Tuesday, August 2, 2011 – Daily News 5A WORLD BRIEFING Syrian troops resume assault on defiant city BEIRUT (AP) — Anti-government pro- testers in the Syrian city of Hama set up barri- cades and took up sticks and stones to defend themselves Monday after one of the bloodi- est days so far in the regime's campaign to quell an uprising now in its fifth month. The protesters vowed not to allow a repeat of 1982, when thousands of people were killed in Hama after President Bashar Assad's father ordered a massacre. As evening fell, resi- dents said Syrian tanks resumed intense shelling of the restive city and troops fired machine guns at wor- shippers about to head to mosques for special nighttime prayers on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Residents had just broken their daily dawn-to-dusk fast, and the shelling appeared aimed at preventing the mosque gatherings, fearing they would trig- ger large anti-govern- ment protests. It was the second day of shelling of Hama and other cities. In attacks earlier in the day, four people were killed in Hama and three more were killed in other parts of the country, res- idents and rights groups said. "It's a crime! Where is the world? Why does- n't anyone see?" cried one distraught resident through the phone, the sound of gunfire heard clearly in the back- ground. The residents, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said they were certain there were casualties, but there was no immediate word on numbers. assault case — this time based on the claim that God himself demands a change. The head of the Funda- mentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints filed a motion pur- porting to quote God as saying state District Judge Barbara Walther should "step away from this abuse of power against a religious and pure faith in the Lord." After a short recess, Female body found near dam not far from home of missing girl STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — A female's body was discovered Monday in a river less than half a mile from the home of an 11-year-old New Hampshire girl who disappeared almost a week ago, but authorities didn't immediately identi- fy it. Celina Cass was last seen in her Stewartstown home on July 25. Investi- gators who were search- ing for her found the body late Monday morning near a hydroelectric dam that spans the Connecticut River between Stewart- stown and Canaan, Vt., according to Essex Coun- ty state attorney Vincent Illuzzi in Vermont. A dive team had been searching the river, and when it surfaced, investi- gators blocked off the area and asked reporters to leave. New Hampshire authorities confirmed that a body had been found and said more informa- tion would be released later Monday. Celina, who lived with her older sister, mother and stepfather a mile from the Canadian border, was last seen at a computer around 9 p.m. and was gone the next morning, authorities said.

Deal's initial cuts too small to hurt economy WASHINGTON (AP) — The deal reached by Congress to raise the debt ceiling and cut more than $2 trillion in public spending should have only a minor impact on the economy for the next two years. Almost all the cuts would be made in 2014 or beyond. The approach heeds a warning by Feder- al Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and many pri- vate economists: Cutting too much too soon could harm the weak economic recovery.

Under the debt deal, discretionary spending, which excludes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, would be cut $21 billion in 2012 and $42 billion in 2013, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office. Combined, those cuts come to less than 1 per- cent of the nation's $14 trillion economy. The impact "should be rela- tively minor," says Brian Gardner, senior vice pres- ident at Keefe, Bruyette and Wood, an investment bank. Expert testifies polygamist had child with teen SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs made a third attempt Monday to remove the Texas judge overseeing his child sex Linda M. Fourby, LUTCF Your Red Bluff Agent Walther ruled the trial would continue under new Texas Supreme Court rules that went into effect Monday. They no longer require an immediate hearing to recuse a judge after evidence in a case has been heard. A hearing will eventually be held on Jeffs' motion, but it's unclear when. The trial continued with forensic analyst Amy Smuts, of the Human Identification Center at the University of North Texas in Fort Worth, testifying that a DNA sample collected from Jeffs had 15 major markers that matched a DNA sample taken from a girl born to a 15-year-old mother. Smuts said that made her more than 99.99 per- cent certain that Jeffs was the child's father.
