NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A FRANCE: ‘The terrorist character (of the attack) cannot be denied’ Plan for federal wolf delisting clears U.S. House the state of emergency and the Sentinel operation with 10,000 soldiers on patrol, he said he was calling up “operational reserves,” those who have served in the past and will be brought in to help police, particularly at French borders. President Barack Obama condemned what he said “appears to be a horriic terrorist attack.” European Council presi- dent Donald Tusk said it was a “tragic paradox” that the victims of the attack in Nice were celebrating “liberty, equality and fraternity” — France’s motto — on the country’s national day. Writing online, Nice Matin journalist Damien Allemand who was at the waterside said the ireworks display had inished and the crowd had got up to leave when they heard a noise and cries. “A fraction of a second later, an enormous white truck came along at a crazy speed, turning the wheel to mow down the maximum number of people,” he said. “I saw bodies lying like bowling pins along its route. Heard noises, cries that I will never forget.” Graphic footage showed a scene of horror up and down the Promenade, with broken bodies splayed out on the asphalt, some of them piled near one another, others bleeding out onto the roadway or twisted into unnatural shapes. “Help my mother, please!” one person yells out amid a cacophony of screaming and crying. A pink girl’s bicycle is briely seen overturned by the side of the road. The origin and authen- ticity of the footage could not immediately be veriied. Kayla Repan, of Boca Raton, Florida, was among the hundreds gathered on the promenade to watch ireworks. “The whole city was running. I got extremely frightened and ran away from the promenade,” she said. “It was chaos.” Continued from 1A an exchange of gunire.” The president of the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur regional council, which includes Nice, said the truck was loaded with arms and grenades. Christian Estrosi told BFM TV that “the driver ired on the crowd, according to the police who killed him.” Images being broadcast across French media showed revelers running for their lives down Nice’s palm tree-lined Promenade des Anglais, the famous seaside boulevard named for the English aristocrats who proposed its construc- tion in the 19th century. Video footage showed men and women — one or two pushing strollers — racing to get away from the scenes. And, in what appeared to be evidence of a gun battle, photos showed a truck with at least half a dozen bullet holes punched through its windshield. It was not immediately clear who would have been behind an attack, but France has recently seen a spate of dramatic assaults by jihadist groups, including the Islamic State group which straddles Iraq and Syria. President Francois Hollande said in a televised statement that all of France was under an “Islamist terrorist threat” and extended by three months a state of emergency that has been in place since the November attacks that killed 130 in Paris was to end July 26. The decision needs parliamentary approval. “The terrorist character (of the attack) cannot be denied,” he said. Hollande said he was calling a defense council meeting Friday that brings together defense, interior and other key ministers, then heading to Nice. He listed several measures to bolster security in France after two waves of attacks last year that killed 147 people. Besides continuation of By KRISTENA HANSEN Associated Press PORTLAND — As the battle over Oregon’s recent delisting of the gray wolf as endangered is waged in a courtroom, the state’s lone Republican congressman helped convince the House to approve a plan to remove all protections for the species at the federal level. The proposal cleared the chamber Wednesday with a 223-201 vote and now heads to the Senate, It was introduced Monday by Oregon Rep. Greg Walden and Washington state Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Dan Newhouse as an amendment to a large federal appropriations package. The plan would enable the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to move forward with its proposal made three years ago to delist the gray wolf under the federal Endangered Species Act by 2017. Population management would instead be at the discretion of the lower 48 states, although it wouldn’t directly impact state-level endangered species lists or wolf management plans in separate places such as Oregon. “Oregon’s wolf popu- lation has grown by more than 40 percent, and yet we have this divided manage- ment strategy in the federal government where in part of the state wolves are still listed and part of the state they’re not,” Walden said in a statement. “We need a single management strategy where we have local control under the Oregon state plan.” Gray wolves in the eastern third of Oregon are under state management but, as of last fall, are not considered endangered as they are by federal oficials elsewhere in the state. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission took the wolf off the state endan- gered list in November — a decision wildlife advocates are currently ighting in AP Photo/J.

With federal delisting in limbo as the wolf population keeps growing, Walden said there’s little recourse for area ranchers and challenges for the ive year review of the Oregon Wolf Plan. Oregon Rep.

The broader bill containing the wolf amend- ment won’t clear the Senate, he said. But in year-end negotiations, “I assume the Republicans will assert, ‘Oh gee, we got all these amend- ments and we want them in the year-end deal,’ which (is) how they got the irst partial delisting of the wolves,” DeFazio said. Nick Cady, attorney for Eugene-based Cascadia Wildlands, one of the groups ighting the state’s delisting in court, also expressed concerns about how year-end wolf negotiations would play out. “It is just so apparent that so-called ‘local control’ simply means an absence of protections for the species,” Cady said.
