A homeowner fatally shot an intruder who refused to leave his northwest Houston home after repeatedly banging on the door. The victim, shot in the shoulder and chest, died at Ben Taub Hospital.

SALEM -- The harshest critics of the war protests in downtown Portland angrily called the demonstrators "terrorists" and wished aloud that the police and courts would treat them as such. This morning, that idea gets put to the test at the Oregon Legislature, where a ranking senator has introduced a bill to "create the crime of terrorism" and apply it to people who intentionally cause injury while disrupting commerce or traffic. If convicted, they would face imprisonment for life. Senate Bill 742 is the brainchild of Sen. John Minnis, R-Wood Village, a Portland police detective who also serves as chairman...

KUWAIT (Reuters) - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Tuesday a specialist engineer had arrived in Iraq's second city of Basra to try to restore water supplies and avert a feared humanitarian crisis.

The main Wafa al-Qaed water treatment plant on the northern edge of Basra, scene of fierce fighting between British and U.S. forces and Iraqi defenders, has been out of action since Friday because of a power outage.
