As a result, he said, the Taliban and al Qaeda arc dispersing what's left of their forces "to save them." Stufflebeem also cast doubt on the possibility of ending the air campaign before winter. "We don't think that's realistic," he said. U.S. officials have said repeatedly through 17 days of bombing in Afghanistan that care is taken to avoid striking targets that may result in inadvertent civilian casualties. But Tuesday the Pentagon acknowledged two instances over the weekend in which errant bombs apparently hit civilian areas. On Sunday morning, Afghanistan time, a Navy 4 bombs that Tomcat dropped two mistakenly hit a residential area northwest of Kabul, the Afghan capital, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke told a news conference. The intended targets were military vehicles mile away.

They gave up without a fight just before 10 a.m., a Carbon County dispatcher said. Kelly Carter, 27, and Brad Gross, also in his 20s, were shot to death Sunday evening as they hunted in Dutch John Draw at the southern tip of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The men were from the Vernal-Naple- s area of eastern Utah. Their bodies were discovered by another member of the hunting party. a Oly Doubts Come From IOC Official LONDON For the first time, a senior Olympic official questioned Tuesday whether the Winter Games should go ahead in Salt Lake City while the United States is at war in Afghanistan. But the International Olympic that the games would go on as planned in February, saying that only "World War III" could lead to a possible Committee WEATHER change. Gerhard Hcibcrg, an IOC member from Norway, became the first IOC official to suggest publicly that the games might not take place in light of the Sept. n terrorist attacks. "A country at war can't organize the Olympic Games," Heiberg was quoted as saying in the Norwegian evening paper Aftcnpostcn. 4933 WEDNESDAY: reiterated c UNIVERSITY Did You Know...

The intended target was a vehicle storage building at an army barracks approximately 300 feet from the facility. Preliminary indications are that the weapon's guidance system malfunctioned, she said. Clarke said she was not certain whether the second incident corresponded to one reported by the United Nations, which said U.S. bombs hit a military hospital near Herat. The Taliban had said a strike Monday hit a Herat hospital and killed at least 100 people. U.N. spokeswoman Stephanie Bunker said it was not clear whether the military hospital was in use and she had no information on casualties. "As we always say, we regret any loss of civilian life," she said. "U.S. forces are intentionally striking only military and terrorist targets. We take great care in our targeting process to avoid civilian casualties." Anthrax Found in Justice Dept Asks Screening Facility Public for Help WASHINGTON Anthrax was dise mail screening covered in an for the House White Tuesday facility and separately confirmed as the cause of death for two postal workers in the nation's capital, the latest biotcrrorism victims. In addition, a mail handler in and two more postal workers in Washington were believed to be suffering from the disease. "We need to treat and to treat quickly," said Dr. Ivan Walks, the senior health official in the District of Columbia, adding that anthrax had off-sit- New-Jerse- been confirmed inside the central Brentwood mail facility that serves the city. Antibiotics were being dispensed to postal workers across Washington as officials began testing local post offices. At the White House, spokesman Ari Fleischer said a mail screening facility located at a military installation was also closed for anthrax testing and decontamination. Fleischer said that all environmental tests at the White House itself have come back negative. anti-Israe- li The envelope that contained the New York Post letter was written in the same sort of block letters, slanted to the right, as two envelopes addressed to Brokaw and Senate Leader Tom Daschle, Majority released earlier. The letter to Daschle contained seven lines written in block letters similar to the other two. "You can not stop us. We have this anthrax. You die now. Are you afraid? Death to America. Death to Israel. Allah is great." All three letters were dated Sept. n. WORLD CD-RO- M THE HAGUE, Nethcrlands-- In hosting its Fail at 7 p.m. in Union Social 312.

Harun Aydin, 29, was arrested at Frankfurtairport on Oct 17 after his luggage, which also contained a face mask and equipment to make a detonator, was searched before he boarded a plane to Tehran. His lawyer said the bag and the equipment did not belong to Aydin. The federal prosecutor's office said it was investigating Aydin on suspicion he planned "serious acts of violence as a member of a terrorist group with an Islamic fundamentalist background." Spokeswoman Frauke Schcutcn said that "so far, no connection is discernible" between Aydin and the investigation of a Hamburg terrorist cell that included three of the suicide hijackers involved in the Sept. n attacks.

Rear Adm. John Stufflcbccm, deputy director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he has seen anecdotal evidence of such a Taliban tactic, which he attributed to their realization that troops in the field or at military installations arc vulnerable to attacks by American warplancs. U.S. airstrikes continued Tuesday with about the same intensity as the previous day, in which e strike aircraft, to about 6o carrier-base- d strike aircraft bombers and to hit it planned target areas, officials said. Air Force fighters entered the fray for the first time Monday, a senior defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. A pair of equipped with advanced naviand targeting systems that enable precigation sion strikes at night, flew missions from bases in the Persian Gulf. Stufflebeem said U.S. airstrikes have hit every known training camp of the al Qacda terrorist SALT LAKE As ' , a blow to prosecutors, the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal overturned the convictions Tuesday of three Bosnian Croats sentenced in one of the worst massacres of the Bosnian war. Calling the trial "critically flawed," the panel ordered the three defendants immediately released and reduced the sentences for two others. The five were convicted in January 2000 of participating in the 1993 massacres in Ahmici, where more than 100 Muslim civilians, including dozens of women and children, were killed. It was the first time since the court was created in 1993 that an appeals chamber of the U.N. tribunal threw out the convictions of a lower court and acquitted the defendants. Within hours of the ruling, two brothers and their cousin were hustled from the U.N. detention center, where they had been held for four years. noon in Union 202. m CCTC The Huntsman Cancer: Institute is hsstin 3 a Ijc-tu- rt Ex?cyV..jt C'rcctcr Stephen Prescclt at 4 p.m. In the Ecc!ss Auditorium cn the sixth f.'cor. fcy ! 4 f Vf T xmi, i f tvhmti'1 M The Frhr.ds cf tle Marriott Library present Meg Credy who v.
