4B – Daily News – Saturday, September 11, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING Blast killed at least 4 near SF SAN BRUNO (AP) — Investigators searched the smoldering rubble of a quiet, middle-class neighborhood tucked into the hills overlook- ing San Francisco on Friday, looking for answers to why a gas line ruptured and fed a giant fireball that killed at least four people. Firefighters finally con- tained the fire Friday after- noon, but at least a quarter of the 15 acres of charred homes were still too hot to search. Crews with dogs went house to house and officials said there could be more casualties from the Thursday evening blast. Homes were left with just chimneys standing and smoke still rose from the burned-out wreckage. ‘‘It was pretty devastating,’’ said San Bruno Fire Chief Dennis Haag. ‘‘It looks like a moonscape in some areas.’’ Eight investigators were at the scene Friday and police blocked people from approach- ing the burned area. ‘‘Until we can determine what caused that, we are pro- tecting that like a crime scene, looking for evidentiary value items,’’ said San Bruno Police Chief Neil Telford. programs were helping, but ‘‘the hole the recession left was huge and progress has been painfully slow.’’ Noting the stubbornly high jobless rate, Obama acknowl- edged that many voters in the Nov. 2 midterm elections proba- bly will blame him for econom- ic hard times and could take it out on congressional Democ- rats. He said that ‘‘since I’m the president and Democrats have controlled the House and the Senate, it’s understandable that people are saying, you know, ’What have you done?’’’ Obama: voters may blame him in elections WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing big Democratic losses in November, President Barack Obama blamed Republicans and election-year politics Friday for thwarting his efforts to do more to spur a listless national econo- my. He challenged Congress to quit squabbling and quickly approve ‘‘what we all agree on’’ — a reprieve for expiring tax cuts for the middle class. ‘‘Let’s work on that. Let’s do it,’’ he told a nationally broad- cast White House news confer- ence, his first since last May. Obama said his economic 9/11 anniversary politicized by mosque, pastor NEW YORK (AP) — For almost a decade, the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was marked by somber reflection and a call to unity, devoid of poli- tics. Not this time. This year’s commemoration of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pa., promises to be the most political and con- tentious ever because of a pro- posed Islamic center and mosque near ground zero and a Florida pastor’s plan to burn the Quran — and the debate those issues have engendered over religious free- dom. As in other years, official cere- monies are planned at the three locations the terrorists struck. President Barack Obama will attend a commemoration at the Pentagon, while Vice President Joe Biden will go to ground zero. First lady Michelle Obama and former first lady Laura Bush will travel to Shanksville to observe the ninth anniversary there. Obama told a White House news conference that Sept. 11 would be ‘‘an excellent time’’ for the country to reflect on the fact that there are millions of Muslims who are American citizens, that they also are fighting in U.S. uni- forms in Afghanistan, and ‘‘we don’t differentiate between ’them’ and ’us.’ It’s just ’us.’’’ He said a plan by Terry Jones, the pastor of a small, independent church in Gainesville, Fla., to mark 9/11 by burning copies of the Quran must be taken seriously because it could cause ‘‘profound damage’’ to U.S. troops and inter- ests around the world. Iran postpones the release of American TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran on Friday postponed the planned release of an American woman jailed along with two friends for more than a year, state media reported, dealing a blow to the hopes of three U.S. mothers who have pleaded for the trio’s release. Iranian officials had said that Sarah Shourd, who was detained with her friends near Iran’s border with Iraq, would be released on Saturday. But the IRNA state news agency quoted the deputy chief of communication for the Iranian president’s office, Mohammed Hassan Salilhi- maram, as saying that would not happen. He said details of the decision would be announced later, but Tehran’s chief prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, blamed the fact that ‘‘judicial procedures have not been done,’’ according to the semiofficial ILNA news agency. It was the latest in a series of mixed messages from Tehran in a case that has deepened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, a rela- tionship already strained over Washington’s suspicions that Tehran is trying to manufacture nuclear weapons — something Iran denies. Shourd and two friends, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, were arrest- ed along the Iran-Iraq border in July 2009, and Tehran has accused them of illegally crossing the bor- der and spying. Their families say they were hiking in Iraq’s scenic north and that if they crossed the border, they did so unwittingly.
