EU rejects new bailout for eastern bloc
GThe EU said Eastern

BY CONSTANT BRAND
',Unabated areas
BRUSSELS — German
Chancellor Angela Merkel
and other EU leaders flatly
rejected a new multibillion
dollar bailout for Eastern
Europe on Sunday, suggesting
that additional aid be given to
struggling nations only on a
case-hy-case basis.
Germany and the Nether-
lands also shot down sugges-

President Nicolas Sarkozy
said the EU could look at
reviewing the stringent euro
currency membership criteria
and two-year waiting period
once the global economic cri-
sis ends.
Germany, the region's larg-
est economy, has been under
pressure to take the Lead in
rescuing eastern EU members
staggering from sinking cur-
s, shrinking demand for
exports and rising debt, but
Merkel insisted a one -size -

adding 'you cannot compare"

DHAKA, Bangladesh —

n The details of what the
prime minister called "
planned massacre" emerged
after the government with-
drew its promise of amnesty
and sought to repair its
increasingly tense relations
with the military.
One maamong just 33
officers known to have
escaped from the two-day
siege in the guards' headquar-
ters, described the scene as
"litre doomsday for me."
Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina met with military offi-
cials furious that she offered
amnesty to the mutinous bor-
der guards to persuade them
to surrender, The officers
argued that lives could have
been saved if Hasina had
ordered an army assault on
the guards' compound.
Hasina told Parliament she
had asked for help from the
FBI to investigate.
"We'll definitely unearth
everything," she said.
The government.:
announced that those directly
responsible would not fall
under the amnesty.
Firefighters have recov-:

The insurrection has
raised questions about the
stability of Hasina's two -
month -old government in the
impoverished South Asian
country, which has seen
nearly two dozen successful
and failed military coups in its
38-year history.
Hasina and the military
have a Tong history of mutual
mistrust. During Sunday's
meeting, she tried to appease
the army officials by referring
to a 1975 military coup in
which her father, Prime Min-

KABUL — President
Hamid Karzai's call to sud-
denly move up elections from
late summer to early spring
drew cries of"sabotage" Sun-
day from opponents who
know they can't win the presi-
dency if a vote is held next

In January, the commission
set the vote for Aug. 20, say-
ing an election could not be

ballot -distribution issues.
A commission member
said Sunday that August was

and that the commission was
waiting for an official letter

before reacting to his decree.

Karzai at least two options:

Noting that eastern mem-
bers were being hit the hard-
est, he suggested setting up an
EU fund of up to $241 billion
to help restore trust and sol-

PRESSURE ON THE RICH
Eight other EU nations had
joined Hungary in vowing to
pressure richer members to
backup vague pledges of sup-
port with action — Poland,
Slovakia, the Czech Republic,
Bulgaria, Romania and the
three Baltic states. But Hun-
gary's plan was quickly shot
down by Germany and others,
who balked at the costs.
EU commission President
Jose Manuel Burroso said
Eastern European countries
already were getting billions
in emergency rescue funds
and loans tram the EU, the
World Bank and other finan-
cial institutions and did not
need a new bailout plan.
He said the EU has $32 bil-
lion in reserve to help mem-
ber nations. Gyuresany
acknowledged that other EU
leaders had questioned his
plan but insisted they would
study it.
"If you are speaking about
Europe and you are facing
this type of complicated chal-
lenge, you have to respond in
way not just concentrating
n independent nations, but
some
regions as well," he
said.
Gyuresany said eastern FU
countries could need up to
$380 billion — or 30 percent
of the region's gross domestic
product — this year.
He warned that failure to
offer bigger bailouts "could
lead to massive contractions"
in astern economies and
"large-scale defaults" that
would affect Europe as a
whole because of political
unrest and immigration pres-
sures.
EU'S PROMISE
Czech Prime Minister
Mirek Topolanek, who
chaired Sunday's talks, prom-
ised that the EU would not
leave any nation "in the
lurch," Some EU nations —
notably Hungary, Poland and
the Baltic countries of Esto-
nia, Latvia and Lithuania —
had urged the bloc to con-
sider making it easier to join
the euro currency.

BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Cons blamed in
cold -case deaths
8 Two state inmates have
been charged in separate
killings that took place
years ago, the Broward
Sheriff's Office
announced.
BY DAVID SMILEY
dsmiley@MlamiHerald.rom
Nearly 20 years ago,
Claude Easton went out for a
pack of smokes and some
beer — and wound up with a
bullet in his chest Sixteen
years later, William Lee Gra-
ham was heading home from
a night of partying when
rolled up next to
him and sprayed bullets into
his ear.
Investigators came up
et pty handed for years as
theysearched for the gun -men
in the two unrelated
Broward County slayings —
until recently, when new
evidence and testimony led
them to Florida's prisons.
The Broward Sheriffs
Office announced Tuesday
that two convicts — both
already behind bars for other
offenses — were each
charged with murder.
In Easton's 1990 slaying,
Timothy Mather, a 33-year-
old already serving life in
prison at Okalaosa Correc-
tional Institution on murder
charges, has been charged
with second-degree murder.
FATAL FIGHT
Mattier, then 14, killed
Easton with a .22-caliber
firearm not far from his Fort
Lauderdale home on the
night of Feb. 18, 1990, BSO
spokeswoman Dani Mos-
chella said.
Easton was trying to stop
a fight between two teenag-
ers a third teenager,
Mattier, pulled a gun. Easton
grabbed his poeketkaife, but
Mattier shot one round into
his chest, Moschella said,
Clues in Easton's killing
had gone cold until detec-
tives learned from a confi-
dential informant that Mat -
tier had mentioned the
shooting, Moschella said.
She said detectives ques-
tioned Mattier about Eas-
ton's death last January and
he admitted to the killing,
"The only thing he said was
that he did shoot the guy in
self-defense and then he
clammed up," Moschella
said.
Investigators also
obtained new evidence it
the drive -by shooting of Wil-
liam Lee Graham last year,
when the gun used to shoot
the Deerfield Beach man was
discovered by Lake Worth
police, according to BSO.
Devon Bell, a 25-year-old
inmate currently incarcer-
ated in Cross City Connec-
tional Institution, has been
charged with the Jan. 28,
2006 shoot-
ing.
Graham
and co usin
Alex O.
Graham,
then 24, left
Joseph's 8r
Joey's Res-
aeLL taurant &
Nightclub
in Fort Lauderdale at about
3:30 a.m. and were driving
home, unaware they were
being followed by a man
whom William had argued
with earlier that night.
With Alex behind the
wheel, the cousins were on
Cypress Creek Road near
Interstate 95 when a white
car pulled up next to them.
A tinted window rolled
down and a shooter
unleashed a hail of gunfire,
missing Alex Graham brit
killing his cousin as they
tried to speed away.
Homicide detectives
hunted down leads in the
case for two years before
getting a break.
GUN MATCHED KILLING
Sometime in 2008 —
investigators wouldn't say
exactly when — they learned
Lake Worth police had
recovered a vehicle and
found a gun inside. Ballistics
tests revealed that the gun
was used in Graham's mur-
der, BSO spokeswoman
Kayla Concepcion said.
Investigators used the
gun to link Bell, of Boynton
Beach, to the murder.
They found Bell in prison,
locked up since 2007 on a
sentence related to felony
battery and attempted rob-
bery charges. His release
date is set for 2018, but he
faces first degree murder
charges in Graham's killing
and could face life in prison,
Concepcion said.

For example, when law-
makers attempted to reform
the state's property tax sys-
tem in 2007, Saunders was
one of three Democrats to
vote in favor of a Republican
proposal passing through one
of his committees.
Another issue, some said:
diversity. Like the two pre-
ceding leaders, Saunders is
white. Thurston is black.
METRO & STATE
"We have to he a team to
accomplish the things we
want to accomplish," he said.
"It wasn't a regional thing or a
racial thing. We just had dif-
ferent areas of support"
Saunders will spend the
next two years raising sup-
port for Democratic House
candidates to reduce the
GOP's 76-44 House majority.
If Democrats pick up a
majority, Saunders would
become House speaker. Oth-
erwise, he will be the lead
voice for the minority.
The previous three House
minority leaders also have
been from Dade or Broward,
On Wednesday, Senate
Democrats are expected to

MIAMI S METROMOVER
Escalator problem is looking up
SAn Investigation has
revealed why Metromover
escalators were in a
chronic state of disrepair
In Miami.
BY ALFONSO CHARDY
achnrdy(aroiamiHerald.cam
For years, riders of the
automated Metromover
linking key areas of down-
town Miami have complained
about broken escalators at
several stations.
Typically, Miami -Dade
Transit would acknowledge
the problem and duly note
that its Finland -based con-
tractor, Kone, was making
repairs.
Not exactly.
In a scathing 49-page
report issued this week,
Miami -Dade Inspector Gen-
eral Christopher Mazzella
MIAMI GARDENS
said Kone failed to properly
maintain escalators at Metro -
mover stations. He also
blamed county transit offi-
cials for failing to verify the
company's work.
The report found that
Kone company officials could
not properly account for its
work, failing to produce
inspection reports, annual
supervisory reports, physical
check charts, and detailed
engineering reports of identi-
fied damage.
County officials also got
criticized for failing to super-
vise Kone's work
Kone, the transit agency,
and the county. General Ser-
vices Administration did not
dispute the findings, but
reported to the inspector gen-
eral that the problems had
been addressed. They noted
that four escalators were
recently replaced and went
into service on Feb. 9, while
others are still being repaired.
County officials also
advised the inspector general
that they had levied $1.2 mil-
lion in "liquidated damages"
against Kone for "past non-
performance under the main-
tenance contracts," They also
pointed out that Kone did
conduct "routine" mainte-
nance, and the company said
it needed to "align" its
record -keeping with contract
requirements.
The transit agency has
blamed corrosion on the ini-
tial decision to install units
that were inadequate for
Miami's humid weather.
Transit officials and company
executives did not return
calls seeldng a comment
The inspector general
opened its investigation in
December 2007 following a
request from Miami -Dade
Commissioner Jose "Pepe"
Diaz. Ide w s concerned
about a plan to pay Kone
$800,000 to replace four
"severely corroded" Metro -
mover escalators.
The corroded escalators
were at the Park West, 10th
Street, llth Street and Brickell
stations. 050010tors that
needed repair were at the
School Board, Freedom
Tower, 8th Street, Financial
District and Omni stations.
The Montgomery Elevator
Co. originally installed the
escalators in 1993. Kone
inherited maintenance con-
tracts in 1996 when Kone
acquired Montgomery, the
report said.

Miami-Dade's Special
Response Team.
Levy barricaded himself in
the attic, police said.
According to the report,
Levy didn't follow officers
orders and "attempted to stab
an SRT officer with a knife."
Levy had two children,
ages 7 and 1, said his mother,
Marie Ascencio.
"He's a rapper, but he's not
a bad boy the way they say,"
she said. Her son didn't carry
a weapon, Ascencio said.
Family members told
Miami Herald news partner
WFOR-CBS 4 that Levy was
an aspiring rap artist who
went by the name Dollar Bill
and that he was trying to turn
his life around. They told CBS
4 that Levy was at home
doing a recording session and
that police did not have to use
deadly force.
Levy had previous arrests
in Miami -Dade and a 2000
conviction for fleeing and
eluding and aggravated
assault on a police officer or
firefighter.
Miami -Dade schools police
anted Levy for an incident
that occurred in December.
According to a police report,
Levy got into a verbal fight
with another man outside
Golden Glades Elementary.
Levy had a gun in his left
hand, waved it in the air and
pointed it at the other man,
the report said.
The other man also had a
gun and was later arrested,
the report said.
John Rivera, the president
of Miami -Dada's police union,
which is representing two of
the officers involved, said the
officers feared for their lives
Monday night.
"Thesebad guys need to
understand they need to com-
ply," Rivera said. "They can't
be making threatening moves
toward police officers."
