Dallas area Mosque

Thursday, S —
target
remain
IRVING (AP) — Vandalism
at two Dallas area mosques on
Wednesday had some Muslims
fearful they were targets of
retaliation following terrorist
attacks on the East Coast.
At least six bullets shattered
windows of the Islamic Center of
Irving early Wednesday, causing
about $3,000 in damage to the
large pane windows fronting the
shopping center location, offi
cials said.
A window at the Islamic
Center of Carrollton also was
broken by a slingshot-type
device early Wednesday,
police said.
Windows at the Irving
mosque were found shattered
when workers arrived around 6
a.m. CDT Wednesday. Nobody
was at the mosque when the
shooting occurred and no
injuries were reported.
Police and the FBI were inves
tigating the incidents. It was not
immediately clear if they were
related to Tuesday’s attacks.
Danny Defenbaugh. the
FBI’s special agent-in-charge
in Dallas, was critical of the
vandalism.
“Quite frankly, I should not
have to be wasting my time in
doing vandalism-type cases with
the national initiative with so
many deaths and tragedies we’ve
had over the last day.” he said.
But Irving mosque member
Jason-Yaseen Black said many
Muslims “are afraid for our
families.”
“It’s obviously misdirected
anger,” he said. “Luckily no one
was here when the shots were
fired.”
Center president Mohamoud
Egal said the mosque will con
tinue holding services five times
a day at the location, which is
not marked with signs.
“We pray to God.” he said.
“That’s not going to change. We
also are going to keep an eye on
our women. We’ve advised them
lo stay home and be careful if
they dress ethnically.”
Egal said the center planned
to disable its Website, which was

NEWS IN BRIEF
Republicans pressure Gramm
to step down early
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Some Republicans are "mov
ing heaven and earth” to get Sen. Phil Gramm to
resign early so that U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla can be
appointed and the OOP's hold on the seat can be
assured, party officials say.
Gramm has said he will not step down before his
term ends in January 2003, but at least one con
gressional source told the San Antonio Express-News
in Wednesday’s editions that he believes the senator
has changed his mind.
Bexar County Republican Chairman Roy Barrera Jr.
says Republicans want Bonilla, a Hispanic, to take
Gramm’s seat in order to offset any Democratic
advantage in the upcoming elections.
Barrera says Republicans are concerned that
Democrats will benefit from the candidacy of two
popular Hispanics, Democratic gubernatorial candi-

Court issues rulings in death penalty case
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals on Wednesday upheld
the conviction of Danny Dean Thomas,
who was sentenced to death for the 1981
kidnapping and murder of a 19-year-old
woman.
Thomas and a friend helped Sylvia
Elaine Harrison after she had car trouble,
according to evidence. They later abducted
her from her home, and Thomas shot her in
the head as she begged for her life.
Among the 54 points of error that
Thomas raised in his appeal include alle
gations that Thomas’ written confession
was coerced and that he did not waive
his rights before making the written
statement.
The court wrote there is no court record
to indicate the allegations.
“The sheriff’s detectives who obtained
his confession had actually done a great job
and treated him very well,” said Harris
County Assistant District Attorney Bill
Del more.
Thomas, also known as Shozdijiji
Shisinday, was tried twice for the crime. His
first conviction, which was overturned, was
in March 1982. His latest conviction was in
November 1998.
Thomas also alleged in his appeal that
the passage of time since his original trial
prevented him from presenting an effective
insanity defense at his new trial. Thomas
contended that since his first trial, his schiz-
