Cheney asks Musharraf to fight Al-qaida

Mexico sewage deal hits the rocks
IMPERIAL BEACH, Cal H.—
When it rains along the
border, millions of gallons
of sewage and industrial
waste from Mexican slums
and factories flow down the
Tijuana River into the
United States and end up
in the Pacific Ocean —a
mess that closed the beach

total of 198 days last year.
The US. government
once thought it had the solu

mated S7OO million to build
and operate a treatment
plant in Tijuana. Mexico.
Under the agreement, if the
plant could sell clean water
to Mexican factories, US.
taxpayers would get some of
their money back by taking a
share of the proceeds
But seven years later,
ground has yet to be broken.
And the agreement between
the US and Bajagua LLC is

The Musharraf aide, who

ideas and suggestions” on
improving cooperation
against terrorism. However,
he said Cheney made no spe
cific demands.

suspects after the Sept. 11,

would fatten the developer’s
pockets and fail to contain
