News in Brief
Pump prices jump
6 cents in 2 weeks
X0&
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gasoline
rose 6 cents per gallon at the pump
in the past two weeks, surpassing
the all-time peak recorded in
vember 1990, industry analyst Tril
by Lundberg said Sunday.
High crude oil prices and strong
demand combined to drive up
national average price, including all
grades and taxes, to $1.4713asof
Friday. That was an increase of 6.08
cents from Feb. 11, according to
the Lundberg Survey of 10,000 sta
tions nationwide.
“The international oil communi
ty is speculating that key world oil
producers may increase oil produc
tion in April, which would ease oil
prices and therefore gasoline
prices," Lundberg said. “But for
now, gasoline prices will probably
hover around their current levels or
rise even further."

HURST, Texas (AP) — More than
six weeks after the death of a Laot
ian immigrant who aspired to
launch a singing career, police in
this Fort Worth suburb are search
ing for answers in a case that has
taken them into the world of Asian-
American music and the serenity of
a Buddhist temple.
Kaysone Khounpanya, a 49-year-
old grandmother, was suffering from
a stab wound and cuts as she lay
on the bedroom floor in her apart
ment last month, her hands tied be
hind her back. As she struggled to
free herself, someone placed a pil
low to the back of her head, shoved
a handgun against it and fired once,
authorities said.
