Saturday, August 28, 2010 – Daily News – 7A WORLD BRIEFING Fed contractor charged with leaking top intel WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is accusing an analyst who worked at the State Department of leaking top secret informa- tion about North Korea to a reporter. It’s the latest move in an aggressive campaign to crack down on leaks, even as the administration supports pro- posed legislation that would shield reporters from having to identify their sources. Steven Kim, who worked at State as a federal contractor, is named in a federal indictment unsealed Friday. The Justice Department says he passed information about U.S. intelligence about a for- eign country to a Fox News reporter. The country is believed to be North Korea. He is pleading innocent. The administration recently arrested an Army official for leaking documents to a website and charged a former intelli- gence official with leaking information about NSA mis- management. Captive in NK reunites with Boston family BOSTON (AP) — An American held captive for seven months in North Korea stepped off a plane in his home- town Friday, looking thin but joyful as he hugged the former president who had helped win his release and family and friends surrounded him in a group embrace. Aijalon Gomes was accom- panied by former President Jimmy Carter, who had flown to Pyongyang to negotiate his freedom. Gomes, who had been teaching English in South Korea, was imprisoned and sen- tenced to eight years’ hard labor for crossing into the North from China on Jan. 25 for unknown reasons. North Korea’s state-run news agency reported last month that Gomes had attempted suicide, leading his family to ask for his release on humanitarian grounds. North Korea said this week it would release Gomes to Carter if the former president went to get him. Gomes hugged Carter and then his mother before his loved ones encircled him, praying and waving their hands skyward. One man gripped a small Amer- ican flag, and others held a ban- ner behind them that read: ‘‘Welcome home! Disciple of the Lord Aijalon Mahli Gomes. Salvation is ours.’’ The banner also pictured a Christian cross and contained biblical references to Acts, Psalms, and Job, an Old Testa- ment book about a man who survived great tribulation. 2 cars explode, prosecutor in Mexico massacre case missing REYNOSA, Mexico (AP) — Two cars exploded early Friday in a northern state where officials are investigating the killing of 72 Cen- tral and South American migrants, and a prosecutor investigating the massacre has disappeared. The prosecutor, Roberto Jaime Suarez, vanished Wednesday in the town of San Fernando, where the bodies of the migrants were found, the Tamaulipas state attor- ney general’s office said in a state- ment. A transit police officer in the town was also missing. President Felipe Calderon, speaking during a forum on secu- rity, said Suarez, a Tamaulipas state prosecutor, was involved in the initial investigation into the massacre, which authorities have blamed on the Zetas drug gang. The federal attorney general’s office has since taken the lead in the case. The two car explosions occurred less than 45 minutes apart in Ciudad Victoria, the Tamaulipas state capital, the attor- ney general’s office said. The first exploded in front of the offices of the Televisa network and the sec- ond in front of transit police offices. There were no injuries, though both blasts caused some damage to buildings and knocked out the signal of the Televisa network for several hours. The explosion out- side Televisa was felt for several blocks. ADOPT A PET TODAY TEHAMA COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER 1830 Walnut Street • P.O.
