Rumsfeld said Thursday. Rumsfeld spoke a day after saying he was unaware of anyone in the Bush administration discussing closing the prison in Cuba. Hours later, President Bush refused to rule out shutting the facility, saying his administration was "exploring all alternatives" for detaining the prisoners. Human rights groups and former detainees say prisoners at Guantanamo have been mistreated. The Pentagon said last week that some U.S. personnel fhere mishandled prisoners' copies of the Quran, the Muslim holy book. \ U.S. officials are waiting until Iraqi and Afghan authorities have the ability to deal with dangerous prisoners before handing over detainees from those nations, Rumsfeld said Thursday at a hews conference during a NATO defense ministers' meeting. "Our desire is not to have these people—Our goal is to have them in the hands of the countries of origin, for the most part," Rumsfeld said. ; California town with | 'vibrant' Pakistani : community shaken by terrorism arrests • LODI, Calif.—For nearly a century, Pakistanis have been a part of this farmIng town. Today, they account for about 2,500 of Lodi's more than 62,000 residents. Pakistan's Independence Day—Aug. 14—is celebrated just like the Fourth of July. ', And when the nation came together to heal after Sept. n, Islamic leaders in Lodi joined rabbis and priests and pastors in signing a "declaration of peace." J So it's no wonder that a terrorism investigation leading to the arrests of a father and son has shaken Lodi to its core. Keith Slotter, head of the FBI's central California office, alleges several people committed to al-Qaida have been operating in and around the tranquil wine-growing region just south of Sacramento. I "We don't want the new slogan to be, 'Come to Lodi and taste our wines and meet our terrorists,"' said Mayor John Beckman, describing Pakistani-Americans as "a very vibrant, healthy part of the community." .! Authorities say Hamid Hayat, 22, returned last year after training in an alQaida terrorist camp and planned to attack hospitals and supermarkets in the United States. His father, Umer Hayat, is alleged to have paid for his son's training at a clandestine Pakistani camp. Both are charged with lying to investigators. '. Three local Muslims, including two imams, also have been detained on immigration violations. SEOUL, South Korea—South Korea's president embarked Thursday on a one-day whirlwind trip to Washington to forge a united front with President Bush on dealing with North Korea, after Pyongyang dealt another setback to reconciliation with new nuclear boasts. Based on the North's bold claims, Japan said Thursday it believed the communist nation's nuclear weapons programs were "considerably advanced." However, the Japanese Defense Agency's administrative deputy director, Takemasa Moriya, acknowledged that Tokyo's assessment relied on Pyongyang's actions and announcements, not hard evidence. U.S. officials expressed optimism earlier this week after meetings with North Korean diplomats in New York that long-stalled nuclear disarma- Bush administration flip-flops view on U.N. nuclear agency head ment talks would resume. But the North did not give any date for its return to the six-nation negotiations—which also include China, Japan, Russia and South Korea—and has reverted to its usual bombast in recent days. North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Gye Gwan told ABC News in Pyongyang that the communist nation had "enough nuclear bombs to defend against a U.S. attack" without being more specific, and he said it was building more. Kim also hinted his country's weapons scientists could mount nuclear warheads on missiles. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Thursday that Pyongyang's claims to have built more bombs "only further isolate North Korea from the international community." WASHINGTON—Reversing course, the Bush administration said Thursday it was prepared to support a third term for the head of the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency. Last December, the administration called on Mohamed ElBaradei to step down after his term ended this summer. Differences over Iran and also Iraq, where ElBaradei supported extended weapons inspections, were behind U.S. dissatisfaction. But State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Thursday that if other nations on the IAEA's board voted this summer for a third term for ElBaradei, the United States was prepared to join the consensus. The announcement followed a halfhour meeting between ElBaradei and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. They agreed on the urgency of halting the spread of nuclear weapons technology and that the agency's focus should be placed on suspicious Iranian actions, McCormack said Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has opposed a third term for ElBaradei, and Rice agrees that "the two-term rule is an important principle" within the U.N., McCormack said "It leads to a healthy U.N. system." But, he said, ElBaradei and agency officials assigned to overseeing Iran "are working in a serious way." Civil liberties groups sue to overturn Utah's porn-blocking law SALT LAKE CITY—A Utah law forcing Internet service providers to offer filters that block pornographic Web sites was challenged in federal court Thursday by critics who said it was no different than laws struck down as unconstitutional and impractical in nine other states. The problem is that many Web sites deemed harmful to minors share the same computer servers and Internet protocol addresses as unrelated and innocent Web sites, and blocking one site can block them all, they said. Lawyers said Utah's statute was worse than Italian woman released after being held hostage in Afghanistan for more than three weeks KABUL, Afghanistan—An Italian aid worker kidnapped at gunpoint in the Afghan capital three weeks ago has been released and has telephoned her mother to say she is safe and healthy, the government said Thursday. Clementina Cantoni, 32, was abducted by armed men on May 16. She was working for CARE International on a project helping Afghan widows and their families. " "Yes, she has been released. She is at the Ministry of Interior. She has spoken with her mother by phone," Interior Ministry spokesman Latfullah Mashal told The Associated Press. "I am happy to say that Clementina is well...She is in good health given the 24 day ordeal she went through," Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali said later at a news conference. Jalali said no ransom was paid or other concessions given to obtain her freedom. Her release was met with euphoria in Italy. "She's Free! She's Free!" shouted a family friend Marco Formigoni, who was with Cantoni's parents in Milan when they received the news, the Sky TG 24 television network reported. The kidnapping was the latest in a spate of violence that has shaken Afghanistan and raised fears that militants here were copying the tactics of those in Iraq. Aruba arrests three in case of missing Alabama student ORANJESTAD, Aruba—Aruban police arrested three young men Thursday who acknowledged giving a ride to an Alabama teenager the night she disappeared on this Dutch Caribbean island, officials said. One of those detained—a Dutch teenager—met Natalee Holloway at a hotel casino two days before the 18-year-old honors student was last seen, Aruban Police Commander Jahn van der Straaten told reporters. The three, described by authorities earlier as witnesses and "persons of interest," had been released last week after being questioned about Holloway. They told police they dropped off Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., at her hotel in the early hours of May 30, but Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record her return. Police also impounded a gray Honda car. Holloway's friends reported last seeing her leave a nightclub in a silver car. "The three people have been arrested as suspects," chief government spokesman Ruben Trapenberg told The Associated Press. He did not elaborate. some laws already knocked down elsewhere because it provides no way for Web hosts to appeal judgments made by Utah's attorney general office about what constitutes a pornographic site. Under the law signed by Gov. Jon Huntsman in March, state lawyers planned to go to work July 1, continually trolling the Internet for ever-changing Web sites considered pornographic and updating a blacklist that ISPs must incorporate in softwarefiltersfor customers. Because the Internet heeds no borders, critics said Utah was setting out to violate the power vested in Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Bolivian lawmakers gather to name president; armed forces pledge to safeguard democracy In Bolivia's tightly guarded historic capital of Sucre, the lawmakers were to open an emergency session of Congress to name a replacement for the U.S.-backed Mesa, who resigned Monday after weeks of violent street protests. They were widely expected to name Senate leader Hormando Vaca Diez, a conservative lawyer and landowner who is next in line to assume the presidency. The protesters have vowed to drive Vaca Diez from office if he assumes the presidency. "We are going to respect the decisions of Congress because we are making a serene call for all actors in this conflict...to arrive at a real solution," Granados said. "As long as there is no break in the constitutional and democratic system, we will continue to safeguard this entire process." LA PAZ, Bolivia—The chief of Bolivia's armed forces warned Thursday that the military could intervene in a grave political crisis as lawmakers gathered to name a new president. Meanwhile, the near month-long crisis claimed its first life when a protesting miner was killed in the country's south. Navy Adm. Luis Aranda Granados went on national television to urge the lawmakers to remain within the bounds of the constitution and hear the "will of the people" in their work to choose a new leader. But he rejected an assessment by outgoing President Carlos Mesa that the country was on the brink of a civil war. "Ifs evident that there does exist ariskof confrontation between Bolivians, but I would say the term 'civil war* is too extreme," Granados said "Confrontation between Bolivians is the greatest risk."
