Artillery bums Gaza
JERUSALEM Human Rights
Watch said Sunday that Israel’s
military has fired artillery shells
with the incendiary agent white
phosphorus into Gaza and a doc
tor there said the chemical was
suspected in the case of 10 bum
victims who had skin peeling off
their faces and bodies.
Researchers in Israel from the
rights group witnessed hours of
artillery bombardments that sent
trails of burning smoke indicating
white phosphorus over the Jebaliya
refugee camp in northern Gaza.
But they could not confirm ipju
ries on the ground because they
have been barred from entering
the territory.
The chief doctor at Nasser
Hospital in southern Gaza said he
treated several victims there with
serious burns that might have
Peanut butter contaminated
COLUMBUS, Ohio
An Ohio distributor says
it has recalled two brands
of its peanut butter after
an open container tested
positive for salmonella
bacteria.
King Nut Companies
said in a statement that
it asked customers to
stop distributing all pea
nut butter under its King
Nut and Parnell’s Pride
brands with a lot code
that begins with the
numeral “8.”
The peanut butter was
distributed through food
service providers in Ohio,
Michigan, North Dakota,
Minnesota, Arizona,
Idaho, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and
Florida. It was not sold
directly to consumers.
Preliminary laboratory
testing found salmonella
bacteria in a 5-pound
container of King Nut
creamy peanut butter,
the Minnesota
Department of Health
said Friday.
The Minnesota tests
had not linked it to the
type of salmonella in the
outbreak that has sick-

He said, however, that he did
not have the resources or exper
tise to say with certainty what
caused the injuries.
The substance can cause seri
ous bums if it touches the skin
and can spark fires on the ground,
the rights group said in a written
statement calling on Israel not to
use it in crowded areas of Gaza,
Military spokeswoman Maj.
Avital Leibovich refused to com
ment directly on whether Israel
was using phosphorus, but said
the army was “using its munitions
in accordance with international
law.”
Israel used white phosphorus in
its 34-day war with Hezbollah in
Lebanon in 2006.

ened almost 400 people
in 42 states, but the
department said addi
tional results are expect
ed early next week.
King Nut’s president,
Martin Kanan, said
Sunday that the recall
involved approximately
1,000 cases of peanut
butter. He said he did not
know the names of the
company’s customers.
“We don’t know exact
ly where they sell to,”
Kanan said. “They could
sell cross-state, too.”
The CDC said Friday
that 399 cases had been
confirmed nationally,
with about one in five of
victims hospitalized.
California has reported
the most cases, with 55,
followed by Ohio with 53.
All the illnesses began
between Sept. 3 and Dec.
29, but most of the peo
ple grew sick after Oct.

Budget cuts may hinder
infrastructure demands
ATLANTA Show us the
money.
That’ll be the refrain
when Georgia’s Legislature
returns to Atlanta on
Monday and lawmakers will
grapple with a massive bud
get shortfall that will color
nearly every decision that’s
made under the Gold
Dome.
Gov. Sonny Perdue
already has ordered most
state agencies to slash their
budgets by 8 percent. State
workers have been fur
loughed. Fees at public col
leges are rising. Health ben
efits for the poor are being
scaled back.
And the cuts could go
deeper if the economy con
tinues to worsen. Tumbling
state revenues have ripped
a deficit in the budget that’s
expected to top $2 billion
for the current fiscal year.
At the same time, Georgia
is wrestling with costly infra
structure needs to keep up
with booming growth in
metro Atlanta. Roadways
are clogged with traffic.
Additional reservoirs are
STATE
needed to quench the
region’s fast-growing thirst.
“It’s going to be a painful
session,” predicted Lt. Gov.
Casey Cagle.
The first salvo in the bud
get battle will come
Wednesday• when Perdue
unveils his spending plan.
He’s pledged to include an
aggressive bond package to
kick start the state’s econo
my by borrowing to fund
road projects and school
construction.
Legislators will be able to
tinker with how the money
is spent. They won’t be able
to change the amount the
state may spend. The gover
nor has the sole authority to
set that figure and the state
is constitutionally prohibit
ed from running a deficit.
“It’s going to be a legisla
tive session of making cuts
where it hurts the least,”
said state Sen. Don Thomas,
a Dalton Republican.
