NEWS SUMMARY

INTERNATIONAL A3-13 Anti-Syrian Protesters Flood Square in Beirut Lebanon's anti-Syria opposition regained momentum as hundreds of thousands of Lebanese jammed Beirut's central square to demand the end to Syrian control of their country. A1 The Bush administration joined with a United Nations envoy in warning Syria that it should not make its promised withdrawal of troops from Lebanese territory contingent on the formation of a new government in Beirut. A10 Allegations Spark Anger in Iraq The Bannas, a well-respected Jordanian family, have been told that their elder son was a suicide bomber who killed more than 130 people in Iraq. There is no substantial proof, but hundreds of Iraqis are angry at Jordan for what they say is an instigation of violence. A12 Excess billing for postwar fuel imports to Iraq by the Halliburton Company totaled more than $108 million, not $60 million as previously thought, according to a report by Pentagon auditors that was completed last fall. The report was completed the month before the American presidential elections, but has never been officially released to the public or to Congress. A12 American and Iraqi forces have captured a former member of Saddam Hussein's government and two of the dictator's relatives, officials said. In separate attacks across Iraq, at least four people were killed. A12 Israel to Hand Over 2 Towns Israel agreed to hand over security control of two West Bank towns, Jericho and Tulkarm, to the Palestinians, a transfer the Palestinians have sought in fitful negotiations following a truce declared by the two sides five weeks ago.

A18 New Route for Heart Valves A team of Michigan cardiologists has implanted an artificial heart valve in a 76-year-old man by feeding the device up through a vein in his left leg, instead of opening the patient's chest and stopping his heart. A23 Trial Delayed in Bush Plot Federal prosecutors won a delay in the trial of an American student accused of plotting to assassinate President Bush, contending that the use of Saudi witnesses and the defense's charges of torture would make the case unusually complicated. A18 NEW YORK/REGION B1-7 Albany Lobbyists Capitalize on Split With Albany controlled to an unusual degree by just three men, and with these men in a state of near-constant, often quite bitter political warfare, companies have found that they can make a more effective case when their lobbyist has close ties to the official being lobbied or by hiring separate lobbying firms to help them win access to each player.

Giuliani declared war on Times Square's X-rated peep shows, strip joints and video stores have slowly begun to creep back into the area, adroitly exploiting loopholes in the law.
