The assassination prompted the government to impose a nationwide state of emergency, amid fears that the volatile Balkan republic could plunge into violence in a possible power struggle for his successor. The army's top body, the Supreme Defense Council, raised the level of combat readiness and instructed the military to assist the police. The police launched a nationwide search for the ' ' assassins, setting up roadblocks and halting road, rail and plane traffic. A statement late Wednesday by the Serbian Cabinet blamed Milorad Lukovic, a warlord loyal to former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, and an underworld network known as the "Zemun clan" after a Belgrade suburb, for allegedly organizing the killing. "Their aim was to trigger fear and chaos in the country," the statement said. "The assassination-was an attempt by this group to crush the fight against organized crime and help its individual members evade arrest." Djindjic's closest aides pledged to find the killers. "By firing at Djindjic, the assassins shot at his dream for a democratic and prosperous Serbia," said Zoran Zivkovic, deputy head of Djindjic's Democratic Party. Tears in his eyes, he challenged the police to find the culprits quickly. Western leaders promptly condemned the assassination. President Bush expressed his condolences. Djindjic "will be remembered for his role in bringing democracy to Serbia and for his role in bringing Slobodan Milosevic to justice," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas- -A woman and her common-lahusband have confessed to killing three children who were found beheaded in a squalid apartment near the Mexican border, police said Wednesday. The woman's daughters, ages 3 and were found stuffed into a son garbage bag; the couple's was found on a bed. Angela Camacho, 23, and John Allen Rubio, 22, were charged early Wednesday with three counts each of capital murder, and could face the death penalty.

"We're finally here debating the most difficult, contentious social issue of our day," Sen. Sam Brownback said. "What is the legal right of a child in utero?" On that and that only, it seemed there was no debate. Lawmakers clashed repeatedly, sometimes emotionally, over legislation to ban what critics call partial birth abortions, a procedure often performed in the 20th through 26th weeks of pregnancy. "It's not medically necessary. It's not even medically recognized," Sen. Rick Santorum, said of the procedure to be banned. "This bill doesn't protect the health of women. It puts our daughters in harm's way," countered Sen. Barbara Santorum's principal Boxer, antagonist across three days of debate. Mah-mou- involved in two fatal shootings.
