21 die as commuter
plane crashes in N.C.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A US Air
ways commuter plane corkscrewed
into the earth outside a hangar at
Charlotte/Douglas International Air
port on Wednesday, exploding in a
fireball that killed all 21 aboard.
The plane, Flight 5481 bound for
Greenville-Spartanburg, S.C., was
full with 19 passengers and two pi
lots aboard when it crashed at 8:49
a.m. EDT, missing by less than 50
yards a US Airways maintenance
base with hundreds of workers.
About 400 workers scrambled to
safety from the cavernous hangar,
avoiding a torrent of burning avia
tion fuel that surged from a storm
drain like lava.
The cause of the crash was un
known, but authorities said there
was a truncated conversation be
tween the tower and the pilot after
takeoff. Witnesses said the aircraft
seemed to struggle from the start.
The flight data recorder and the
cockpit voice recorder were recov
ered and will be examined Thursday.

North Korea condemns
U.S.; Bush offers talks
SEOUL, South Korea — With the
diplomatic ball in its court, North Ko
rea stuck Wednesday to its long-held
game plan of firing off bombastic rhet
oric while pretending to ignore
mounting international pressure to
end its nuclear weapons programs.
Hours after the Bush administra
tion shifted tactics Tuesday and for
mally agreed to talk with North Ko
rea, the isolated communist
country’s official news agency re
leased a vitriolic condemnation of
the United States without acknowl
edging what South Korea’s media
heralded as a potential breakthrough
in the standoff.
r
“The ‘nuclear issue’ that renders
the situation on the Korean peninsu
la strained is a product of the U.S.
strategy to dominate the world
whereby it is working hard to bring
a holocaust of a nuclear war to the
Korean nation, calling for a pre-emp
tive nuclear strike after deploying
lots of nuclear weapons in and
around South Korea,” said a com
mentary from the North Korean
news agency.

GOP struggles for way
to address race issues
WASHINGTON—As Republicans
tried urgently to come up with a plan
Wednesday to illustrate their com
mitment to civil rights, a furor over
President George W. Bush’s renomi
nation of controversial Judge
Charles Pickering to a federal ap
peals court ensured the task would
be even more difficult.
Senate Republicans huddled in
side the ornate Library of Congress
during a daylong retreat in which
they pledged to increase spending on
historically black colleges and uni
versities, assist educational institu
tions that serve Hispanics, aid small
businesses and hold “leadership
summits” with African-Americans,
Hispanics and women.
Democrats and civil rights activists
quickly derided the Republican pro
posals as woefully insufficient. Senate
Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., re
peatedly dodged questions about
whether he would support Pickering,
who was rejected last year on a party
line vote by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. Critics say Pickering, a
federal judge in Mississippi, has a his
tory of racial insensitivity.

Bill would ban human
. cloning for any reason
' ORLANDO, Fla. — All human
cloning would be banned under a bill
introduced Wednesday in Congress,
touching off a new debate over
whether to halt potentially promis
ing research into treatments for
many diseases.
The bill—sponsored in part by U.S.
Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla. — would
send people to jail and levy fines up to
SI million for human cloning endeav
ors, whether the intent is to make a
baby or conduct research.
The total ban is expected to pass
the U.S. House but stall in the Sen
ate, where lawmakers oppose the
technique for reproduction but re
main divided over whether it could
be used for research.
There are strong voices on both
sides, setting up what is likely to be
a pivotal debate on one of the newest
and most controversial areas of med
ical experimentation.

Sharon investigation
erodes Likud support
JERUSALEM — Reports that Is
raeli police were investigating Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon’s finances rat
tled his Likud Party on Wednesday
and threatened to further whittle its
lead in the polls over the Labor Party
in the final weeks before national
elections on Jan. 28.
Already battered by reports of
vote-buying and criminal involve
ment in its primary elections last
month, Likud appeared to be in dan
ger of losing more ground following
the latest disclosures.
The Ha’aretz newspaper reported
on Tuesday that police were investi
gating suspicions that Sharon re
ceived $1.49 million from Cyril
Kern, a businessman in South
Africa, as security for a bank loan,
but failed to disclose the transfer
when questioned by police investiga
tors, falsely claiming that the loan
was obtained in return for the mort
gage of his ranch.
The bank loan was used to repay
improper contributiorfs* tO' Sharon’s
1999 primary campaign.
