Joseph Massino, 60, and three other ranking members of the Bonanno family were named in a federal indictment charging them with murder, racketeering and other crimes spanning two decades. The murders included the previously unsolved slaying of Dominick "Sonny Black" Napolitano in the Brasco case. Prosecutors said in court papers that until his arrest Thursday morning, Massino had been the only "official boss" of New York's five Mafia families who was not behind bars. If convicted, Massino would face life in prison. He was awaiting arraignment in federal court in Brooklyn. Defense attorney Matthew Mari said his client "has no knowledge of the crimes charged."

"Anything less is not cooperation and will constitute further material breach," Negroponte said, using diplomatic language that could pave the way for war. The United States, backed by Britain, has threatened military action against Iraq if it does not comply with the United Nations. Weapons inspections resumed Nov. 27 under a toughened U.N. resolution that, among other measures, allows inspectors to interview Iraqi scientists in private or even abroad, in a bid to encourage them to expose hidden programs. ElBaradei complained Thursday that inspectors haven't been able to talk to scientists without Iraqi officials being present. "That does not show the proactive cooperation we seek," he said. Blix said the Iraqis had failed to provide his office with a complete list of scientists he wanted interviewed. "We do not feel that the Iraqi side has made a serious effort to respond to the request that we made. The lists do not even comprise all those who have been previously listed," in past declarations, Blix said. The inspectors noted inconsistencies throughout Iraq's declaration, in areas ranging from the fate of VX nerve gas it produced to the production and destruction of anthrax. Crime Boss Gets Murder Charge NEW " -. months. For much of the Security Council, evidence of clandestine Iraqi weapons programs would be crucial for support of any military action and members left Thursday's briefing determined to give inspectors the time they needed to get the job done. "We're asking the inspectors to step up the intensity of what they're doing. But they've got to do it professionally, and they need time," British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock told reporters. German Ambassador Gunter Pleuger went a step further, saying he saw "no grounds for military action." In a sharply-wordeassessment, Blix said Iraq's was "rich in vol12,000-pag- e declaration weapons ume but poor in new information," and he told the council bluntly that "Iraq must present credible evidence," to support claims that it long ago dismantled illicit weapons programs. "The absence of a smoking gun and the prompt access which we have had so far...is no guarantee that prohibited stocks or activities could not exist at other sites, whether above ground, underground or in mobile units," Blix told the council. U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte said cooperation needed to be about more than just "opening doors" and he said it was time for Baghdad to admit UNITED NATIONS U.N. weapons inspectors said Thursday there's no "smoking gun" to prove Iraq has nuclear, chemical or biological weapons but they demanded that Baghdad provide private access to scientists and fresh evidence to back claims that it destroyed its weapons of mass destruction. The Bush administration warned that Saddam Hussein is hiding evidence and will face serious consequences if he doesn't disarm. "We know for a fact that there are weapons there," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said in Washington. Briefing the Security Council ahead of their trip to Baghdad next week, Hans Blix, chief of the U.N. Monitoring. Verification and Inspection Commission, and Mohamcd ElBaradei of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said they were investigating illegal Iraqi imports of parts for its missile program and the fate of 32 tons of HMX high explosive that Iraq says was used for industrial purposes but which can also be used to detonate nuclear weapons. Blix and ElBaradei said their teams need more time and more intelligence from U.N. members to help aid them in a search which has already taken inspectors to more than 300 sites in the past two SALT LAKE " y. " Richardson to Be SINGAPORE Authorities foiled an attack in Singapore's American School when they arrested 31 suspected Islamic militants, the government said Thursday in a report on terrorism. Singapore's government said the Southeast Asian Islamic group Jemaah Islamiyah planned the attack for late 2001. The group is linked to al Qaeda and has been implicated in the Oct. 12 bombings on Indonesia's Bali island that killed almost 200 people, mostly Australians. The government has previously accused Jemaah Islamiyah of planning truck bomb attacks on the U.S., Australian and British embassies and other targets in the but this is the first time it has accused it of targeting the American School. The report said local Jemaah Islamiyah leaders instructed members to conduct reconnaissance of the school, which has close to 3,000 students, mostly children of American expatriates. WASHINGTON New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a former U.N. ambassador, became a surprise intermediary city-stat- e, Go-Betwe- en between the United States and North Korea, agreeing to a meeting with a Pyongyang envoy Thursday night in Santa Fe. "I want to be able to help my country," said Richardson, who was sworn in Jan. as governor. He had visited North Korea on two diplomatic missions while he was still a member of Congress during the 1990s. The initiative for Thursday night's meeting was taken by North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador, Han Song Ryol. It came as the United States was awaiting a response from Pyongyang to meetings held Monday and Tuesday among U.S., South Korean and Japanese otficials on the North Korean nuclear situation. The United States offered in a joint statement to hold talks with North Korea on the dispute over its resumption of a nuclear weapons program. 1 The Hinckley Institute of Politics will host the panel, "2002 Elections: The Nation!
