rice overturn ferry
The search for other victims was put off until today.
The search for other victims was put off until today. Abdul Khalque, 35, said the rice's weight caused the ship to overturn.
About 3,000 ferries operate across the many rivers in southern Bangladesh this time of year. One-third don't get authorized survey documents, and many carry cargo and passengers far above their legal capacity limits.
MIAMI Youth dies after legal battle
He endured two liver transplantes for the chance at life, but 15-year-old Benito Agrelo couldn't endure the sicknesses brought on by his anti-rejection medication.
Benito died at his Coral Springs home in his mother's arms early Saturday, two months after going to court for the right to stop taking the medication.
"Mami, hug." Benito said just before he died, opening his eyes and raising his arms to his mother. Armanda Agrelo.
The two embraced, Benito smiled and took his last breath,
said his sister, Ava Dressner.
"A few days ago, my Mom told him that he was going to see Jesus before she did, and that when he sees him to give him a big hug for her." Dressner said.
Benoito won the right to stop taking his medication in June, after the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services forcibly hospitalized him for three days — until a judge intervened.
Bentito said he couldn't stand the medicine's side-effects — fierce headaches and irritability — and wanted to die in peace.
HONOLULU Elephant goes on rampage
A rampaging circus elephant killed a trainer and injured another before it was shot down in the streets. It was the second elephant attack in a week at Circus International.
The 21-year-old African elephant named Tyk went berserk just before she was to perform with four other elephants in Saturday's matinee.
"All of a sudden, the elephant kicked the trainer into the arena," said Ann-Marie Pesa, who was in the audience.
Tyk picked up the apprentice trainer and threw him down, then tried to stomp his head. Another trainer was crushed by the animal as he tried to help the first man.
