Tuesday, March 20, 2012 – Daily News WORLD BRIEFING Confident Romney focuses on Obama SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — An increasingly confident Mitt Romney called President Barack Obama an ''economic lightweight'' Monday as the Republican presiden- tial candidate looked beyond Tuesday's Illi- nois primary to a general election showdown with the incumbent Democ- rat. Romney's chief rival — Rick Santorum — kept the focus on the GOP front-runner, argu- ing that nominating the former Massachusetts governor would deprive the party of a defining issue to use against Obama in the November election — health care. ''Obamacare,'' Santorum said, was based on ''Romneycare,'' Massa- chusetts' 2006 health care law. Courting voters in Obama's home state, Romney acknowledged that the economy was moving in the right direc- tion as hundreds of thou- sands of jobs have been created, the unemploy- ment rate has dropped and consumer confidence has jumped. Romney suggest- ed it was in spite of the president. ''The economy always comes back after a reces- sion of course,'' said Romney, previewing what could be a general elec- tion argument. ''There's never been one that we didn't recover from. The problem is this one has been deeper than it need- ed to be and a slower recovery than it should have been.'' The former venture capitalist said he's better equipped to steer the economy. Respecting People. Impacting Business Call us. And get back to work.

Motorcycle gunman kills 4 at French Jewish school TOULOUSE, France (AP) — A motorbike assailant opened fire with two handguns Monday in front of a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two young sons and a girl. One witness described him as a man chasing small children and ''looking to kill.'' One of the guns he used also had been fired in two other deadly motorbike attacks in the area that targeted para- troopers of North African and French Caribbean ori- gin, officials said. French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested one person was responsible for all the killings. A massive manhunt was under way and the terrorism alert level was raised to its highest level ever across a swath of southern France sur- rounding Toulouse. Hun- dreds of officers increased security at schools, syna- gogues and mosques around the country, and Sarkozy said 14 riot police units ''will secure the region as long as this criminal'' hasn't been caught. Monday's attack revolted France and drew strong condemnation from Israel and the United States. Sarkozy called it the worst school shooting in French history. France has seen a low drumroll of anti-Semitic incidents but no attack so deadly targeting Jews since the early 1980s. This country is particular- ly sensitive toward its Jewish community because of its World War II past of abetting Nazi occupiers in deporting Jewish citizens. Lawyer describes meeting with Afghan killings suspect FORT LEAVEN- WORTH, Kan. (AP) — The lawyer for the Army sergeant accused of slaughtering 16 Afghan civilians met with his client behind bars for the first time Monday to begin building a defense and said the soldier gave a powerfully moving account of what it is like to be on the ground in Afghanistan. Lawyer John Henry Browne said he and Robert Bales, who is being held in an isolated cell at the military prison, met for more than three hours in the morning at Fort Leavenworth. Browne, co-counsel Emma Scanlan and Bales were expected to talk again in the afternoon. ''What's going on on the ground in Afghanistan, you read about it. I read about it. But it's totally different when you hear about it from somebody who's been there,'' Browne told The Associated Press by telephone during a lunch break. ''It's just really emotional.'' Bales, 38, has not been charged yet in the March 11 shootings, which sparked protests in Afghanistan, endangered relations between the two countries and threatened to upend American policy over the decade-old war. Formal charges could be filed within a week. Browne, a Seattle attorney who defended serial killer Ted Bundy and a thief known as the ''Barefoot Bandit,'' has said he has handled three or four military cases. The defense team includes a military defense lawyer, Maj. Thomas Hurley. Violence rattles upscale area of Syrian capital BEIRUT (AP) — Syri- an rebels battled regime forces Monday in a heavily protected, upscale area of Damascus, activists said, in a sign that the country's outgunned opposition is increasingly turning to insurgent tactics. At least three people were killed in the firefight, which was the most seri- ous clash in the Syrian cap- ital since the uprising began a year ago. The bat- tle with machine guns and automatic rifles brought the country's violent con- flict to the streets of a neighborhood that houses embassies and senior gov- ernment officials.

Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observato- ry, described the clash ''as the most violent of its kind and closest to security cen- ters in Damascus since the revolution began.'' He said several ''armed groups of defectors'' came from one of the suburbs and fired a rocket-pro- pelled grenade at the house of an army brigadier gen- eral. They then entered a building where they were chased by security forces. Santorum courts conservative Christians CENTRAL, La. (AP) — When a nationally influen- tial evangelical leader gath- ered dozens of pastors at his home church to hear from a presidential candidate, he had a simple message: Rick Santorum is one of us, and your parishioners should vote for him. Nearly a hundred pastors from all over Louisiana and from as far away as Texas and Colorado accepted Family Research Council President Tony Perkins' invitation to hear a personal pitch Sunday from the for- mer Pennsylvania senator, who met with them in a pri- vate briefing before he addressed the more than 1,400 faithful who crowded into the sanctuary at Green- well Springs Baptist Church. ''What we need to do in this country is to rebuild that culture of life and rebuild that culture of mar- riage and families,'' Santo- rum said, standing in a small back room as the invited pastors gathered in an informal circle wearing handwritten name tags. ''No one else talks about social issues.'' After the briefing, Rev. Dennis Terry introduced Santorum to the congrega- tion. ''I know Rick really well, and he is the real deal,'' said Terry, whose fiery opening remarks included an insistence that America is a Christian nation. ''I'm tired of people telling us as Christians that we can't voice our beliefs or we can no longer pray in public. Listen to me: If you don't love America, if you don't like the way we do things, I got one thing to say: get out!'' Terry said. ''We don't worship Bud- dha! We don't worship Mohammed! We don't worship Allah!''
