Afghans angry over burning of WORLD BRIEFING Libyan rebels Quran in Florida KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghans angry over the burning of a Quran at a small Florida church stormed a U.N. compound in north- ern Afghanistan on Friday, killing seven foreigners, including four Nepalese guards. Afghan authorities suspect insur- gents melded into the mob and they announced the arrest of more than 20 people, including a militant they sus- pect was the ringleader of the assault in Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial cap- ital of Balkh province. The suspect was an insurgent from Kapisa province, a hotbed of militancy about 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of the city, said Rawof Taj, deputy provincial police chief. The topic of Quran burning stirred outrage among millions of Muslims and others worldwide after the Rev. Terry Jones’ small church, Dove Out- reach Center, threatened to destroy a copy of the holy book last year. The pastor backed down but the church in Gainesville, Florida, went through with the burning last month. Four protesters also died in the violence in Mazar-i-Sharif, which is on a list of the first seven areas of the country where Afghan security forces are slated to take over from the U.S.- led coalition starting in July. Other demonstrations, which were peace- ful, were held in Kabul and Herat in western Afghanistan, fueling resent- ment against the West at a critical moment in the Afghan war. Protesters burned a U.S. flag at a sports stadium in Herat and chanted ‘‘Death to the U.S.’’ and ‘‘They broke the heart of Islam.’’ About 100 people gathered at a traffic circle near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. One protest- er carried a sign that said: ‘‘We want these bloody bastard Americans with all their forces to leave Afghanistan.’’ more disciplined AJDABIYA, Libya (AP) — Some- thing new has appeared at the Libyan front: a semblance of order among rebel forces. Rebels without training — sometimes even without weapons — have rushed in and out of fighting in a free-for-all for weeks, repeatedly getting trounced by Moammar Gad- hafi’s more heavily armed forces. But on Friday only former military officers and the lightly trained volun- teers serving under them are allowed on the front lines. Some are recent arrivals, hoping to rally against forces loyal to the Libyan leader who have pushed rebels back about 100 miles this week. The better organized fighters, unlike some of their predecessors, can tell the difference between incoming and outgoing fire. They know how to avoid sticking to the roads, a weakness in the untrained forces that Gadhafi’s troops have exploited. And they know how to take orders. ‘‘The problem with the young untrained guys is they’ll weaken us at the front, so we’re trying to use them as a backup force,’’ said Mohammed Majah, 33, a former sergeant. ‘‘They don’t even know how to use weapons. They have great enthusiasm, but that’s not enough now,’’ he said. Senate asked for UN no-fly zone before Obama took action WASHINGTON (AP) — Some lawmakers are grousing loudly that President Barack Obama sent the nation’s military to Libya without Congress’ blessing. They’re ignoring a key fact: The Senate a month ago voted to support imposing a no-fly zone to protect civilians from attacks by Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s forces. With no objections, the Senate on March 1 backed a resolution strongly condemning ‘‘the gross and systemat- ic violations of human rights in Libya’’ and urging the U.N. Security Council to take action, ‘‘including the possible imposition of a no-fly zone over Libyan territory.’’ There was no recorded vote. It was simply approved by unanimous con- sent. No one in Washington is interpret- ing that resolution as a full-blown authorization for military action, espe- cially as the no-fly zone expanded to airstrikes on Gadhafi’s tanks and munitions sites. But the measure undercuts the congressional criticism that Obama was totally off on his own. Defense Secretary Robert Gates point- edly reminded lawmakers of that dur- ing his marathon testimony on Thurs- day. ‘‘There have been a lot of concerns expressed about the consultation with the Congress, but in its own way, the Congress consulted with the president, and particularly this body that unani- mously in a resolution called for the imposition of a no-fly zone,’’ Gates told the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee. Deal could be close on budget cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — A bullish President Barack Obama said Friday that compromise is close with Republicans on $33 bil- lion in budget cuts, and he warned that without a deal the ensuing government shutdown would ‘‘jeopardize our economic recov- ery’’ just as jobs are finally being created. Despite his assessment, negotia- tors reported little progress, Senate Democrats backtracked on a key concession from earlier in the week and Congress’ top Republican sounded less optimistic than the president that a breakthrough was imminent.
