4A – Daily News – Tuesday, May 4, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING Owner of SUV in Times Square bomb sold it recently NEW YORK (AP) — The registered owner of a sport utility vehicle used in a failed bombing in Times Square over the weekend told investiga- tors he sold it to a stranger for cash three weeks ago, a law enforcement official said Monday. Investigators ques- tioned the registered owner, a Connecticut resi- dent, on Sunday about what happened to the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder used in the bombing attempt, according to the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on con- dition of anonymity because the investigation is at a sensitive stage. The registered owner was not considered a sus- pect, and police said offi- cials were still looking for the driver. The vehicle identifica- tion number on the Pathfinder had been removed from the dash- board, but it was stamped on the engine and axle. Its license plates came from a car found in a Connecti- cut repair shop. Investigators were also looking Monday to speak with a man in his 40s videotaped shedding his shirt near the sport utility vehicle where the bomb was found. Clinton, Ahmadinejad trade charges UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton engaged in a verbal nuclear exchange Monday on the U.N. stage, where nations gathered for a monthlong debate over the world’s ultimate weapons. Speaking from the podium of the General Assembly Hall, Clinton accused Iran of ‘‘flouting the rules’’ of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty with its suspect uranium enrichment program, and said it is ‘‘time for a strong international response.’’ For his part, Ahmadinejad earlier rejected such allegations, saying Washington has offered not ‘‘a single cred- ible proof.’’ They were the opening salvos in four weeks of deliberations over how to improve the NPT, formal- ly reviewed every five years in a meeting of all 189 treaty members — all the world’s nations except India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea. The review conference is meant to produce a final document pointing toward ways to better achieve the NPT’s goals of checking the spread of nuclear weapons, while working toward reducing and even- tually eliminating them.

The Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility for that bombing, and Mon- day’s attack could have been aimed at showing that the group was back in busi- ness despite months of set- backs from relentless U.S. missile strikes and a Pak- istani military offensive. The Pakistan Taliban have also claimed responsi- bility for an attempted car bombing last weekend in New York City’s Times Square — a claim that New York officials question. U.S. and Pakistani offi- cials had been confident until recently that the ruth- less, 30-year-old Mehsud had been killed in a January missile strike along the boundary between South Waziristan and North Waziristan — tribal areas along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan where Islamist militant groups operate with near impunity. A video posted on mili- tant websites and broadcast Monday by Pakistani televi- sion showed Mehsud seated between two masked, armed men, speaking in Pashto with English subti- tles. on Sale 30% off 4/19-5/10 All Jewelry ENTIRE STORE • Musical Instruments • Tools • Coins excluded Nominate a friend for Girlfriends Day and receive an additional 10% off Gold Exchange The 413 Walnut Street, Red Bluff (530) 528-8000 M-F 10am-5:30 pm Sat. 11 am-4 pm BP pledges to pay for Gulf oil cleanup VENICE, La. (AP) — BP PLC gave some assur- ance Monday to shrimpers, oil workers and scores of others that they will be paid for damage and injuries from the explosion of a drilling rig and the resulting massive oil spill in the Gulf. A fact sheet on the com- pany website says BP takes responsibility for cleaning up the spill and will pay compensation for ‘‘legiti- mate and objectively verifi- able’’ claims for property damage, personal injury and commercial losses. President Barack Obama and several attorneys gener- al have asked the company to explain what exactly that means. BP spokesman David Nicholas said the company doesn’t know how much the Remember with a Special Gift from Gayle’s at 649 Main Street Downtown Red Bluff Free Gift Wrapping Gift Certificates Mon.-Fri. 10:30 to 5:30 Sat. 11-3 40 Crafters in 1 Shop!

People like Dana Powell, manager of the Paradise Inn in Pensacola Beach, Fla., have feared what will hap- pen to the Gulf Coast’s sta- ple industries such as tourism and commercial fishing. ‘‘Now when there’s a hurricane, we know it’s going to level things, devas- tate things, be a huge mess and it’s going to take sever- al years to clean up,’’ she said. ‘‘But this? It’s going to kill the wildlife, it’s going to kill lifestyles — the shrimpers, the fishermen, tourism. Who’s going to come to an oil-covered beach?’’ Nashville braces for flooding NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville braced for more deaths Monday as the flooded Cumberland River continued to swell, sending muddy water rush- ing through neighborhoods and into parts of the historic heart of Music City after a destructive line of weekend storms killed 26 people in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky. The flash floods caught the city off-guard, and thou- sands of residents and tourists were forced to flee homes and hotels as the river rapidly spilled over its banks. Country music’s landmark, The Grand Ole Opry House, was flooded with several feet of water.
