8B Daily News – Monday, October 10, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING Cairo clashes draw military CAIRO (AP) — Mas- sive clashes raged Sunday in downtown Cairo, draw- ing Christians angry over a recent church attack, hard- line Muslims and Egyptian security forces. At least 19 people were killed and more than 150 injured in the worst sectarian violence since the uprising that oust- ed Hosni Mubarak in Feb- ruary. The violence lasted late into the night, bringing out a deployment of more than 1,000 security forces and armored vehicles to defend the state television building along the Nile, where the trouble began. The clashes spread to nearby Tahrir Square, draw- ing thousands of people to the vast plaza that served as the epicenter of the protests that ousted Mubarak. On Sunday night, they battled each other with rocks and firebombs, some tearing up pavement for ammunition and others collecting stones in boxes. At one point, an armored security van sped into the crowd, striking a half-dozen protesters and throwing some into the air. Christians blame Egypt's ruling military council for being too lenient on those behind a spate of anti-Chris- tian attacks since the ouster of Mubarak. The Coptic Christian minority makes up about 10 percent of the country of more than 80 million people. Jobs bill seeks to remedy discrimination WASHINGTON (AP) — After two years on the unemployment rolls, Selena Forte thought she'd found a temporary job at a delivery company that matched her qualifications. But Forte, a 55-year-old from Cleveland, says a recruiter for an employment agency told her she would not be considered for the job because she had been out of work too long. She had lost her job driving a bus. ''They didn't even want to hear about my experi- ence,'' said Forte. ''It didn't make sense. You're always told just go out there and get a job.'' Forte, scraping by now as a part time substitute school bus driver, is part of a growing number of unem- ployed or underemployed Americans who complain they are being screened out of job openings for the very reason they're looking for work in the first place. Some companies and job agencies prefer applicants who already have jobs, or haven't been jobless too long. She could get help from a provision in President Barack Obama's jobs bill, which would ban compa- nies with 15 or more employees from refusing to consider — or offer a job to — someone who is unem- ployed.. Veterans offer praise, criticism for Wall Street protests NEW YORK (AP) — To veterans of past social movements, the Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York and spread nationwide have been a welcome response to corporate greed and the enfeebled economy. But whether the energy of pro- testers can be tapped to transform the political cli- mate remains to be seen. ''There's a difference between an emotional out- cry and a movement,'' said Andrew Young, who worked alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a strategist during the civil rights movement and served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. ''This is an emotional outcry. The dif- ference is organization and articulation.'' The nearly four-week- old protest that began in a lower Manhattan park has taken on a semblance of organization and a coherent message has largely emerged: That ''the 99 per- cent'' who struggle daily as the economy shudders, employment stagnates and medical costs rise are suf- fering as the 1 percent who control the vast majority of the economy's wealth con- tinues to prosper. Labor unions and stu- dents joined the protest on Wednesday, swelling the ranks for a day into the •Weight Loss • Kickboxing • Muscle Tone • Boot Camps • Strength Training & Sport Specific Training J J & No Gym, No Problem!

Issa to target Justice officials WASHINGTON (AP) — A key House investiga- tor says he could send subpoenas to the Obama administration as soon as this week over weapons lost amid the Mexican drug war. House oversight com- mittee chairman Darrell Issa suggested on ''Fox News Sunday'' that Attor- ney General Eric Holder knew about the gun traf- ficking operation known as ''Fast and Furious'' earlier than he has acknowledged. Subpoe- nas could go out as soon as this week, Issa said. COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR All makes and models.
