Parliament speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov, Vice President Alexander Rutskiol and other leaders of the twoweek occupation of the White House were taken from parliament to the high-security Lefortovi Prison.
Yeltsin, but they can be expected to closely watch how he treats his foes in the coming days and weeks.
Yeltsin forces hard-liners out of parliament
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Boris Yeltsin won a bloody victory in the battle for Russia's future yesterday with his tanks and paratroopers flushing his hardline opponents from a flaming Russian parliament building. Scores died as Yeltsin crushed the strongest power bid yet by remnants of the old Communist regime.
Sniper fire was reported in a wide area of Moscow early Tuesday. ITAR-Tass news agency reported that its offices came under heavy fire, but that there were no injuries.
The mass surrender of lawmakers and their armed supporters seemed likely to allow Yeltsin to move ahead with plans to elect a new parliament in December and pursue long-frustrated economic reforms. But he still faced daunting challenges in his effort to transform Russia's economy
Parliament leaders gave up after 1,000 soldiers raked the white marble parliament relentlessly with fire from T-72 tank cannons and heavy machine guns, but at least some holdouts remained at large.
Early Tuesday Moscow time, firefighters tried to douse the flames, braving sniper fire from within the White House and nearby buildings.
The search for holdouts was difficult because the 19-story parliament building is an often-confusing labyrinth of twisting corridors and hidden rooms.
The storming of the White House broke hard-line opposition in parliament, but many people harbor deep resentment against the soaring prices and other painful changes under Yeltsin's reforms. The attack also could make martyrs of his opponents.
After nightfall, red and green tracer bullets streaked across the sky as flames shot up the sides of the parliament, known as the White House. Armored vehicles and heavy trucks rumbled through the city, and Muscovites rushed home to beat a new
military curfew.
President Clinton and other Western leaders were quick to support
Escalating their defiance of Yeltsin's dissolution of parliament on Sept. 21, armed hard-liners captured the Moscow mayor's offices and tried to take Russia's main television center Sunday. Parliament leaders urged supporters to topple Yeltsin, whose reforms had been continually undermined by the Communist-dominated legislature.
Aspin won't fire Kelso despite ties to Tailhook
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Les Aspin, acting against the advice of the Navy's civilian leader, decided yesterday not to fire the service's No.1 officer, Adm. Frank B. Kelso II, for his association with the Tailhook sex scandal, a senior Pentagon official said.
"Kelso stays," said the official, who spoke on condition that he not be identified.
Navy Secretary John Dalton had recommended to Aspin that Kelso be dismissed for failing to use proper leadership in the aftermath of a scandal that arose from the 1991 Tailhook convention. At the Las Vegas meeting, drunken naval aviators assaulted scores of women in a hotel hallway.
Aspin took three days to consider Dalton's advice, then rejected it. The decision, first reported Friday by ABC News, is an extraordinary move considering that Dalton is President Clinton's appointee and that this was his first major decision since taking the post in August.
Clinton.
Kelso is not accused of participating in the mayhem.
Dalton also recommended various levels of disciplinary action against about a dozen other admirals and Marine Corps generals in connection with the 1991 incident
Aides to Aspin said he had considered issuing a reprimand or some milder form of disciplinary action against Kelso and still keep him in the job.
Of the 35 admirals and Marine generals who attended the convention and were interviewed by Defense Department investigators, 27 acknowledged visiting the third floor of the Las Vegas hotel, where the reported sexual assaults occurred.
Kelso is a 38-year Navy veteran and is scheduled to retire in July. He has been the Navy's most senior uniformed officer since 1990.
Aspin had said Sunday he would decide Kelso's fate in a day or two, but aides said that crises in Somalia and Russia had kept Aspin preoccupied. They said he had consulted with White House officials about Kelso but had not spoken directly with
Kelso, who spoke at the Tailhook convention, has said he knew nothing of the offending activity. He has not been accused of participating in or condoning the activity, and he is credited with initiating mandatory sensitivity training for officers and sailors and promising to correct the attitudes that led to Tailhook.
JERUSALEM
Palestinian rams bus with car, kills self, injures 30
A Palestinian suicide car-bomber injured 30 Israelis when he rammed into a bus yesterday. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said Israel will act against such attempts to disrupt the peace process
"It is always an expression of religious fanaticism and political extremism joined together," Rabin said, noting that car bombing appeared to be a new tactic. Four such attacks have occurred in the last few months.
The bus was attacked as it was letting soldiers out in front of the main West Bank military headquarters. The incident followed Israel's weekend crackdown on armed opponents of the Sept. 13 Israel-PLO accord. Rabin said the army would continue to target Muslim extremist groups, including Hamas and Islamic Holy War and other organizations that resort to violence.
"Their activity and the focus of their politics is directed at making the agreement with the Palestinians fail and to disrupt chances of implementing it." Rabin told reporters.
The army would not confirm the name of the attacker killed when the car exploded near Beit El, a settlement of about 6,000 Jews north of Jerusalem.
Seven of those injured at Beit El are hospitalized with slight to moderate injuries
No group claimed responsibility, but Hamas has said it had carried out three similar attacks.
The car carried at least 20 grenades and a bomb made of gasoline canisters with nails inside, the deputy commander of West Bank forces, Col. Merom, said on Israel radio.
Abdul-Aziz Rantisi, a Hamas leader deported by Israel to Lebanon last year, praised Monday's attack as a "message written in blood that expresses the true and honest feelings of the Palestinian toward the Israeli-PLO accord."
THE NEWS in brief
NEW YORK Trade Center trial begins
Four men were waging "war of terrorism" when they bombed the World Trade Center, a federal prosecutor said yesterday at the opening of their trial.
The Feb. 26 bombing, assistant U.S. Attorney Gilmore Childers contended, was the "single most destructive act of terrorism ever committed here in the United States." It killed six people and injured more than 1,000.
Mohammad Salameh, 26; Ahmad Ajaj, 27; Mahmud Abouhalima, 34; and Nidal Ayyad, 25, are "the men responsible for this act of terrorism." Childers said as he walked slowly past the defense table, pointing at each.
He cautioned jurors that there would be no witnesses testifying that they saw any of the defendants making the bomb or driving it into the center's underground parking lot.
Robert Precht, a defense lawyer for Salameh, said outside the courtroom that it was a "stunning admission" that there were no eyewitnesses to those key events.

Priest pleads guilty to charges
A former Roman Catholic priest accused of molesting dozens of children three decades ago pleaded guilty to sexual assault yesterday as his victims watched in a crowded courtroom.
James A. Porter, 58, who left the priesthood in the 1970s, pleaded guilty to 41 counts in Bristol County Superior Court, where his trial had been scheduled to begin later this month.
Sentencing was set for Dec. 6, and Porter did not make any statement to the court aside from his pleas.
Porter had been charged with abusing 32 children who are now adults and who only began publicly telling their stories less than two years ago when one of the victims began building a case against him.
Prosecutors said Porter molested his victims on church property and threatened them by telling them "God would get them."
SUITLAND, Md. Number of U.S. poor rising
The number of poor Americans grew by 1.2 million in 1992, the government said yesterday in a report that paints a portrait of an underclass that is disproportionately young and without health insurance.
Analysts blamed stubborn unemployment and declining social services in the aftermath of the recession.
The Census Bureau said there were 36.9 million poor Americans last year, accounting for 14.5 percent of the population. That was up three-tenths of a point from 1991 and the highest poverty rate since 15.2 percent in 1983.
The 1992 poverty, line for a family of four was $14,335. For someone living alone, it was $7,143.
The government also said that 37.4 million Americans, or 14.7 percent of the population, lacked health insurance in 1992, an increase of 2 million.
