European nations pledged more than a half-billion dollars in emergency and long-term aid, on top of at least $100 million promised earlier by the U.S. The president of the neighboring Dominican Republic said it will cost far more to finally rebuild the country: $10 billion. Help was still not reaching many victims of Tuesday's quake — choked back by transportation bottlenecks, bureaucratic confu- sion, fear of attacks on aid con- voys, the collapse of local author- ity and the sheer scale of the need. Looting spread to more parts of downtown Port-au-Prince as hundreds of young men and boys clambered up broken walls to break into shops and take what- ever they can find. Especially prized was toothpaste, which people smear under their noses to fend off the stench of decaying bodies. At a collapsed and burning shop in the market area, youths used broken bottles, machetes and razors to battle for bottles of rum and police fired shots to break up the crowd. Mass. Senate candidates battle to the wire BOSTON (AP) — Nearly one year to the day after President Barack Obama was sworn into office as an agent of change, Massachusetts Senate candidates battled to the wire Monday in an election that threatened his agen- da and reflected voters' frustra- tion with the status quo. Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown scoured the state for votes on the eve of the special election to suc- ceed the late Edward M. Kennedy, with the Democrats' 60-vote supermajority at stake. From a distance, the president made one last appeal in a TV ad for Coakley, his words reflecting how much was on the line for Democrats in the face of a sur- prisingly strong challenge by Republican Scott Brown in a state that hasn't elected a Repub- lican senator since 1972. ''Every vote matters, every voice matters,'' Obama said in the ad that showed him cam- paigning with Coakley a day ear- lier. ''We need you on Tuesday.'' Obama needs Coakley, the state's attorney general, to win to deny Republicans the ability to block his initiatives — specifical- ly the near-complete health care plan — with a filibuster-sustain- ing 41st Republican vote. A Coakley loss also would be an embarrassment, particularly because Obama has put so much political capital on the line. Taliban attacks paralyze Afghan capital for hours KABUL (AP) — Taliban mil- itants wearing explosive vests launched a brazen daylight assault Monday on the center of Kabul, with suicide bombings and gunbattles near the presiden- tial palace and other government buildings that paralyzed the city for hours. Afghan forces along with NATO advisers managed to restore order after nearly five hours of fighting as explosions and machine gunfire echoed across the mountain-rimmed city, sending terrified Afghans racing for cover. Twelve people were killed, including seven attackers, officials said. The assault by a handful of determined militants dramatized the vulnerability of the Afghan capital, undermining public con- fidence in President Hamid Karzai's government and its U.S.-led allies. The attacks also suggested that the mostly rural Taliban are prepared to strike at the heart of the Afghan state — even as the United States and its internation- al partners are rushing 37,000 reinforcements to join the eight- year war. ''We are so concerned, so dis- appointed about the security in the capital,'' said Mohammad Hussain, a 25-year-old shopkeep- er who witnessed the fighting. ''Tens of thousands of U.S. and NATO troops are being sent to Afghanistan, yet security in the capital is deteriorating.'' Worshippers urged not to 'sanitize' the legacy of MLK ATLANTA (AP) — A scholar and activist invoked the fiery side of Martin Luther King Jr.'s rhetoric Monday at the civil rights icon's church, urging the audience not to ''sanitize'' King's legacy or let the president off the hook on issues like poverty. Across the country, Ameri- cans marked what would have been King's 81st birthday with rallies and parades. And days ahead of the anniversary of his historic inauguration, President Barack Obama honored King by serving meals to the needy. But in the city where the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner was born, it was Princeton University professor Cornel West who reminded listeners that King's message of nonviolence came with a fiery urgency. West deliv- ered a passionate keynote address to hundreds at Ebenezer Baptist Church on the 25th federal obser- vance of King's birthday. West told the crowd to remember King's call to help oth- ers and not enshrine his legacy in ''some distant museum.'' Instead, West offered, King should be remembered as a vital person whose powerful message was once even considered dangerous by the FBI. ''I don't want to sanitize Mar- tin Luther King Jr.,'' said West, who teaches in Princeton's Cen- ter for African American Studies and is the author of ''Race Mat- ters'' and 19 other books. ''I don't know about you, but I don't even mention his name without shivering and shuddering.'' Turkish man who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981 released ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The Turkish man who shot Pope John Paul II nearly 29 years ago emerged from prison Monday, declared himself a messenger from God, then spent his first night of freedom in a luxury hotel room. Mehmet Ali Agca, 52, said he would talk to the media in the next few days. But it seemed doubtful that his comments would clear up uncer- tainty over whether he acted alone or had the backing of communist agents, as he once claimed. He has issued contradictory statements over the years and there are ques- tions about his mental health. Agca shot John Paul on May 13, 1981, as the pope rode in an open car in St. Peter's Square. The pontiff was hit in the abdomen, left hand and right arm. John Paul met with Agca in Italy's Rebibbia prison in 1983 and forgave him. Following his release, Agca, his hair now gray, waved to jour- nalists and sat calmly between two plainclothes policemen in the back of a sedan that took him to a military hospital. There, doctors concluded he was unfit for com- pulsory military service because of ''severe anti-social personality disorder,'' said his lawyer, Yilmaz Abosoglu. Man questioned after 5 slain BELLVILLE, Texas (AP) — Authorities working to determine what spurred a flurry of gunshots that left five people dead in south- east Texas are questioning a 20- year-old man who lived with the victims in the isolated house sur- rounded by pasture land. Police said Monday the victims of the weekend bloodshed all lived in the single-story brick home in Bellville, a town of about 4,000 people located 55 miles northwest of Houston. They included a retiree and his wife, a younger woman and man, and a girl believed to be about 3 years old, police said. Investigators were questioning a 20-year-old man, who remained jailed on burglary and attempted burglary charges after allegedly trying to break into a Bellville home. The man — arrested about 3 a.m. Sunday after a homeowner pulled a gun on him — could face capital murder charges. Prosecu- tors are reviewing the case and could bring those charges. No one else is being sought and it does not appear any other people were involved in the shootings, Sheriff DeWayne Burger said. Sgt. Paul Faircloth of the Austin County Sheriff's Office said authorities were still trying to determine a motive for the slay- ings. He said the sheriff's office received a call Sunday afternoon from a person who had gone to the home and discovered the crime scene. Deputies arrived and found four bodies inside the home. Federal judge grants stay of Nev. execution LAS VEGAS (AP) — The upcoming execution of a con- demned Nevada inmate has been stayed for a second time while he appeals to a federal court to over- turn state rulings in his case. Robert Lee McConnell, 37, had been scheduled to die Feb. 1 after pleading guilty in Washoe County District Court to the 2002 murder of Brian Pierce, 25, his ex-girlfriend's fiance. McConnell's appeal was expected after he was moved recently from the state's maxi- mum-security prison in Ely to death row at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City, state cor- rections chief Howard Skolnik said Monday. McConnell came within 34 minutes of being executed in 2005 after declaring he was ready to die then filing an appeal that won him an immediate stay. He will be moved back to Ely to await a resolution of his latest appeal — a 162-page document blaming the trial judge for letting him represent himself and chal- lenging his conviction and death sentence as fundamentally unfair. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Jones in Reno issued the stay on Friday — two days after McConnell filed his appeal on his own behalf with help from David Anthony, an assistant fed- eral public defender in Las Vegas.
