for added security
1DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia (AP)
— Using forklifts to position
concrete barriers, workers ex
panded the security wall around
the bombed U.S. military housing
complex Monday.
The new wall and other securi
ty measures are scheduled to be
completed this week to better
protect the 2,000 American

bomb-laden fuel truck exploded
June 25, killing 19 Americans.

Three whites arrested
for black church fire
2CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) —
Three white teen-agers were
arrested in an April 16 fire that
destroyed a black church build
ing.
Investigators have no evidence
the fire was racially motivated or
linked to any other arson, said
Bill Dunham, agent in charge of
the Richmond office of the feder
al Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms.
Suspicious fires have hit more
than 40 black churches in the
South in the past 18 months.
Firefighters have their
hands full in California
3IDYLLWILD, Calif. (AP) — An
estimated 1,000 firefighters
mounted an air and ground as
sault to protect a Southern Califor
nia mountain resort from flames
crackling through the dry brush
Monday.
Nineteen aircraft bombarded
the flames with fire retardant and
water. On the ground, firefighters
working in temperatures over 100
degrees cut down vegetation to try
to halt the fire. The fire was ignit
ed Saturday by a ricocheting bull
let fired by a target shooter.
Communications Act
injunction appealed
4PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The
Justice Department appealed to
the U.S. Supreme Court Monday
to lift an injunction blocking the
Communications Decency Act.
Three federal judges issued the
injunction June 12, saying that the
law violates constitutional free
doms of speech.
The government used a fast
track clause built into the act to
file its appeal directly to the
Supreme Court. The contested
law makes it a crime to display
“indecent” and “patently offen
sive” material in online areas ac
cessible to minors.
