NEWS SUMMARY
Date: 16 November 2004
INTERNATIONAL A3-13 U.S. Troops Confront Guerrilla Assaults in Falluja A rebel counteroffensive roiled central and northern Iraq, with guerrillas storming police stations and setting oil wells ablaze, as American troops tried to flush the remaining insurgents from the debris-strewn cityscape of Falluja. A1 An Army investigation has recommended that two dozen members of an Army Reserve unit in Iraq be punished for disobeying orders last month to deliver fuel to another base, a Pentagon official and relatives of the soldiers said. A13 A television pool report by NBC news said an American marine had shot and killed an unarmed and wounded Iraqi prisoner in a mosque in Falluja. The Iraqi was one of five wounded prisoners left in the mosque after marines had fought their way in. A12 Iran to Freeze Nuclear Program France, Britain and Germany announced that they had reached a formal agreement with Iran committing the country to freeze a critical part of its nuclear program. A3 Palestinians Meet With Rivals The new chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Mahmoud Abbas, met with militant leaders as he began trying to solve the intricate political puzzle that Yasir Arafat left at his death. A10 Sanctions Against Ivory Coast The Security Council voted unanimously to impose an immediate arms embargo on Ivory Coast and to extend sanctions to include forbidding travel and freezing assets of selected individuals in a month if a cease-fire agreement is not fully restored by then. A10 Colombia Plans New Penalties A panel of legislators plans to present President Alvaro Uribe's government with a bill that would provide harsh penalties for any right-wing paramilitary fighters found guilty of atrocities, according to people who have worked on the proposed legislation. A11 NATIONAL A16-24 Powell Will Resign; Rice Said to Be Successor Secretary of State Colin L. Powell announced his resignation, and administration officials said his successor would be Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser. Three other members of Bush's Cabinet announced their resignations: Ann M. Veneman, the secretary of agriculture; Rod Paige, the education secretary; and Spencer Abraham, the energy secretary. A1 Mr. Powell experienced triumph in 2002 with the unanimous approval of a resolution by the United Nations Security Council demanding that Iraq comply with weapons inspections or face the prospect of war. Soon, however, public anger over the war and the failure to find the weapons took their toll. A24 Former Soldiers Resist Call-Ups The Army is encountering resistance from thousands of former soldiers it is ordering back to military work -- some of whom say they have not trained, held a gun, worn a uniform or even gone for a jog in years -- complicating its efforts to fill gaps among the regular troops. A1 Two C.I.A. Officials Resign The head of the Central Intelligence Agency's clandestine service and his deputy resigned their posts, effective immediately, becoming the most significant casualties of an effort by Porter J. Goss to overhaul the agency's spying operations. A16 Texas Sentence Overturned The Supreme Court overturned a Texas death sentence while delivering its latest rebuke to the way the death penalty is being handled by judges in the state, which has executed far more people than any other in the modern era. A18 SCIENCE/HEALTH RU-486 Warning Toughened Federal drug regulators have strengthened the warning label on the abortion pill, RU-486. A24 NEW YORK/REGION B1-8 Schumer Rules Out 2006 Gubernatorial Race Senator Charles E. Schumer ruled out running for governor of New York in 2006, saying that he will instead help lead the Democratic Party's efforts to retake the Senate. That leaves the field open to Eliot Spitzer, the popular Democratic state attorney general who has been gearing up to challenge Governor Pataki should he decide to run for another term. A1 McGreevey Leaves Quietly Gov. James E. McGreevey of New Jersey submitted his letter of resignation but spent his last day in office at the governor's mansion in Princeton while business at the State House continued without him. At midnight, Senate President Richard J. Codey was to become acting governor for the 14 months left in Mr. McGreevey's term. B1 Pataki Vetoes Reform Plan Governor Pataki vetoed a bill that would have overhauled New York State's notoriously dysfunctional budget process, complaining that the bill, which many lawmakers described as their chief achievement this year, would make a flawed process even worse.
