Sept. 11 Trial At Guantanamo May Face New Delay

By Ben Fox SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Lawyers for at least two Guantanamo Bay prisoners accused of planning the Sept. 11 attack asked the Pentagon on Thursday to extend a deadline for pretrial motions, which could again delay a case that has been stalled by political and legal disputes for years. The attorneys for Ramzi Binalshibh and Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi sent letters requesting the extension to the Pentagon legal official who oversees the war crimes tribunals at the U.S. base in Cuba but did not receive an immediate response. Navy Cmdr. Walter Ruiz, the lawyer appointed to represent al-Hawsawi, said it was likely that extensions also will be sought by attorneys for other prisoners accused in the attack. The U.S. has charged five prisoners in all, including the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Pentagon spokesman David Oten said the requests for extensions were under consideration. The lawyers are seeking more time to prepare legal motions addressing whether the five prisoners should face the death penalty for charges that include murder. The Pentagon's Convening Authority is to consider those motions before finalizing the charges and arraigning the men before a tribunal known as a military commission. Once charges are finalized, or "referred to commission" in the language of the Pentagon, the military has 30 days to arraign the prisoners at the base. In the war crimes case against a Guantanamo prisoner accused of orchestrating the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, the Convening Authority, Bruce MacDonald, took about two months to review the defense team's argument against the death penalty before referring it to a commission as a capital case. It was expected to take at least that long in the Sept. 11 case, but observers had expected the arraignment to happen as early as spring at Guantanamo. The case has long been plagued by delays. Their first arraignment was held in June 2008 and the case began moving forward slowly when it was halted by President Barack Obama, who wanted to close the Guantanamo prison and try the men in civilian court. That effort was rebuffed by Congress, and the administration moved the case back to the military's war crimes tribunal at Guantanamo. Ruiz is seeking an extension of four months to submit his motion, arguing that new restrictions on legal mail that can be sent to prisoners at Guantanamo, and his pending challenge to those rules in federal court, have interfered with his ability to finish a submission that is due Monday. A lawyer for Binalshibh wants a six-month extension because of the mail restrictions and because of delays getting security clearances for members of the legal team. Copies of both letters were obtained by The Associated Press. The dispute over legal mail at the prison has been going on for months. The commander of the detention center, Navy Rear Adm. David Woods, issued a directive in December that requires legal mail to undergo a security review to ensure prisoners are not receiving prohibited materials, such as top-secret information or objects that might be fashioned into weapons. Defense lawyers say they cannot abide by the rule without violating military and civilian codes of professional ethics that bar them from disclosing any information about their clients to a third party unless specifically ordered to do so by a court. 3
The chief defense counsel for the military commissions issued guidelines to the dozens of attorneys who work in the commissions that they should not follow the order and Ruiz says his efforts to work with his clients and prepare motions has been thwarted. "Mr. Hawsawi is being deprived of his right to counsel at a critical stage of the proceedings," Ruiz wrote to the Convening Authority. (Return) 2. Miami Herald Friday, February 3, 2012
Defenders Seek 9/11 Trial Delay, Blame Guantnamo Legal Mail Dispute
By Carol Rosenberg Lawyers for the 9/11 plot suspects on Thursday sought to delay until this summer filing memos on why the terror tribunal should not go forward as a capital case. If a senior Pentagon official agrees, the soonest the alleged mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his accused four co-conspirators would get initial appearances at Guantnamo's Camp Justice would be around the next Sept. 11 anniversary. At issue is an ethical dispute over how the Guantnamo prison commander is reviewing confidential communications between Pentagon lawyers and their captive clients. Defense lawyers stopped sending so-called privileged mail to their clients late last year after the Chief Defense Counsel, Marine Col. Jeffrey Colwell, declared the policy of reviewing mail unethical. Colwell said Thursday that all five 9/11 defense teams were seeking the delay because the controversial camp mail policy "complicated the attorneys' ability to prepare." Prosecutors are now working with the camps commander, Rear Adm. David B. Woods, to devise a new mail system that's blessed by the chief war court judge. No solution is expected before April. The attorney for Ramzi bin al Shibh, a Yemeni accused of orchestrating part of the mass murder from Hamburg, Germany, asked for a delay until August. Another lawyer asked for a four-month delay on behalf of Mustafa al Hawsawi, who is accused of helping to move some of the money that financed the Sept. 11 hijackers' travels. A Pentagon spokesman, David Oten, said the request for an extension was under consideration. The Obama administration cleared the way for a 9/11 tribunal in April. Prosecutors swore out deathpenalty charges May 31. Since then, the Pentagon has been assembling defense teams. . The teams are supposed to write a senior Pentagon official overseeing the war court, retired Vice Adm. Bruce MacDonald, by Monday on why the case shouldn't go forward. A Navy war-crimes prosecutor defended the new mail policy at a hearing last month by disclosing that a copy of al Qaida's now defunct Inspire magazine had reached the detention center. Prison-camp commanders won't discuss when or how the alleged security breach happened in the Pentagon's showcase prison, which has a staff of 1,875 U.S. forces and civilians and 171 detainees.

Plans to turn over Taliban Gitmo detainees in works, Rep. Rogers says
By Catherine Herridge WASHINGTON The Obama administration has taken "operational" steps to move five Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay as part of a confidence-building measure to further peace talks with the Afghan Taliban, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said at a hearing Thursday on national security threats. The five detainees were said to be "hand-picked" by the Taliban preparing for the talks. "There have been operational things that have been conducted up to this point, so this isn't an aspirational policy change," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Thursday. "This is something that is well underway and has been, at least a suggestion, has been passed along to the very people that we would like to negotiate with." 4
The Taliban transfer issue was a significant focus of the hearing on worldwide threats. Rogers said ahead of the hearing that the administrations efforts to talk with the Afghan Taliban smack of desperation. Candidly, I dont like the direction they are going in (with) reconciliation, Rogers said. I base it on the things that I know about how the Taliban works. The tribal relations in the region, and Ive been on the committee for six years looking at this stuff ... it seems like a bit of desperation to try to catch up to their policy of were getting out. As for the administrations prisoner transfer plan, a senior congressional official who spoke to Fox News on the condition of anonymity confirmed money had been spent to send the men, as part of the current strategy, to a third country. The official added that the administration tried to tamp down concern by saying they would not swap all five Taliban leaders at once; rather, three now and the others later. They (the administration) have taken operational steps to make it happen," the source said. The White House denied that any resources had been committed to such a transfer. "We haven't committed any resources," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said. "We've engaged in diplomatic efforts alone, and we've consulted with Congress and will continue to do so. In absolutely any case, our efforts will be consistent with U.S. law." On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Panetta said the U.S. could end its formal combat role in Afghanistan 18 months from now. Rogers told Fox News that the Obama administration has put the cart before the horse in an effort to meet its political objectives. Prisoner swaps are usually dealt with after the peace terms are settled. Given the U.S. wants to be out of Afghanistan altogether by the end of 2014, the Taliban is in no hurry to negotiate. They understand that the longer they wait, the weaker the U.S. bargaining position gets over time, Rogers said. The Taliban "are notoriously good at this," Rogers said. "When I say good at it, I mean using any type of negotiation process to re-establish themselves in a better place when it's done." In a series of classified meetings since the end of last year as well as in a series of letters sent by Reps. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, and Steve King, R-Iowa, the administration was told there was strong bipartisan opposition to the transfer of the Taliban Five from Guantanamo Bay as part of confidence-building measures to engage the Afghan Taliban in peace talks, Rogers said. Referring to a Senate intelligence hearing Tuesday with senior officials from the administration, Rogers said the contentious debate was now out in the open. "They said it on the record, yes, that is part of the talks. This is a really bad idea. And we have told them that. And it has been bipartisan. There is no way they could walk out of any of those meetings thinking they had some support coming out of the U.S. Congress." As part of the Senate hearing, the head of the national counter-terrorism center, Matt Olsen, confirmed that 48 detainees were deemed too dangerous to release during the administration's 2009 review of the Guantanamo Detention camps. The five Taliban detainees are among them. "The Taliban asked for them specifically, the senior congressional official said. These are serious players in their organization. We believe they all have U.S. blood on their hands. And the IC (intelligence community) has determined that all five were too dangerous to be released. The IC did not make that determination based on this exchange. They based it on -- don't give them back ever! " On Tuesday, the Ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Saxby Chambliss, asked the administrations top intelligence adviser if he was comfortable with transferring these individuals out of Guantanamo?" Director of National Intelligence James Clapper seemed to inadvertently divulge details of the administrations strategy by stating the men may be sent to a third country as part of the deal. For me, the key would be where they would go, the intermediate country that they -- where they might be detained, and the degree to which they would be watched. And that would be the key determinate for me," Clapper said in the Senate hearing. Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge's bestselling book "The Next Wave: On the Hunt for Al Qaeda's American Recruits," published by Crown, draws on her reporting for Fox News into Al Qaeda 2.0 and it investigates the Obama administrations controversial handing of the Guantanamo Bay detention camps and the stalled prosecution of the 9/11 case.

Louisiana partners with Haiti, brings aid

Island nation still hurting after quake
By Joshua Bergeron As University students flee on study abroad programs and mission trips, some could be spending a few weeks in Haiti as part of a Louisiana National Guard partnership with the country, which is still ailing following a catastrophic earthquake in 2010. The National Guard first announced the partnership with Haiti on Jan. 18 as a part of the State Partnership Program. Between LSU and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 30 students are currently contracted with the Louisiana National Guard. University students enrolled in the National Guard may become involved in ongoing and future projects as a part of their two- to three-week annual training block. The annual training usually occurs during summer breaks, so training should not interfere with schoolwork for the 30 students currently contracted, according to Staff Sgt. Denis Ricou with Louisiana National Guard Public Affairs. Retired Lt. Col. Reginald Brown also said the effect on ROTC students contracted with the National Guard will be minimal because of the Simultaneous Membership Program, which exempts students from deploying to a foreign country as long as they are full-time students working toward a degree and commission. Ricou believes the program will go a long way toward replenishing Haiti's severely damaged infrastructure. "The partnership will work to strengthen the capacity of the Haitian government," Ricou said. "[It will] strengthen the capacity of the Haitian National Police and support the activities of the Haitian Coast Guard." Although the damage is out of the public eye, the aid provided by the National Guard is still important. The country is still badly damaged, but Haitians are confident the outpouring of humanitarian work will go a long way to restore a sense of normalcy in the country, according to a Haitian embassy spokesman based in Washington, D.C. Louisiana Guardsmen have already made an impact in their past endeavors. Besides simply constructing buildings and training Haitian law enforcement, guardsmen have been involved in several humanitarian efforts. One such operation involved medical, dental and veterinary practitioners treating and evaluating 32,423 patients and 2,127 animals during a 40-day operation in the Artibonite Region, according to a National Guard news release. "It consists of 66 partnerships between 46 states and territories and 65 nations throughout the world," the release said. The Louisiana National Guard has been involved in rebuilding Haiti since the magnitude 7 earthquake struck on Jan. 12, 2010 in Port-au-Prince. (Return)

Lawmakers Say Mayport Move Not Fiscally Prudent

By Bill Bartel NORFOLK--Now that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has proposed a new defense strategy that involves reducing military spending, Hampton Roads' four congressmen want him to abandon plans to move a Norfolk-based aircraft carrier to Mayport, Fla. In a letter to Panetta on Wednesday, the lawmakers said the secretary's recent announcement that he wants to retire several Navy ships and delay delivery of others in part because of budget concerns should also lead him to question the need for the Mayport relocation. The Navy wants to move the carrier in 2019. "Given the breadth of defense budget reductions now being applied across the department, and specifically to the U.S. Navy, we remain convinced that allocating an estimated $500 million to $1 billion 6
to this project would not be in the strategic interests of the Department of the Navy or in the fiscal interests of the nation," they wrote. The letter is signed by U.S. Reps. Randy Forbes, R-Chesapeake; Scott Rigell, R-Virginia Beach; Bobby Scott, D-Newport News; and Rob Wittman, R-Westmoreland County. They also reminded Panetta that Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert promised the region's congressional delegation in November that the Navy would re-examine the Mayport move as a part of an overall review of defense strategy and budgeting. Hampton Roads leaders worry about the economic downside of the relocation. Losing a carrier would cost the region 6,000 jobs and $425 million in annual revenue, according to estimates by economists. Members of Congress from Florida have been pushing hard for the carrier move, arguing that two East Coast bases are needed but also acknowledging the economic benefit to their state. "Leaders at the highest levels of the Pentagon have stated from day one that they stand behind the strategic imperative of two nuclear-capable homeports on the East Coast - one in Norfolk, one in Mayport," U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, a Republican whose district includes the Florida naval port, said Thursday in a statement responding to the Virginia delegation's letter. (Return)

6 Dead, 20 Wounded In New Attack On Colombia Cops

By Carlos Julio Martinez VILLA RICA, Colombia -- Assailants in pickup trucks fired homemade mortars at a police station in this western town Thursday, killing at least six people and wounding more than 20, the regional police chief said. The Cauca state police chief, Col. Ricardo Alarcon, said it was too early to assign blame. But President Juan Manuel Santos and his defense minister both said they had no doubt the authors were the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the country's main insurgency. The 1 p.m. attack in this town of 15,000 people about 15 miles (25 kilometers) southeast of Cali, the country's third-largest city, came a day after a bomb planted in a tricycle killed nine people and wounded 76 outside a police station in the Pacific port of Tumaco as lunch hour was ending. FARC rebels are active in both areas and their arsenals include homemade mortars. Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon blamed Wednesday's attack on the insurgents in league with a drug-trafficking gang. "What is the FARC looking for?" Santos said as he toured Tumaco on Thursday. "Why do they speak in the language of peace but on the other hand commit acts of terrorism like this?" The peasant-based FARC, which has been fighting a succession of governments since 1964 demanding a more equitable distribution of wealth, is seeking to open a peace dialogue with Santos. But Santos insists the rebels must first halt hostilities and release 12 security force members who the insurgents have held captive for more than a decade. The dead in Thursday's attack included the Villa Rica police post's commander and five civilians, Alarcon said. He said 35 officers were in the police station when at least three mortars were fired at it from a moving pickup truck about 150 feet (50 meters) away. Among the dead were 3-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman, state health chief Oscar Ospina said. He said the wounded had to be evacuated from Villa Rica because its hospital is next to the police station and was damaged in the attack. This week's attacks were the most serious affecting civilians since a car bomb killed six people and wounded more than 30 in March 2010 in the Pacific port of Buenaventura. Like Tumaco, Buenaventura has long been a hub for cocaine smugglers, who include leftist rebels and far-right militias.
The region where Thursday's attack occurred is a key corridor for cocaine-smuggling to the Pacific coast. Its craggy mountains and steep valleys were also where FARC's commander, Alfonso Cano, roamed before he was killed by government troops in November. The FARC numbers about 9,000 combatants. Although it has suffered major setbacks in recent years, analysts say its hit-and-run attacks have been rising. In January alone, it staged 133 attacks on police and military targets, according to the independent think tank Nuevo Arco Iris. The main FARC analyst for Nuevo Arco Iris, Ariel Avila, said the rebels are seeking "to show themselves stronger in order to put on pressure for a peace dialogue." Another security analyst, Alfredo Rangel, said last month saw the most FARC attacks in a single month since January 2004, when there were 45. (Return)

Cuban Women On A Protest March Say Police Harassed And Detained Them
By Juan O. Tamayo Cuban dissidents say police beat, groped and detained seven women who tried to stage a march in the central city of Santa Clara to demand the release of an opposition couple jailed since early January. In an audio recording provided by the dissidents, women were heard screaming and repeatedly shouting "Don't stick your hands on my breasts, murderer" - allegedly as police searched for the cellphones recording the scene. "He put his hands inside my blouse, then they lifted my blouse in the middle of the street looking for my phone," said Idania Ynes Contreras, who led the march and recorded a narration of the Wednesday confrontation on her phone. "We were all punched and had our hair pulled" as police carried the women to waiting patrol cars, Ynes added. Police also seized a frying pan the women had been banging on to attract attention. Six of the women were freed Thursday and the seventh was sent home late Wednesday, Ynes told El Nuevo Herald by telephone from her home in Santa Clara. Ynes said the seven members of the Rosa Parks Feminist Movement for Civil Rights, all dressed in black as a sign of mourning "for the victims of the dictatorship," launched the protest carrying a sign that said, "For Freedom, Against Impunity." The march was intended to protest the continued detention of independent journalist Yazmn Conlledo Rivern and her husband, Rafael lvarez Esmoris, who were arrested Jan. 8 on what Ynes described as fraudulent charges. The women had gone only about half a block, shouting "Freedom" and "Down with Repression," Ynes said, when uniformed police and State Security agents in civilian clothes swooped down on them and began searching for the phones. One security official told another, "that person has a cellular there," according to a transcript provided by the dissidents. The actual recording, posted on the blog of Jorge Luis Garca Prez, known as Antnez, is sometimes difficult to understand. Antnez, whose wife Yris Tamara Prez Aguilera was one of the seven women detained, writes the blog Ni Me Callo Ni Me Voy - I will not shut up or leave. The other women were identified as Yait Diosnelly Cruz Sosa, Yanisbel Valido, Xiomara Martn Jimnez, Mara del Carmen Martnez Lpez and Damaris Moya Portieles. The Rosa Parks movement is named after the Afro-American civil rights activist woman who sparked the bus boycott in Montgomery, Al. Antnez said police have subjected dissident women to sexual harassment in the past, and that his wife was once threatened with rape if she continued her activism against the government.
Dissident Miguel Rafael Cabrera Montoya, meanwhile, has started a hunger strike in a police station in the eastern town of Palma Soriano to protest his detention, his wife told Radio Mart. Yelena Garcs Npoles said Cabrera is under investigation for a robbery in Havana last year. But he's not been in Havana in two years, she told Radio Mart. In Washington, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a resolution condemning the Cuban government for the death of Wilman Villar, 31, a political prisoner who died earlier this month after a long hunger strike to protest a four-year-sentence. The resolution also asks all governments to push Cuba to halt human rights abuses and calls on the United Nations to suspend Cuba's membership in its Human Rights Council. (Return) 8.

Dissident Blogger Says Cubans Wanted More From Brazilian Visit

By Matthew Bristow Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez said her compatriots had hoped for more from Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who avoided criticizing the human rights situation on the communist island during a state visit to Havana this week. Sanchez said she had looked for at least a "small wink" from Rousseff, who was imprisoned and tortured for fighting Brazil's dictatorship in the 1960s, after a jailed dissident, Wilman Villar, died last month following a hunger strike and President Raul Castro vowed to maintain single-party rule. "It was pure chance that she came at this time, but people had hoped for more," Sanchez said in an interview last night in Havana. "I would've hoped for a small wink, a phrase with a double meaning that we could interpret, and that the government could interpret too." Rousseff, who concludes a three-day visit to Havana today, said that it was an internal matter for Cuba to decide whether to allow Sanchez to leave the island after Brazil last week granted the 36-year-old blogger an entry visa to attend next month a screening of a documentary she appears in. Sanchez, a critic of the Castro government on the Generation Y blog, has been denied permission to leave Cuba for four years. "Brazil gave the visa to the blogger," Rousseff, 64, told reporters yesterday in Havana before meeting with Castro and his brother Fidel. "The rest is not a matter for the Brazilian government." Rousseff, who has vowed to make human rights a cornerstone of her foreign policy, failed to comment on the Cuban government's record, pointing instead to the U.S. detention camp for suspected terrorists at Guantnamo Bay on the island's southeastern tip. "He who throws the first stone has a roof made of glass," said Rousseff, whose Workers' Party has long supported Cuba. "We in Brazil have our problems too." While critical of the Brazilian president's stance, Sanchez said Rousseff's silence is preferable to her predecessor and mentor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's siding with the Castro government after the death of another jailed hunger striker in 2010, she added. "I wake up every day and say to myself, today I am going to behave like a free person," Sanchez said. "Dilma once said the same. She paid a high personal and physical cost, but in the end life proved her right and Brazil became a democracy." Julia Sweig, an author of publications on Cuba and Brazil, said criticism of the Castro government is more widespread today than it's ever been since the 1959 revolution and taking many forms that escape the attention of foreign governments and media. As Cuba's second-biggest investor, helping Castro ease state control of the economy, Brazil is well-positioned to discuss the island's rights record behind the scenes in a productive manner, she added. "Yoani's situation bears zero comparison to what Dilma went through," said Sweig, director of the Latin America program at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. "Unlike Dilma, she hasn't been and won't be jailed or tortured and I seriously doubt she's going to be president of Cuba." Cuba's government relies on beatings, short-term detentions, forced exile and travel restrictions to repress virtually all forms of political dissent, New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a report this month. Cuba denies it's holding any political prisoners and considers dissident activity to be counterrevolutionary supported by anti-Castro "mercenaries" in the U.S. While blocked from traveling abroad, Sanchez has emerged as a leader among a group of young dissidents who describe the daily travails of life in Cuba through difficult-to-access social media. Many of 9
her chronicles are published by newspapers throughout Latin America. She has also written a book, "Havana Real: One Woman Fights to Tell the Truth About Cuba Today." Sanchez said the visibility she has gained through blogging gives her some protection from the Cuban government. "The day I stop blogging, they'll put me on trial," she said. Rousseff, who travels to Haiti today, discussed the possibility of hosting Raul Castro at a future date, according to a Brazilian official with the president who isn't authorized to comment on the two leaders' talks publicly.

Ohio man critically wounded in Haiti robbery dies; was working on orphanage project
MIAMI A U.S. man died Thursday from gunshot wounds he suffered a week ago during a robbery in Haiti where he was working on an orphanage he and his wife were building through their charity, officials said. David Bompart, 50, of Columbus, Ohio, died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted last week. He was shot Jan. 24 outside a bank in Haitis capital, Port-au-Prince. He was able to walk to the nearby Hospital Bernard Mevs Project Medishare, where he underwent two surgeries before being flown to Florida, his wife had said. Bompart had helped build the Project Medishare trauma center, managing the warehouse and logistics, after the devastating January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. David is a symbol of the thousands of American volunteers who dropped everything with their lives and their families to grab a small bag and get on a plane to Haiti, not knowing what to expect, said Dr. Barth Green, Project Medishares co-founder. Bompart, known as Big Dave, simply showed up at Project Medishares field hospital at the Port-auPrince airport 10 days after the earthquake, Green said. He was as big as one of our tents and he said, Can I help? Green said. He had extraordinary organizational and leadership skills, and within a short amount of time he was working for us. Bompart worked for Project Medishare through October, when he began an orphanage building project through Eyes Wide Open International, a charity the Bomparts started to help widows and orphans. Robbers sprayed bullets at Bompart at close range as he was picking up money for an orphanage building project, his wife, Nicolle Bompart, 45, said last week. They stole his camera and passport, but the money for the orphanage remained safe in Bomparts pants pocket, his wife said. The suspects have not been arrested. The Bomparts spent much of the last two years flying between Haiti, Florida and Ohio for their charity work and for medical care for their 14-year-old son, a Haitian boy they adopted after the earthquake. The couple also has a 26-year-old daughter. Nicolle Bompart said last week that she felt the robbery was the act of people desperate to feed their families. Her husband, who had served in the military in his native Trinidad and Tobago, felt he could handle the risks of working in a city prone to instability and violence, she said. Each had lost a first spouse to premature death, and her husband was devoted to helping people who suffered similar tragedies, Nicolle Bompart said. The couples charity would continue to work in Haiti and finish the orphanage, Bomparts family said in a statement. Its what Big Dave would have wanted, they said. Meanwhile, hospital security and police were investigating the theft of Nicolle Bomparts laptop computer at the hospital. Jackson has a zero tolerance for any criminal activity and always seeks to provide a safe and supportive place for patients and their loved ones. We sincerely regret this happened during such a trying time, hospital officials said in a statement.

Jamaica police pushed to reduce police killings

NEGRIL, Jamaica -- Every day, Richard Hill has to pass the bullet-scarred courtyard outside his home where he saw his 47-year-old brother gunned down at point-blank range by a police officer. That Thursday more than a year ago, police in a van skidded to a stop where Mickey Hill stood among friends and relatives outside his home on the main street in Negril, a western beach town popular with tourists. He had just returned from the store with a black plastic bag of groceries: canned milk, flour and cornmeal. One of the policemen, addressing Mickey as "big man," ordered him to open the bag, Richard Hill said. "When he brought his hand out, it was boom boom boom! Man, the first of the three shots went straight through the tinned milk he was holding in front of him," said Richard Hill. Police then threw his brother's lifeless body into the back of a jeep and drove away, he said. The Hill case has become a rallying point to end what human rights activists say is a culture of impunity that has allowed police to serve as judge, jury and executioner. Police said they were investigating the presence of gunmen and had indeed recovered a gun, but witnesses insisted there was no gun, nor were there gunmen, in the area. Hill worked as a captain of a sight-seeing boat. "He was a family man, a working man, but the cops gave him no chance," said Hill, his eyes tearing. The family's supporters have staged small rallies, including a candelight vigil in Negril on the anniversary of his slaying, demanding answers. The human rights group Jamaicans for Justice raised the case in a report to the U.N. Human Rights Committee. Hill and the rest of his family are bracing for a delayed round in court to determine whether the accused officer may be held accountable. But in Jamaica, chances are it will be a long, painful wait. More than 2,000 fatal shootings by security officers were reported by police over the last decade in this Caribbean country of 2.8 million people, but only one officer stands convicted of involvement in a wrongful killing. Police almost always claim that the deaths came as they responded to unprovoked gunfire. Police statistics show that more accused officers have fled the island than have been convicted of abuse since 1999. In May 2010, in one of the bloodiest episodes in Jamaica's recent history, 70 civilians were killed over the course of a few days while security forces hunted drug kingpin Christoper "Dudus" Coke. Officials promised to investigate, but have barely begun. "After more than a year-and-a-half of waiting, what can you possibly find if you begin an investigation now? Blood samples, gunshot residue, likely fingerprints are lost," said Yvonne McCalla Sobers, head of the Jamaican rights group Families Against State Terrorism. "That is enshrining impunity." Some despair of ever getting answers. "I have no faith in the integrity of the systems in Jamaica," said Claudine Clarke, whose father, an accountant, was shot 22 times by security forces in his upscale home outside Kingston during the police and military raids to catch Coke. At the time, authorities said they were operating on intelligence that the powerful gang leader was hiding there. Most of the killings occur in rough neighborhoods that are seldom seen by the tourists who flock to the scenic island's beaches. The areas are usually densely populated slums and shantytowns where violence is common. Deputy Police Commissioner Glenmore Hinds says the complaints are overblown, noting that Jamaican officers often work in very difficult environments and are threatened by the enormous number of illegal guns on the streets. About 70 percent of last year's roughly 1,100 murders were committed with illegal guns and about 12 to 14 police officers are killed each year. Hinds said police are trying to dismantle major gangs and lowered Jamaica's crime rate last year by 23 percent. Allegations of recurrent police abuses are from "ill-informed people," he said. "But we would never say that there are not any problems, and we take no comfort in any allegations of wrongdoing," said Hinds, who pointed out that the 211 reported police killings last year were 69 fewer than the official tally of 2010. Critics say they see no changes in what they call a shoot-first mentality among police. 11
"In the late 1990's, we were aghast at the police killing figures of 130, 140. Now, amazingly, 211 killings is touted as a sign that we had a good year," Sobers said. The roughly year-old Independent Commission of Investigations, set up by the government to investigate police abuses, is struggling to get reforms from security forces and cooperation from an ineffective justice system, where a backlog of unresolved criminal cases stands in excess of 414,000. The commission says investigations of alleged brutality by agents of the state continue to be "plagued by delay, inertia and a lack of adequate resources." The problems have been aggravated by an overworked and under-equipped crime lab that can take months or even years to analyze ballistics evidence. National Security Minister Peter Bunting, who has been in office for about a month, said he hopes to develop new policies encouraging the use of non-lethal weapons to stem the bloodshed. It is often tough to even know which officers commit abuses because police in gritty slums sometimes wear masks or kerchiefs over their faces and too many routinely conceal their badge numbers on patrols, said independent commission chief Terrence Williams. "It is already difficult to identify them with all their gear. When on top of that they wear a mask covering their face, it is impossible to identify them," Williams said. Police spokesman Karl Angell said there would be no comment about another agency's criticism. But at a press conference last year, Angell said officers are only permitted to wear masks in "very, very special circumstances" to protect their identities on sensitive operations, and must have received approval of the high command. Nevertheless, the use of identity-masking balaclavas or handkerchiefs is actually on the rise, according to Carolyn Gomes, executive director of the Jamaicans For Justice rights group. At least two of the officers who descended upon Hill's brother on Nov. 4, 2010, were wearing masks, according to relatives and other witnesses. Hill and his family are getting frustrated with the slow pace of Jamaican justice, which they believe is meant to chip away at their resolve. Early last year, Williams' commission arrested and charged an officer with the slaying, but the public prosecutor's office withdrew that charge, arguing the panel did not have the power to bring a case before the court. The backlogged prosecutor's office then filed its own indictment, and the accused Kingstonbased officer was released on roughly $6,000 bail. Setting a trial date was delayed last month and it's not clear when the case might be heard. "The way they do it here, people always wait for years so the witnesses give up if they don't get scared first," Hill said quietly, standing beside a tree where one of the accused policeman's bullets lodged. "But we're seeing this through. We're not letting this go." (Return)

Police Find 4 Bodies In Western El Salvador

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Salvadoran police say they have found the bodies of four people inside black plastic bags dumped separately in the town of Sonsonate. Among the victims is former professional soccer player Ladislao Nerio, who had been strangled. Thursday's statement from the national police says all the victims, a woman among them, had their hands and feet tied. National police say they have detained two men and two women who were inside a house where officers found traces of blood. Sonsonate police say0 they are investigating whether gangs are involved. An estimated 20,000 Salvadorans belong to street gangs, which deal drugs and extort businesses. Nerio played for several top division clubs in El Salvador and retired in 2009. (Return)

Indians Block Panama Roads In Debate Over Mining

PANAMA CITY (AP) - Members of an Indian tribe in Panama are blocking roads in two provinces on the border with Costa Rica in a dispute over mineral exploitation on their lands. Protesters from the Ngobe-Bugle tribe have been manning roadblocks of stones and branches set up Monday in Bocas del Toro and Chiriqui in western Panama. They have also closed sections of road in Veraguas province. A tribal spokesman told The Associated Press on Thursday that the protesters will not negotiate directly with the government but want discussions with the Central American country's Legislative Assembly. The assembly has taken initial steps toward lifting a mining moratorium in the region where many of the tribe's members live. (Return)

Brazil's Minister Of Cities Steps Down

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) - Brazil's minister of cities resigned Thursday amid allegations of irregularities, the eighth member of President Dilma Rousseff's Cabinet to step down since June. Rousseff accepted Mario Negromonte's resignation and wished him luck in his new projects, the office of the presidency said in a brief statement. Aguinaldo Ribeiro, also of Negromonte's Progressive Party, was named to replace him. The Progressive Party is part of the governing coalition. The Cities Ministry coordinates urban development policies in a country where more than 80 percent of the population live in cities. Negromonte is accused of awarding public work contracts to companies that had financed his party. He denies all accusations and said his resignation in no way indicated he was guilty. Since Rousseff assumed office on Jan. 1, 2011, the ministers of cities, defense, transportation, agriculture, tourism, sports and labor have stepped down. The president's chief-of-staff, also a Cabinet member, resigned amid questions over how his personal wealth soared while he was a legislator in 2006-10. Former Defense Minister Nelson Jobim was forced to resign in August after saying he was surrounded by "idiots" and insulting other ministers. Rousseff, however, has managed to remain above the scandals, enjoying a high popularity rating among Brazilians. Some have commended Brazil's first female president for taking action against ministers facing corruption allegations. (Return)

Olympics, World Cup preparation bring evictions

By Juliana Barbassa RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Like most Brazilians, Evandro dos Santos' devotion to soccer borders on the religious. Even when he wasn't watching a game, he loved hearing the roar of the crowd in nearby Maracana stadium this nation's temple to the sport. But Santos says he'll never set foot in the place again. Rio de Janeiro is giving the stadium's neighborhood a $63.2 million facelift as it prepares to host the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Maracana will be the jewel crowning both events, with the 13
opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics and the final World Cup matches held within its storied blue and gray walls. The shantytown where Santos has lived with his family for 19 years, known as Favela do Metro, does not fit in that picture. It's being bulldozed; hundreds of families have been bought out as part of a "revitalization" process for the big events and the hordes of foreigners they will draw. "They're destroying our neighborhood for a game," Santos said, standing in the convenience store and bar he runs in the front of his family's house. All across Rio, people are being pushed out of their homes in dozens of communities like Metro to make way for new roads, Olympic venues and other projects. Authorities won't say how many people are affected and mostly don't provide details on the plans for the areas where residents are being evicted. Documents obtained by The Associated Press, however, show that in 2010 alone, the municipal housing authority made 6,927 payments for resettlement costs, rent supplements or buy-outs to people in 88 communities across Rio. Nationwide, about 170,000 people are facing threats to their housing, or already have been removed, in the 12 cities that will host World Cup matches, according to the Coalition of Popular Committees for the World Cup and the Olympics, an advocacy group for residents of the affected shantytowns. In Rio, the city housing authority and the international and local Olympic organizing committees say all is being done according to the law. But residents, advocates and legal authorities say rights are being abused and warn that could be the legacy of the Olympics and World Cup. The office of Rio's municipal housing authority chief, Jorge Bittar, responded to repeated inquiries from the AP about removals with a statement saying that "resettling has been done in the most democratic way possible, respecting the rights of each family." It said officials explain to each family the value of their property, and then offer a choice from several options: a home in a federal housing project in the place of their choosing, a stipend of up to $230 a month to rent a home they find themselves, compensation for their house, or assistance in purchasing another house. The International Olympic Committee and Rio 2016, the local organizing committee, said in a statement that they're following the resettlement issue closely and think removals abide by Brazilian law. Residents of Metro and lawyers tell a different story. Standing in the bar he runs in the shantytown, Santos gestured at the layer of bricks, twisted metal and broken plaster that surrounds his home. Across the street, next door, even on the floor above, homes have been demolished. Children play in the debris, which has been piling up since demolitions started in early 2009. Other homes are tagged in blue with the letters SMH the initials of the municipal housing authority. That means they're next. But nobody in Metro knows for sure what's in store for the slum. The housing authority's statement said only that the "area around the stadium will be totally revitalized." Some residents were threatened by city workers who told them they had no rights to the land, which they occupied in the 1970s. The workers said the residents "didn't even own the walls of their homes," Santos said. Initially, they were offered government-built housing in a working-class suburb 45 miles away, with poor access to transportation and jobs. About 100 families accepted, under duress. Another 100 or so took the offer that followed resettlement in a closer housing project. About 270 families are resisting, however, said the Metro residents association president, Francicleide Souza. "We are living in fear and uncertainty," Souza said. "We don't know what will happen to our families tomorrow." Compensation paid per home for the removals in 2010 averaged $16,000. The amount varies according to the size and quality of a structure. The money offered is not nearly enough to find another home in Rio, said Eliomar Coelho, a city councilman heading an investigation into removals. Market studies say Rio's real estate is now among the most expensive in the Americas. "If you're going to take someone out of their home, you have to provide them with an alternative that is equal or better," Coelho said.

Alexandre Mendes, until recently head of the housing rights unit of the Rio state public defenders office, contends the relocation process is riddled with illegalities. "Many of these removals did not respect principles and rights considered basic in local and international law," he said. There are dozens of pending cases charging irregularities during the past three years, Mendes said. He said abuses include pulling families from homes at night while a bulldozer stood by to start demolition, forcing families to move to distant housing projects, and paying those who chose financial compensation little for their homes. In the case of the Restinga slum, which made way for the new Transoeste highway across Rio's west side, Mendes was awakened by residents' calls in the middle of the night. It was just before Christmas 2010, he said. He got there at 2:30 a.m. and saw heavy machinery tearing down houses. If people refused to leave, walls were knocked down with them still inside, he said. "The brutality of that moment, I can describe because I was there and I saw it," he said. Metro's people know all this, and fear much more since city officials have given them little concrete information. Santos knows, for example, of one resident who ran a paper goods store out of his home, and got $4,060 in compensation. It's not enough to build a new home and store elsewhere, so Santos is not giving up on his own property. He's pinning his hopes on a rumor that of the community's 126 businesses, 40 will remain. Maybe he'll be one of the 40. "I have built something here a house, a business," Santos said. "That's what I want. Not a gift, not charity. I want to keep on working and earning my money and feeding my family." (Return)

Prince William Arrives In Falklands On RAF Mission

Prince William arrived in the Falkland Islands on Thursday for a six-week deployment with the Royal Air Force (RAF), British officials said, a move Argentina has condemned as a "provocation". The 29-year-old, who is second in line to the throne, has been deployed to the disputed South Atlantic archipelago as a routine part of his work as an RAF search and rescue pilot, the Ministry of Defence said. However the timing of the deployment, just ahead of the 30th anniversary of the start of the war between Britain and Argentina over the Falkland Islands which Buenos Aires claims as its own, has stoked tensions. "The Ministry of Defence can confirm Flight Lieutenant Wales, as part of a four-man search and rescue (SAR) crew, has arrived in the Falkland Islands on a routine operational deployment and will shortly take up SAR duties post a period of briefings and a familiarisation flight," a ministry spokesman said. When William's deployment was announced in November, Argentina said it was a "provocative act", and this week the foreign ministry in Buenos Aires said the prince would be arriving in a "conqueror's uniform". Tensions have not been helped by Britain's announcement this week that it is sending a state-of-the-art warship to the region, although defence officials insisted the move was a purely routine deployment. HMS Dauntless, a Type 45 destroyer, is due to head out on her maiden voyage in the coming months to replace the smaller Type 23 frigate HMS Montrose in the South Atlantic Ocean. The Ministry of Defence said William "will be deploying purely in an RAF role and will not be completing any ceremonial roles as the Duke of Cambridge". The windswept islands, which have about 3,000 inhabitants, have been held by Britain since 1833 although Argentina maintains its claim over the territory. On April 2, 1982, the then-ruling junta in Argentina invaded, sparking a 74-day war with Britain which cost the lives of 649 Argentine and 255 British troops. London retained control and has vowed to defend the islands as long as the inhabitants want to be part of Britain. (Return) 15

Spain proposes to LatAm a new "more balanced" relationship

Madrid, Feb 2 (EFE).- Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo on Thursday offered to open with the countries of Latin America a new relationship that will be "on an equal footing and more balanced." Garcia-Margallo expressed the desire of the Spanish government to Latin American ambassadors at a meeting in Madrid, the foreign ministry said in a communique. The minister guaranteed the envoys that Madrid is willing to maintain development aid to the region as "one of the fundamental lines of Spanish policy." "Spain wants to establish a new relationship with the countries of Latin America, on an equal footing, more balanced and based on shared interests and the rich variety of ties that bind us to the region, with the aim of together gaining greater prominence on the international scene," the foreign minister said. Attending the meeting were representatives from all the countries of Latin America, except for Panama due to technical problems, according to what foreign ministry officials told Efe. Garcia-Margallo placed special emphasis on the "priority place" that Latin America occupies in the foreign policy of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government. He emphasized "the great dynamism of the region, its good performance in the face of the (economic) crisis and its growing weight on the international scene." The minister relayed the government's willingness to foster "through a new diplomacy" the investments of Spanish companies and trans-Atlantic trade in such a way that all parties benefit and "more prosperous and more united societies" may be built, the communique said. He also explained the preparations for the Ibero-American Summit that will be held in Cadiz at the end of the year within the context of the bicentennial of Spain's 1812 constitution. Garcia-Margallo and the ambassadors agreed on "the importance of the common linguistic and cultural heritage as an instrument to boost the role of the Spanish-speaking community in the world."
