Iraq bombers topple Samarra minarets

AP - 8 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - In a bold blow to Iraqi hopes for peace, suspected al-Qaida bombers toppled the towering minarets of Samarra's revered Shiite shrine on Wednesday, adding new provocation to old wounds a year after the mosque's Golden Dome was destroyed.

    Conrad Black judge will not recall star witness
    By Andrew Stern Reuters

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - The judge presiding over Conrad Black's criminal fraud trial refused a request from his lawyers on Wednesday to bring back to the stand and try to further discredit the star witness against the former media baron.  Judge Amy St. Eve of the U.S. District Court said she saw no reason to recall David Radler, Black's business partner of 30 years, who turned government informant, pleaded guilty and now faces jail time. Radler testified last month over a two-week period as prosecutors tried to show that he and Black worked closely together in orchestrating a scheme that allowed the two to eventually steal $60 million (30 million pounds) from Hollinger International Inc., the media giant they had built. But defence lawyers made Radler admit on the stand that he had lied in the past and suggested that his word still could not be trusted. Radler pleaded guilty to one count of fraud in exchange for a 29-month prison sentence and an agreement to testify against Black and his three co-defendants. During Radler's testimony Black's Canadian-based lawyer Edward Greenspan said his plea agreement would set him free after only six months in jail, perhaps spent at a prison with a "golf course therapy program" near his home in Vancouver.

    "You know that anyone who gets three years or less for a non-violent crime (in Canada) is out in six months?" Greenspan asked.

    "I did not know that ..." Radler replied.

    "Fine, I'll send you a bill," Greenspan quipped at that time. But in arguing that Radler be brought back, Black's lawyers said they found out later that Radler had hired a lawyer familiar with Canadian parole guidelines and probably knew he faced only six months in prison. In her ruling on Wednesday, St. Eve told the defence that she was rejecting "your desire to impeach him further" on matters "that you could have discovered much earlier." She added that she thought Greenspan's "cross-examination (of Radler) was effective on this point" as it stood.

    MISTRIAL DENIED

    St. Eve also refused to declare a mistrial for one of Black's co-defendants, Mark Kipnis, who was general counsel for Chicago-based Hollinger International. Kipnis' motion charged that prosecutors, in their opening arguments, had overstated his role in allegedly bilking funds from the corporation and had not backed it up with evidence. Had she granted the request, Kipnis would have walked free immediately. Kipnis faces charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion, but he is considered to have a less direct role in the accused scheme compared to the other three men on trial. Prosecutors contended he helped Black and his associates steal from the company, but his lawyer elicited testimony from Radler that $150,000 in bonuses Kipnis received were fair pay for legal work that had saved Hollinger International money. The judge told Kipnis' lawyer that he had very effectively demonstrated to the jury in an earlier cross-examination of Radler that the money Kipnis received was done for legitimate work and not directly related to the scheme, yet she refused to grant the mistrial. St. Eve said she was "very surprised by that testimony" and watched how the jury reacted to it. She also said prosecutors had anticipated what the testimony would be and had not unfairly characterized Kipnis. The judge has previously rejected other requests for mistrials from defendants in the case. Her ruling on Wednesday cast doubt on whether she would look favourably on pending requests to dismiss all the charges from Kipnis and the other three defendants that were filed after the government rested its case. Such motions to dismiss are common and usually fail, and the judge has indicated her doubts about only a few counts. With the trial in its 12th week, Wednesday's hearing was held to address motions without the jury present because defence lawyers were unable to schedule witnesses for the day. The case may go to the jury in two or three weeks. The 62-year-old Black, a Canadian-born member of the House of Lords, is charged with racketeering, mail and wire fraud, obstruction of justice and tax evasion. If convicted, he faces up to 101 years in prison, millions in fines and $92 million in forfeitures. Three co-defendants face lesser charges but all four are accused of defrauding Hollinger International, now known as the Sun-Times Media Group, in the course of selling hundreds of newspapers and other media properties the company once owned. In testifying for the prosecution, Radler, a Canadian, has described how money flowed from the sale of newspapers and other properties he and Black sold off. That included millions of dollars in non-competition payments the government says Black and the others pocketed instead of sending to Hollinger International for the benefit of its shareholders. Non-competition payments are designed to prevent a seller from re-entering the same market. But Black and the others are accused of using part of the numerous payments as tax-free bonuses for themselves.

    Italians acquitted of "God's banker" murder
    By Stephen Brown Reuters - 54 minutes ago

    ROME (Reuters) - Two Italian mobsters, a bodyguard, a financier and his girlfriend were acquitted on Wednesday of the 1982 murder of Roberto Calvi, found hanging from a London bridge and known as "God's banker" for his Vatican links.

    The head of the collapsed Banco Ambrosiano was found dangling from a noose with $15,000 (7,500 pounds) in his pockets and weighed down with bricks under Blackfriars Bridge in central London.

    First ruled a suicide, the case was reopened in 2003 as a murder inquiry. The prosecution portrayed it as a Mafia revenge killing for Calvi's theft of Cosa Nostra money he was meant to launder, as well as money stolen from Licio Gelli of the P2 Masonic lodge. It presented forensic evidence that he was strangled and his suicide staged in a manner suggesting Mafia or Masonic ritual. Calvi's son Carlo, who never believed it was suicide and hired investigators to find evidence of foul play, said from Canada where he now lives he was disappointed but not surprised. "I never thought this was going to end today," he said. "But these are the individuals I consider responsible for organising his journey to London and his murder on the behalf of others." The court acquitted Mafia "treasurer" Pippo Calo, serving life for another murder; Sardinian financier Flavio Carboni; Rome crime boss Ernesto Diotallevi; and Calvi's bodyguard Silvano Vittor. Carboni's Austrian girlfriend Manuela Kleinszig was cleared of all suspicion, as the prosecution had requested. The private detective hired by Calvi's son, Jeff Katz, said by phone from London that the men acquitted "didn't put the rope around his neck or order it, they were just facilitators".

    NO RUST

    Despite a quarter of a century's wait, many questions have never been answered about Calvi, who has even been linked by authors to the untimely death of Pope John Paul I in 1978. Katz took on forensic experts to reconstruct the scaffolding from which Calvi was hanged. This showed his shoes would have had traces of rust had he climbed it to hang himself. "There was no trace on his shoes, so if he didn't walk on the scaffolding someone must have put him there," said Katz. Calvi's son, who intends to keep hunting his father's killers, hopes for closer cooperation between Italian and British investigators to shed light on Italian criminals working in the London underworld back in 1982. "Now that the British police have changed their view and say a crime was committed, I think they should tell us how it was committed," he said. Asked who he believed ordered the murder, Calvi said his father had meant to return to Italy to testify and restructure his bank, which was opposed by the Vatican and top politicians. Calvi's death cast a long shadow over the Vatican, which was implicated financially in the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano. The Vatican Bank owned a small part of Ambrosiano and it was found partly responsible for the $1.3 billion in bad debts left by its failure. Calvi was appealing against a four-year sentence when he secretly flew to London in 1982 with a case of papers. Katz believes Calvi was lured onto a boat on the Thames with the promise of meeting shadowy financiers who could help him save Ambrosiano, when he was murdered and his suicide staged. The motive, Katzi believes, was that Calvi had threatened to squeal on his powerful clients if they let him go to jail.

    "Who could Calvi damage most in 1982? The political establishment had most to lose because of the payments being funnelled illegally to them by corporations," he said. "I think the powers that be were trying to send a very strong message."

    McCann's in Rome to meet Pope

    Madeleine McCann's parents Kate and Gerry are in Rome for an audience with the Pope

    It is the first time Mrs McCann has been out of Portugal since four-year-old Madeleine was snatched from her bed nearly four weeks ago. She was clutching Madeleine's pink toy cat as the couple climbed into a car for the journey to Faro airport where they boarded a private jet owned by Top Shop boss Sir Philip Green. They will be part of a general audience at the Vatican and will be introduced to the Pope at the end of the session. Mrs McCann wants to give Pope Benedict XVI a photograph of her daughter. Earlier, the McCann family released two video clips of the youngster as she boarded their holiday flight to the Algarve on April 28. They were captured on a family friend's mobile phone the day the family left for their holiday in Portugal.

    Mrs McCann has watched them regularly over the 26 days since the abduction.
