5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF said. Her youngest daughter, just over a year old who lost three of her toes to the blast, played in her lap. Associated Press Inauguration in sight, Trump continues Twitter assault NEW YORK — His inauguration days away, President-elect Donald Trump is continuing to lash out at critics in the intelli- gence community and Democrats in Congress who are vowing to skip his swearing-in ceremony. The tough-talking Republican questioned whether the CIA director himself was “the leaker of fake news” in a Sunday night tweet. The extraordinary criticism from the incoming president came hours after CIA chief John Brennan charged that Trump lacks a full understanding of the threat Moscow poses to the United States, delivering a public lecture to the president-elect that fur- ther highlighted the bitter state of Trump’s relations with Ameri- can intelligence agencies. “Now that he’s going to have an opportunity to do something for our national security as opposed to talking and tweeting, he’s going to have tremendous responsibility to make sure that U.S. and national security interests are protected,” Brennan said on “Fox News Sunday,” warning that the president-elect’s impulsiv- ity could be dangerous. The president-elect remained behind closed doors in his Man- hattan high rise for the weekend as his team worked to answer questions about his plans at home and abroad once he’s sworn into office on Friday. Revelers, rally-goers to clog DC for Trump’s inauguration WASHINGTON — Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to clog the nation’s capital for Donald Trump’s inau- guration and a major demonstration the day after, but how many will actually arrive to party or protest is an open question. Officials estimate that 800,000 to 900,000 people will be pres- ent Friday for the inauguration, a celebration that takes over the city, closing roads, taxing the city’s Metro transit system and making getting around difficult. Trump himself has promised “massive crowds” but just what that will mean is unclear. Hundreds of thousands of others are expected Saturday for the Women’s March on Washington. Trump showed he could draw crowds during the campaign, but his supporters weren’t so quick to make plans to be in Wash- ington for his inauguration. Elliott Ferguson, the president of Destination DC, the city’s convention and tourism bureau, said that before Election Day hotels had more events tentatively planned for a Hillary Clin- ton victory than a Donald Trump one. And when Trump won, the “level of enthusiasm” and demand for hotel rooms did not imme- diately reach that of past recent inaugurations, he said. Oman says it accepts 10 Guantanamo Bay inmates DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Oman said Monday it accepted 10 inmates from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay ahead of President Barack Obama leaving office, part of his efforts to shrink the facility he promised to close. There was no immediate word from the U.S. Defense Depart- ment about the transfer. Oman’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Oman News Agency that it had accepted the prisoners at Obama’s request. It did not name the prisoners. Omani and U.S. military officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press. The sultanate of Oman, on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, previously accepted 10 Guantanamo prisoners from Yemen in January 2016. Oman also took another six in June 2015. Meanwhile, Oman’s neighbor Saudi Arabia took four pris- oners on Jan. 5 and the United Arab Emirates took 15 prisoners in the largest-single transfer during Obama’s administration on Aug. 15. South Korea seeks arrest of Samsung scion in graft scandal SEOUL, South Korea — In a departure from the leniency typically given South Korean big businesses, prosecutors on Monday requested the arrest of the de facto head of Samsung Electronics, the country’s most valuable company, in an influ- ence-peddling scandal that has toppled the country’s president. Lee Jae-yong, the 48-year-old vice chairman at Samsung Elec- tronics, faces allegations of embezzlement, of lying under oath during a parliamentary hearing and of offering a bribe of 43 bil- lion won ($36 million) to a long-time friend of impeached Pres- ident Park Geun-hye, according to Lee Kyu-chul, a spokesman Inspired by Nepalese, UK architect rebuilds ancient temple AP Photo/Evan Vucci Abortion rights activists celebrate during a rally at the Su- preme Court in Washington, D.C., last June. The tens of thou- sands of women flocking to Washington for a march on the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration come packing a mul- titude of agendas, but are united in their loathing for Trump. for a special prosecutors’ team investigating the political scandal. It will surprise many that prosecutors requested the arrest of the man who symbolizes the future of South Korea’s most import- ant chaebol, as family-controlled conglomerates are known. Such leaders tend to be treated as vital for the national economy. Samsung Electronics is South Korea’s most successful com- pany and a source of pride for many who equate its huge global success with national prestige. The company has gone through a rough patch in the past half-year, however, after its latest pre- mium smartphone was found to be prone to catching fire. Prosecutors understood worries that Lee’s arrest could hurt the economy, but “we believed that it was even more important to carry out justice,” Lee, the spokesman at the special prosecu- tors’ team, told reporters. Kyrgyzstan Health Ministry says cargo plane crash kills 37 BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — A cargo plane crashed Monday in a residential area just outside the main airport in Kyrgyzstan, kill- ing at least 37 people, the Emergency Situations Ministry said on Monday. The Turkish Boeing 747 crashed just outside the Manas air- port, south of the capital Bishkek, killing people in the residential area adjacent to the airport as well as those on the plane. Reports of the death toll on Monday ranged from 37 people according to emergency officials in the Central Asian nation, to 31 reported by the presidential press office which also said rescue teams had recovered parts of nine bodies. Fifteen people includ- ing six children have been hospitalized. Images from the scene showed the nose of the plane stuck inside a brick house and large fragments of debris scattered around. Several dozen private houses cluster just outside the metal fence separating the cottages from the runway. Manas has been considerably expanded since the United States began to operate a military installation at the Manas airport, using it primarily for its operations in Afghanistan. American troops vacated the base and handed it over to the Kyrgyz military in 2014. Civilian casualties mount as Iraqi forces advance in Mosul CHANGU NARAYAN, Nepal — When a 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Nepal last year, villagers in Changu Narayan ran up the steep rocky path that cuts through their town to their renowned temple. Seeing the piles of rubble, they figured their lives were over. Less than two years later, the community is cleaning up their World Heritage Site themselves, and one of the world’s leading architects has taken on the recovery as his pet project. “I see now our world coming back alive,” said Gyan Bahadur Bhadal, 61, one of many villagers who share responsibility for the temple’s upkeep. In a country where locals say there are more gods than people and more temples than houses, Changu Narayan still manages to stand out among the ancient holy places. It’s believed to be the oldest Hindu place of worship in the country, its wooden walls intricately carved with hundreds of deities, perched atop a steep hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley. The 5th century temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who locals say appeared there once. His image, in about a dozen incar- nations, is carved into struts that hold up the roof. Stone lions with eagle heads guard the doors. Inside has long been a mystery: Only priests enter the two-tiered pagoda, and they don’t explore. Academics race to save rare colonial documents in Cuba HAVANA — An American team of academics is racing to preserve millions of Cuban historical documents before they are lost to the elements and poor storage conditions. Many of the documents shed light on the slave trade, an inte- gral part of Cuba’s colonial history that was intertwined with that of the United States. David Lafevor, a history professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, and his brother Matthew, a geography professor at the University of Alabama, have worked since 2005 to make computer copies of millions of documents mouldering in damp storage spaces on the island. Their latest project is a partnership between the British Library Foundation and Vanderbilt University to capture almost 2 million documents in digital form, a treasure trove stretching back to the mid-16th century of documents about early island life and the slave trade. David Lafevor said there is nothing like Cuba’s documents in the U.S., where slaves were considered possessions, not human beings. IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR! ½ PRICE WEDNESDAYS 60 & OVER EAT FOR HALF PRICE ALL DAY CHECK OUT OUR $ IRBIL, Iraq — The mortar attack that left Um Yousef blind in one eye and killed two of her children came on the same day that Iraqi forces retook her neighborhood in eastern Mosul from the Islamic State group. “We were supposed to be liberated that day,” she said from her hospital bed in the nearby city of Irbil. She asked to only be identified by a nickname to protect her family members still liv- ing inside Mosul. Doctors at West Irbil Emergency Hospital say cases like Um Yousef’s are on the rise as Iraqi forces continue to make gains against IS in their effort to take control of Mosul. The blast of the attack that wounded Um Yousef ripped open her daughter’s stomach, killing her instantly. Her son Yousef was hit in the head with shrapnel and he slowly bled out as they waited for hours for help. As Um Yousef was evacuated by the Iraqi military, her husband stayed behind in Mosul to bury the two children. “I called him by phone, but he just cries, saying nothing,” she 6 DAILY SOUP & LUNCH SPECIALS MON: TOMATO BASIL & TRIPLE GRILLED CHEESE TUE: MINESTRONE & 1/2 REUBEN WED: BEEF BARLEY & 1/2 PATTY MELT THU: POTATO LEEK SOUP & FRENCH DIP FRI: CHICKEN TORTILLA & FISH TACOS OUR SOUPS ARE, OF COURSE, HOMEMADE OPEN DAILY AT 11AM 1 BLOCK OFF BROADWAY • 1 BLOCK FROM BEACH 20 N.
