Police backed by civilian volunteers solidified control of the capital after several nights of looting and gunfire, but the conflict between the parliaments raised troubling questions over the future governance of the former Soviet republic of 5 million people. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, of which Kyrgyzstan is a member, was sending legal experts in an attempt to unravel the confusion. BEMIDJI, Minn.—English teacher Neva Rogers finally had found a place where she felt needed, where she could give opportunities to poverty-stricken children who struggled with teen pregnancies, drugs and alcohol. That place was Red Lake High School, where she died in a school shooting last week. While students crouched under their desks in a corner, Rogers stood out in the open and began to pray. "God be with us. God help us," 15year-old Ashley Lajeunesse heard Rogers say after she told students to hide as gunman Jeff Weise fired through a window and marched into the room. "He walked up to that teacher with the shotgun, and he pulled the trigger, but it didn't fire," said Chongai'la Morris, 14. Abbas criticizes U.S. for settlement support JERUSALEM—The Palestinian leader criticized Israel and indirectly the United States over Jewish settlements Sunday, and Israel's defense minister warned he would send troops into Gaza to seize Palestinian anti-aircraft missiles—the latest threats to efforts to expand a truce into lasting peace. Incensed over a repeat of U.S. support for Israel retaining main settlement blocs in the West Bank in a peace deal, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas did not name the United States, but his target was clear. "Any talk of settlements that is not a discussion of stopping them is unacceptable," Abbas said. The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank D-News employees sue over Jeep crash SALT LAKE CITY— Three Deseret Morning News employees injured when a Jeep Cherokee careened out of control in downtown Salt Lake are suing car maker DaimlerChrysler Corp. over an alleged design flaw. Chuck Wing, Gary McKellar and Keith Johnson filed suit in 3rd District Court Friday claiming Daimler Chrysler Corp. sold the vehicle de- spite knowing of cases in which Jeep Grand Cherokees suddenly accelerated out of control. Wing and McKellar were pinned against a wall by a 2003 Jeep Cherokee driven by 75-yearold Hossein Sepehri-Nik on Feb. 24, 2004 outside the Deseret Morning News building on Regent Street. Sepehri-Nik also is named as a defendant in the case. Avalanche survivors beaten, but undeterred SALT LAKE CITY— Even as they recovered from grisly injuries Saturday morning, the three men who survived an avalanche near Kessler Peak in Big Cottonwood Canyon on Friday vowed to return to their backcountry playground. It's proof that winter thrill-seekers will risk nearly everything to tell nervy tales of outdoor machismo. Though next time, Bruce Meisenheimer—one of the trio— said he would "assess things...more closely." "I'm feeling pretty beat up," Meisenheimer said less than 24 hours after he and two friends were buried waist-deep.

Terri Schiavo's parents end legal battle VATICAN CITY—Pope John Paul II delivered an Easter Sunday blessing to tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square, but the ailing pontiff was unable to speak and managed only to greet the saddened crowd with a sign of the cross, bringing tears to many. Aides had readied a microphone, and the pope tried to utter a few words from his studio window overlooking the square. But after making a few sounds, he just blessed the crowd with his hand and the microphone was taken away. Vatican watchers had been anxiously awaiting John Paul's appearance for signs of how the 84-yearold pontiff was faring after Feb. 24 surgery to insert a tube in his throat to help him breathe. Al-Qaida releases video showing alleged killing of Iraqi official BAGHDAD, Iraq—Al-Qaida in Iraq released a video Sunday claiming to show the murder of an Interior Ministry official, while debate raged about religion's place in Iraq's much-anticipated new government as lawmakers were summoned to their second session. As frustration grows over the-slow progress in forming a new government two months after historic elections, guards fired on government workers demanding their wages in Baghdad, injuring three people. Supporters of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi criticized the involvement of the religious authority in politics, while Abdel-Azizal-Hakim, leader of the Shiite-Ied United Iraqi Alliance, defended the role of the clergy. Secular-minded politicians have expressed concern about the influence of religion in the National Assembly. PINELLAS PARK, Fla.—Their hopes fading and legal options exhausted, Terri Schiavo's parents appeared quietly resigned Sunday to watching her die but could claim one Easter victory: The severely brain-damaged woman received a drop of communion wine on her tongue—her only sustenance in nine days—after her husband allowed her to receive the sacrament. Outside the hospice where Schiavo is being cared for, five protesters were arrested, and about a half-dozen people in wheelchairs got out of them and lay in the driveway, shouting "We're not dead yet!" Schiavo's husband, who a day earlier denied a request from his wife's parents that she be given communion, granted permission Sunday to offer the sacrament. The Rev. Thaddeus Malanowski said he gave Schiavo wine but could not give her a fleck of communion bread because her tongue was dry. Lebanese pres pledges to end violence BEIRUT, Lebanon—Pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud pledged on Sunday to fight the violence gripping his country after three bombings in eight days raised fears of renewed sectarian bloodshed, while Syria withdrew more troops frpm Lebanon in line with international demands. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and a senior U.S. envoy condemned the attacks. Syrian troops, meanwhile, continued dismantling positions in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley on Sunday and headed home—a key demand of the United States, United Nations and the Lebanese opposition. Some 35 military trucks loaded with soldiers, equipment, ammunition and towing anti-aircraft guns entered Syria at the Masnaa border crossing late Sunday. Driver in fatal crash suspected of DUI SALT LAKE CITY—A Salt Lake City man had a blood-alcohol level nearly double the legal limit when he crashed a car Saturday into a rock wall off Interstate 80, killing a 27year-old man, officials said." Orlando Lagunas-Hernandez, 28, was booked into the Tooele County Jail on suspi- cion of automobile homicide, a felony, after he was treated and released from Mountain West Medical Center.
