Four prisoners escaped U.S. base in Afghanistan pose terror threat " BAGRAM, Afghanistan—U.S. combat helicopters zigzagged over dusty plains .and troops stopped cars at roadblocks , Tuesday in a search for four suspected Arab fighters who escaped from the main U.S. military base here. There were concerns the men, who escaped at dawn Monday, may still be hiding within the sprawling, highly fortified Bagram base which houses the prison where they .were held as well as the main command center for U.S. operations in Afghanistan. Soldiers were scouring the grounds. "We can't rule out that they are hiding somewhere on base," U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Jerry O'Hara said. "The four are a dangerous threat not only to Afghans—but they are also a threat to the global war on terrorism. That is why we are taking this search very seriously." The breakout was the first from the detention facility, which is a plain-looking building of about three stories in the heart of the U.S. base. Police investigating whether four attackers died in London bombings LEEDS, England—Police are investigating whether four attackers—possibly suicide bombers—died in last week's London subway and bus explosions and have arrested one suspect after a series of raids Tuesday in Leeds, a northern city with a strong Muslim community. At least three of the suspected bombers came from the West Yorkshire region, which includes Leeds, said Peter Clarke, head of the Metropolitan Police , anti-terrorist branch. Closed-circuit TV video showed that all four had arrived at King's Cross station by 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, about 20 minutes before the blasts began that killed at least 52 people, Clarke said. Meanwhile, the BBC reported that explosives were found in a car at a rail :station in Luton, 30 miles north of London. Police said earlier they carried out 'a controlled explosion on a car that was parked at the station and believed •linked to the attacks. Metropolitan Police officers from ; London examining the car carried out the controlled explosion, Bedfordshire • police said. SALT LAKE CITY—The fire that destroyed Wasatch Junior High was caused by an unknown electrical problem, state fire investigators said Tuesday. The fire appears to have started in a computer server in a storage room off the media center, said State Fire Marshal Ron Morris. "Between fire smoke and water damage, the school is around 60 percent destroyed," Utah Fire Authority Capt. Gaylord Scott added. Scott said investigators found nothing to contradict information from the school's principal, who along with another man, had tried to extinguish the flames shooting from the computer server about 12:30 p.m. Monday. Granite School District officials were meeting 1\iesday to begin dis. cussions about where to hold classes for the schools 850 students when the school year begins Aug. 29. Scott said the district was also "making preparations to secure the building," and had yet to decide if teachers and administrators could be let inside to try to recover any belongings. Determining whether the building A firefighter drags hose across the grass as flames pour out the windows of Wasatch Junior High School on Monday. is a "complete loss" is also up to the district and its insurance company, Morris said Firefighters monitored the smoldering remains of the school through the night,finallyleaving the facility about 1 p.m. Tuesday, Scott said Battling the six-alarm blaze was hampered by water problems both by the amount of water available and with the water pressure, Scott said The normal water pressure firefighters get from hydrants is 1,500 to 2,000 gallons per minute, Scott said At one point Monday somefirefighterswere getting less than 700 gallons per minute, he said Scott said that while new fire hydrants are connected with an 8- to 10-inch water main, the hydrants surrounding the school were all fed by 4- to 6-inch mains. Fire erupts in busy Costa Rican hospital; at least 18 dead SAN JOSE, Costa Rica—A pre-dawn fire swept the top floors of a hospital in Costa Rica's capital Tuesday, killing at least 18 people as it engulfed the central staircase of a building without adequate fire exits or a sprinkler system. Medical personnel smashed their way through windows as they tried to help patients escape, while some of the sick fled on their own. People could be seen on live television climbing onto ledges of the five-story building or tying bed sheets to window frames to lower themselves to safety. One of the victims was identified as nurse Patricia Fallas, 42, who was helping patients evacuate the fifth floor when she died of smoke inhalation. She was holding a lit flashlight when her body was found, Fire Chief Hector Chavez said. The fire—the second this year at the 62-yearold Calderon Guardia Hospital—raised questions about safety precautions in other medical facilities throughout the Central American country. Judge frees volunteers arrested for taking aliens to medical care TUCSON, Ariz.—A federal magistrate has freed two members of a border humanitarian group who were arrested after federal agents found three illegal immigrants in their vehicle. The volunteers said they were carrying the three men to emergency medical care. U.S. Magistrate Hector Estrada on Monday went against a federal prosecutor's recommendations to hold No More Deaths Coalition volunteers Shanti Sellz and Daniel Strauss. They are to return to court Wednesday for another hearing. "They showed human compassion to those our government degrades as less than human," said Margo Cowan, a lawyer and spokeswoman for No More Deaths. Sellz and Strauss, both 23, were arrested by Border Patrol agents Saturday. The volunteers, who are among group members offering emergency aid to illegal immigrants in the desert this summer, came across a group of nine lost, wandering migrants. Sellz and Strauss gave them food and water and cared for their blisters. ceiling fans make you feel 5 degrees cooler Do the bright thing For more easy ways to stay cool, save energy and money, visit utahpower.net. # UTAH POWER Making It happen. l '- -r- - Answers to today's puzzle are on page 7. 8be iNctif Work $hnc0 Edited by Will Shortz Crossword ACROSS 1 Purchases at nurseries and hardware stores &4 weans up, in a way 57 Burglar's take 6 "I _ _ the opinion ..." 10 Basics 58 Place for a pump 59 Spanish babies 14 °You're _ _ and don'l even know it" 15 Calamitous 60 Take notice of 16 Model Banks 62 Gardening tool 19 Capital of Samoa 20 Totally harmless 23 Not Jjust lauqh J •r •••_•rn 2 News org.
