4A – Daily News – Tuesday, May 18, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING Tube siphons some oil NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP said Monday it hopes to siphon as much as half of the oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico and is getting ready to shoot mud into a blown-out well later this week to try and stop all of it. Meanwhile, scientists said they were concerned about the ooze reaching a major ocean cur- rent that could carry it through the Florida Keys. BP PLC chief operating offi- cer Doug Suttles said at a press conference that the company will never again try to produce oil from the well, though BP did not rule out drilling elsewhere in the reservoir. ‘‘The right thing to do is per- manently plug this well, and that’s what we will do,’’ Suttles said. BP’s mile-long tube is funnel- ing a little more than 42,000 gal- lons of crude a day from the well into a tanker ship. Red Shirts offer cease-fire to end Bangkok battles BANGKOK (AP) — The Thai government said Monday it would accept a cease-fire offer from a ‘‘Red Shirt’’ protest leader if their fighters end raging street battles and return to their main camp in central Bangkok, as the death toll from five days of violence rose to 37. The offer was made by Red Shirt leader Nattawut Saikuwa, their positions. The thick smoke darkened the sky. The Red Shirts, many of whom hail from the impover- ished north and northeast, are trying to unseat Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and force immediate elections. They say the coalition government came to power through manipulation of the courts and the backing of the powerful military, and that it symbolizes a national elite indifferent to their plight. Iraq says it detained al- who called the government’s chief negotiator, Korbsak Sab- havasu, on his cell phone, Korb- sak said. It was the first direct talks between the two sides since the fighting started Thurs- day, but Korbsak said it was unlikely to achieve much as the two sides still remained far apart. Nattawut’s response was not immediately known. Calls to his phone went unanswered. Earlier, a Thai government ultimatum passed for the thou- sands of protesters — who have been camping in an upscale commercial district for more than a month in a bid to force the government from power — to vacate the barricaded protest zone by 3 p.m. or face up to two years in prison. Meanwhile, unrest flared in various parts of the downtown area outside the barricades, with troops firing live ammunition at protesters who were lighting tires to hide Qaida militant BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces have detained an al-Qaida militant suspected of planning an attack targeting the World Cup in South Africa next month, an official said Monday. Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Mous- sawi, a spokesman for Baghdad security services, said Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani was an officer in the Saudi army. He is suspected of planning a ‘‘terrorist act’’ in South Africa during the World Cup beginning June 11, al- Moussawi told a news conference in Baghdad. He said al-Qahtani entered Iraq in 2004 and is suspected in sever- al attacks in the capital and else- where in the country. In South Africa, a police spokesman said Iraq has not noti- fied them of the arrest. ‘‘We have not received any official reports from them,’’ Vish Naidoo told The Associated Press. ‘‘Whatever arrest they made there, they know, we don’t know any- thing about it.’’ Republicans, Democrats test themes for fall WASHINGTON (AP) — For all the primaries testing tea party clout and veteran senators’ ability to survive, a special House elec- tion in southwestern Pennsylvania is the multimillion-dollar battle- ground of choice Tuesday for the two political parties, previewing themes for a fall campaign shad- owed by recession and voter dis- content. Competing economic prescrip- tions, the appeal of President Barack Obama’s health care legis- lation, the Republicans’ ability to woo crossover support from inde- pendents and Democrats all are at issue, according to officials in both parties, in a race that also features a struggle for the political high ground as Washington outsider. The House race features Republican Tim Burns against Democrat Mark Critz to fill out the final few months in the term of the late Democratic Rep. John Murtha. But the two national par- ties made it something more than that when they decided several weeks ago to invest heavily — roughly $1 million apiece inde- pendent of their candidates. ‘‘This is the kind of district that the Republicans have to win if their hype is to even begin to meet the reality on the ground,’’ said Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the head of the Democratic Con- gressional Campaign Committee. He was poking at GOP boasts that the party will win the 40 seats this fall that it needs to take power in the House. ‘‘This is the fall.

US missionary freed in Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The last of 10 Ameri- cans detained while trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the Jan. 12 earthquake was freed Monday when a judge convicted her but sentenced her to time already served in jail. Laura Silsby, the organizer of the ill-fated effort to take the children to an orphanage being set up in the neighboring Dominican Republic, returned to her cell briefly to retrieve belongings before quickly head- ing to the Port-au-Prince airport. ‘‘I’m praising God,’’ Silsby told The Associated Press as she waited for a flight out of Haiti. She declined to answer further questions before clearing immi- gration and heading through a gate to catch a plane to Florida. The Idaho businesswoman had been in custody since Jan. 29. She was originally charged with kidnapping and criminal association, but those charges were dropped for her and the nine other Americans who were previously released. Silsby she was convicted of arranging ille- gal travel under a 1980 statute restricting movement out of Haiti signed by then-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier. Prosecutor Jean-Serge Joseph said she was convicted and sentenced to the 3 months and 8 days she spent behind bars.
