Lenny takes unusual course

Hurricane travels west-to-east, threatens Puerto Rico y Virginia
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) —
Packing 100 mph winds and torren
tial rains. Hurricane Lenny careened
past the Dominican Republic yester
day on a rare west-to-east course
aimed directly at Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
Residents who had hoped the
storm season was waning were in
stead rushing to grocery stores to
stock up on water, crackers and
canned tuna.
People piled up furniture in their
homes as officials warned serious
flooding was possible.
“I’m worried about this one,”
Idelisa Ramos said, while three
hardware store employees struggled
to mount a new 600-gallon water
tank on top of her minivan in Baya-
mon. “It’s such a strange storm, it
can’t be up to any good.”
Lenny was 300 miles southwest
of San Juan on yesterday afternoon,
moving east at 16 mph.
Hurricane winds extended 50
miles from the center and tropical
storm-force winds another 145
miles.
The storm was expected to turn
increasingly northeast and hit Puer
to Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands on
Wednesday morning.
Its outer bands were already
bringing torrential rain and danger
ous, battering waves into nearshore
waters off Puerto Rico’s southeast
coast, the U.S. National Weather Ser
vice said.
Officials in Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands warned the
storm could dump up to 15 inches
of rain, raising fears of deadly land
slides and flash floods in areas al
ready saturated by more than a
week of rain.
The islands barely escaped Hur
ricane Jose last month.
“We’re very concerned,” Max
Mayfield, deputy director of the
U.S. National Hurricane Center in
Miami, said.
A hurricane warning also was in
effect for the British Virgin Islands.
Officials issued hurricane watch
es and tropical storm warnings for

JERUSALEM (AP) — In what began as a minor tiff
but turned into a full-blown dispute, Israelis and
Palestinians were deadlocked yesterday over who
should decide what land Israel hands over.
A top U.S. envoy was unable to settle the argument.
Israel said its exclusive right to
sketch West Bank withdrawal maps
was anchored in earlier peace ac
cords. The Palestinians disputed that,
saying they had to be consulted.
“No one has the right to impose
maps on us,” Palestinian leader Yass
er Arafat said yesterday.
The argument’s outcome could
have far-reaching effects.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
In a stadium packed with thou
sands of onlookers, a woman
dressed in an all-enveloping
burqa was shot to death yesterday
in the first public execution of a
woman since Afghanistan’s Tal
iban rulers took control three
years ago.
The woman, who was identi
fied only as Zareena, a mother of
seven children, was convicted of
beating her husband to death
with a steel hammer as he slept.
A Taliban soldier said the rea
son for the slaying two years ago
was a “family dispute.”
Zareena was brought to the
sports stadium in the back of a
pickup truck dressed in a pale
blue burqa, or bulky Islamic cloak
that covered her from head to toe.
Two female police officers,
dressed in deep blue burqas, held
her arms.
Witnesses said she walked
slowly to the center of the field,
each step followed by a pause,
and was ordered to sit.
A young Taliban soldier, his
head wrapped in the traditional
turban, stood behind her and took
aim with his Kalashnikov rifle.
Suddenly Zareena stood up and
