M EXICO CITY (AP) -
During a formal visit to W ash­
in g to n , D .C ., P re s id e n t
V icente Fox met with Presi­
dent Bush to offer his nation's
support for the U.S. war on
terror.
Congress approved F o x ’s
one-day trip to W ashington
as required by M exico’s con-
'
stitution.
Despite M exico’s political
and economic ties with its
northern neighbor, it has been
one o f the m ost hesitant o f
the U.S. allies to express full
support for W ashington’s lat­
est fight — in part because
o f a long-standing policy o f
international nonintervention.
Shortly afler the Sept. 11
attack s, Fox declared his
“complete solidarity” with the
United States. But since then,
he and his advisers have sent
m ixed m essages about how
far their support will go.
Interior Secretary Santiago
C reel urged caution on Sept.
26, saying M exico should
never subordinate its i inter­
ests to those o f the United
States. An hour later. For­

Castaneda called for coop­
eration, telling Congress that
if Mexico is to be a key player
on the world stage, it must
make the U.S. battle against
terrorists its own.
Reno can be Sued Over Elian Gonzalez Raid
MIAMI (AP) — Form er
Attorney General Janet Reno
can be sued by protesters and
bystanders injured during the
raid to seize Elian Gonzalez
from his Miami relatives’ home,
a federal judge has ruled.
U .S. D istric t Judge K.
M ichael M oore ruled that
R eno's position, as attorney
general did not give her immu­
nity from being sued for the
raid, which she ordered.
Fifty-two people sued Reno
and two other officials for at
least $ 100 million, claiming fed­
eral agents gassed, beat and
threatened them during the raid
on April 22,2000.
Moore dismissed the suit
against the other federal offi­
cials because they had not or­
dered the raid. He also ruled that
five plaintiffs could not sue be­
cause they were not injured.
The judge also dismissed al­
legations o f excessive force.
He ruled the raid was “neither
particularly violent, nor was
the number o f law enforce­
ment officers disproportionate
to the ... need to maintain or­
der.”
Reno, who is seeking the
Democratic nomination for
governor in Florida, did not
immediately return phone calls
seeking comment.
Justice Department attor­
neys who have been repre­
senting Reno in the suit will not
.comment until they review the
ruling, spokesm an Charles
Miller said.
No trial date has been set.
Tom Fitton, the president of
Judicial Watch, a conservative
legal group representing the
plaintiffs, said Reno acted irre­
sponsibly in ordering the raid to
return Elian, then 6, to his fa­
ther in Cuba.
“ She knew (bystanders’)
constitutional rights would be
violated and she didn’t care,”
Fitton said.

was dominant in the 1970s and
1980s. Three months ago, he lost
to Hector Camacho.
In 1972, Duran took Ken
Buchanan’s WBA lightweight
title.
But Duran’s most famous vic­
tory was over Sugar Ray Leonard,
in a welterweight fight in 1980.
Later that year came his most fa­
mous defeat, when Duran said
“No mas” and quit in the eighth
round of the rematch. Duran later
won two other titles.
