Immigrant
bill signed
into law
by Perdue
ATLANTA — Gov. Sonny
Perdue on Monday signed a
sweeping immigration bill
that both supporters and
critics say will make Georgia’s
laws among the toughest in
the nation.
“I want to make this clear:
we are not, Georgia’s govern
ment is not, and this bill is
not anti-immigrant,” Perdue
said Monday at a signing cer
emony.
The Georgia Security and
Immigration Compliance Act
will verify that adults seeking
many state-administered
benefits are in the country
legally. It sanctions employers
who knowingly hire illegal
immigrants and mandates
that companies with state
contracts check the immigra
tion status of their
employees. The law will also

Papers win Pulitzer
for Katrina coverage
TEL AVIV, Israel — A
Palestinian suicide bomber
struck a packed fast-food
restaurant during Passover
on Monday, killing nine other
people and wounding dozens
in the deadliest attack in
more than a year.
In a sharp departure from
the previous Palestinian gov
ernment’s condemnations of
bombings, the Hamas-led
administration said the
attack resulted from Israel’s
“brutal aggression.” The
bloodshed and the hard-line
stance could set the stage for
harsh Israeli reprisals and
endanger Palestinian efforts
to secure desperately needed
international aid.

off cliff in Mexico
VERACRUZ, Mexico — A

Guadalajara to the Gulf
coast city of Tabasco follow
ing the Easter week holiday.
Three people were injured,
and authorities said the
number of victims could
increase.

arrested by Aruban authori
ties in the case.
Joseph Tacopina, a U.S.

ties only as “G.V.C.” was good
news for his client because it
suggested the investigation
was heading in a new direc
tion.
