6A Daily News – Friday, September 2, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING Gadhafi says loyalist tribes are ready for battle, won't surrender TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — In a fiery broadcast from hiding, Moammar Gadhafi warned Thursday that loyal- ist tribes in his main strong- holds were armed and preparing for battle, a show of defiance hours after rebels extended a deadline for the surrender of the fugi- tive leader's hometown. The rebels, who have been moving troops toward remaining Gadhafi bastions across Libya, had shifted the deadline for the town of Sirte in hopes of avoiding the bloodshed that met their attack on Tripoli. ''We want to save our fighters and not lose a single one in battles with Gad- hafi's forces,'' said Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for the rebel leadership in the eastern city of Benghazi. ''In the end, we will get Sirte, even if we have to cut water and elec- tricity'' and let NATO pound it with airstrikes. World leaders meeting in Paris on Libya's future after Gadhafi said the NATO mil- itary operations would con- tinue as long as needed. The rebels say the advance on Sirte is going well, and that their forces have already captured one nearby city. They also say they are closing in on Gad- hafi, who came to power 42 years ago Thursday in a military coup that toppled King Idris. Leaders back new Libyan administration PARIS (AP) — World leaders lined up behind Libya's new de facto administration Thursday and a U.N.-led effort to stabilize the country after decades under Moammar Gadhafi's rule. But the struggle for Libya's future is not over and NATO's military operation will continue as long as needed to protect civilians, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said. Leaders and envoys from 60 nations and world bodies such as the United Nations and NATO met in Paris for talks with Libya's rebel- led National Transitional Council to map out Libya's future after Gad- hafi's ouster. ''We cannot afford a failed pariah state on Europe's borders,'' Cameron said. ''We will all lose if the Arab Spring gives way to a cynical winter of repression.'' There were also warn- ings about Libya's contin- ued instability, its tribal tensions and ravaged infrastructure. Post-Irene frustrations WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — Cold showers. Meals in the dark. Refrigerators full of spoiled food. No TV. No Internet. Up and down the East Coast, patience is wearing thin among the millions of people still waiting for the electricity to come back on after Hur- ricane Irene knocked out the power last weekend. ''It's like 'Little House on the Prairie' times,'' said Debbie McWeeney, who went to a Red Cross shel- ter in Warwick to pick up food and water after every- thing in her refrigerator went bad. ''Except I'm not enjoying it at all.'' With the waters reced- ing across much of the flood-stricken region, homeowners are mucking out their basements and dragging soggy furniture to the curb. But the wait for power drags on, with an estimated 1.38 million homes and businesses still without electricity, down from a peak of 9.6 million. And criticism of the utility companies is mounting. In Rhode Island, a state senator is calling for an investiga- tion, and Massachusetts' attorney general is demanding information from utilities on how they are dealing with the crisis, including how many crews are in the field and their response time. The industry has defended its efforts, noting it warned the public that a storm like Irene was bound to cause prolonged outages and pointing out that flooding and toppled trees caused severe dam- age to utility poles, substa- tions and other equipment. White House projects $1.3T budget deficit WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Thursday predicted that unemployment will remain at 9 percent next year, a gloomy scenario for Presi- dent Barack Obama's re- election campaign. The bleak figures from the Office of Management and Budget, which also pro- jected overall growth this year at just 1.7 percent, serve as further confirma- tion of a sputtering econo- my while dramatizing the challenge Obama will face in making his case for re- election. The 1.7 percent growth rate is a full percent- age point less than the administration predicted at the beginning of the year.

US military marks first month with no troop deaths in Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) — August marked the first month since the 2003 U.S.- led invasion of Iraq that no American forces have died, according to an Associated Press tally. Figures compiled by the AP show that no American forces died in Iraq in August either in combat or non- combat related situations, a significant achievement in a conflict that has claimed the lives of 4,474 American ser- vice members since it Large Ham Steak Breakfast began. All American forces are supposed to leave Iraq by December of this year, but U.S. and Iraqi officials have been discussing whether to have a long-term American military presence in the country. There have been previ- ous months during which there were no combat relat- ed deaths, but during which some people died in non- combat related situations. The numbers come on top of what had been a jump in U.S. troop deaths for the first part of this year. In June, 15 U.S. troops died in one of the biggest losses of life for American forces in Iraq in years. Trove of US documents posted to Web LONDON (AP) — Uncensored copies of WikiLeaks' massive tome of U.S. State Department cables circulated freely Thursday across the Inter- net, leaving a whole new batch of U.S. sources vul- nerable to embarrassment and potential retribution. The United States, meanwhile, denied ever cooperating with the anti- secrecy group, and blast- ed Wikileaks for allegedly threatening national secu- rity and the safety of con- fidential informants. WikiLeaks has blamed Britain's the Guardian newspaper for the breach, saying that an investiga- tive journalist had revealed the password needed to unlock the files in a book published earli- er this year. Guardian journalists countered that it was sloppy security at Julian Assange's anti- secrecy website which helped expose the cables to the world. In a 1,600-word-long editorial posted to the Internet, WikiLeaks accused the Guardian's investigative reporter David Leigh of betrayal, saying that his disclosure had jeopardized months of ''careful work'' that WikiLeaks had undertak- en to redact and publish the cables.
