(AP) — An armed Iraq War veteran suspect- ed of killing a Mount Rainier National Park ranger managed to evade snowshoe-wearing SWAT teams and dogs on his trail for nearly a day. He couldn't, however, escape chest-deep snow.

Barnes is believed to have fled to the remote park on Sunday to hide after an earlier shooting at a New Year's house party near Seattle that wounded four, two critically. Authorities suspect he shot ranger Margaret Anderson later Sunday. SWAT teams more used to urban standoffs trekked deep into the backcountry, unfamiliar territory for them. ''We have SWAT team members with snowshoes on the side of a moun- tain,'' Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said. ''This has never happened before.''

''It is the race you make it,'' an upset- minded Rick Santorum told voters soon to pick a winner. Santorum drew large crowds as he hustled through five events; the six-person field had 23 combined. That and the $13 million or more already spent on televi- sion commercials was evidence enough of the outsized importance Iowa holds in the race to pick a Republican oppo- nent for President Barack Obama next fall.

''The last three years have been a detour. They're not our destiny,'' said the for- mer Massachusetts gov- ernor, who is making his second try for the nomi- nation and has been at or near the top of the Iowa polls since the campaign began. Texas Rep. Ron Paul flew into the state accompanied by his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, and urged support- ers to ''send a message tomorrow night that echoes not just around Iowa but ... around the world.'' Many in the audience of about 300 chanted ''end the Fed,'' a reference to the Texan's pledge to abol- ish the nation's central bank as a first step FINDERS KEEPERS Thrift & Antiques 10% OFF All Clothing (excluding consignment) expires 1/15/12 In the Frontier Village Shopping Center Tue-Sat: 10am-5pm 645 Antelope Blvd. 530 527-7798 toward repairing the economy.

Arab League: Syrian tanks pull away from cities BEIRUT (AP) — Syri- an security forces are still killing anti-government protesters despite the presence of foreign moni- tors in the country, the head of the Arab League said Monday.

Syria's opposition cautioned the observers not to be taken in by President Bashar Assad's government, which has unleashed a withering military assault to crush a 9- month-old uprising. Opposition groups have been deeply critical of the mission, saying it is simply giving Assad cover for his crackdown. ''The Arab League has fallen victim to the regime's typical traps, in which observers have no choice but to witness regime-staged events, and move about the country only with the full knowl- edge of the regime,'' said a statement by the Local Coordinating Commit- tees, an umbrella group of activists. ''This has rendered the observers unable to work or move independently or in a neutral manner,'' the group said. The U.N. estimates more than 5,000 people have been killed since the revolt erupted in mid- March. Activists say that in the week since the observers started their work in Syria on Dec. 27, hundreds have been slain. The LCC put the death toll at more than 390 peo- ple since Dec. 21. Man under arrest in connection with LA arson spree LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities arrested a man Monday in connec- tion with dozens of sus- pected arson fires that destroyed parked cars, scorched buildings and rattled much of the nation's second-largest city over the New Year's weekend. The suspect resem- bled a ''person of inter- est'' captured on sur- veillance video near a carport. The man, believed to be 20 to 30 years old, had a reced- ing hairline and a shoul- der-length ponytail and was seen emerging from an underground parking garage on Hollywood Boulevard where a car fire was reported. He was stopped early Monday in a van that matched a description given by witnesses. Police declined to identify the suspect, but said he was to be booked later on arson charges arising from more than 50 blazes that have flared since Friday in Hollywood, neigh- boring West Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley. Firefighters have not responded to any other suspicious fires since the man was detained, Capt. Jamie Moore said. One-third of states may miss truck driver rules deadline JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Stuck in a financial pothole, Mis- souri's highway depart- ment has been selling equipment and eliminat- ing employees to scrounge up enough money to repair its roads. Unless it also changes state law, it could lose tens of millions of federal highway dollars as a penalty for not adopting new safety requirements for commercial truck dri- vers.
