Israeli attack
destroys U.N.
headquarters
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
lsrael shelled the United
Nations headquarters in
the Gaza Strip on
Thursday, engulfing the
compound and a ware
house in fire and destroy
ing thousands of pounds
of food and humanitarian
supplies intended for
Palestinian refugees.
Another Israeli bom
bardment on Thursday
killed the Hamas security
chief.
U.N. workers and
Palestinian firefighters,
some wearing bulletproof
jackets, struggled to douse
the flames and pull bags of
food from the debris after
the Israeli attack, which
was another blow to efforts
to ease the humanitarian
crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Dense smoke billowed
from the compound.
U.N. Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon, who is in
the region to end the dev
astating offensive against
Gaza’s Hamas rulers,
demanded a “full explana
tion” and said the Israeli
defense minister told him
there had been a “grave
mistake.”
Israeli Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert, who met
with Ban later Thursday,
said the military fired artil
lery shells at the U.N. com
pound after Hamas mili
tants opened fire from the
location. Three people
were wounded.
“It is absolutely true
that we were attacked
from that place, but the
consequences are very sad
and we apologize for it,”
he said. “I don’t think it
should have happened and
I’m very sorry.”
The U.N. Security
Council requested a brief
ing on the attack.
Interior Minister Said
Siam was killed in an
Israeli airstrike that flat
Committee shows confidence in Clinton
WASHINGTON The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee voted overwhelmingly on Thursday for
Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the next secretary
of state, with lawmakers saying they were hopeful ner
leadership would mark a turn from warfare toward
diplomacy.
The 16-1 approval by the committee paves the way
for a full Senate vote after President-elect Barack
Obama takes office on Jan. 20. Clinton is not expected
to hit any major roadblocks, with Republicans and
Democrats alike praising her acumen on the issues.
But concerns about her husband’s charitable fund
raising overseas remain. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana,
who was among several Republicans who raised the
issue at her confirmation hearing earlier this week, cast
the lone opposing vote.
In a statement, Vitter called former President Bill

Israel and Hamas both
confirmed the death of
Siam, who oversaw thou
sands of security agents
and was considered to be
among the militant group’s
top five leaders in Gaza.
Even as a top Israeli
envoy went to Egypt to
discuss a cease-fire pro
posal, the military pushed
farther into Gaza in an
apparent effort to step up
pressure on Hamas.
Ground forces thrust deep
into a crowded neighbor
hood for the first time,
sending terrified residents
fleeing for cover. Shells
also struck a hospital, five
high-rise apartment build
ings and a building hous
ing media outlets in Gaza
City, injuring several jour
nalists.
Bullets also entered
another building housing
The Associated Press offic
es, entering a room where
two staffers were working
but wounding no one.
The Foreign Press
Association, representing
journalists covering Israel
and the Palestinian terri
tories, demanded a halt to
attacks on press build
ings.
The army had collected
the locations of media
organizations at the out
set of fighting to avoid
such attacks.
In Washington, the
Bush administration was
racing in its final days to
negotiate a last-minute
deal on American support
for Egyptian-led truce
mediation efforts under
which the U.S. would pro
vide support and expertise
to prevent Hamas from re
arming, said U.S. and
Israeli diplomats.

State-designate Hillary
Rodham Clinton transi
tion teams were being
advised of the talks, which
could lead to a prominent
and ongoing U.S. role in
tlie truce.
Israel launched its war
on Dec. 27 in an effort to
stop militant rocket fire
from Gaza that has terror
ized hundreds of thou
sands of Israelis. Some
1,100 Palestinians have
been killed, roughly half of
them civilians, according
to U.N. and Palestinian
medical officials. Gaza
health official Dr. Moaiya
Hassanain said at least 70
people were killed or died
of wounds throughout
Gaza on Thursday.
Israel says it will press
ahead until Hamas halts
the rocket fire and stops
smuggling weapons into
Gaza from neighboring
Egypt.
The U.N. compound
struck Thursday houses
the U.N. Works and Relief
Agency, which distributes
food aid to hundreds of
thousands of destitute
Gazans in the tiny seaside
territory of 1.4 million peo
ple.
It had only that morn
ing become a makeshift
shelter for 700 Gaza City
residents, U.N. officials in
Gaza said.
John Ging, director of
UNRWA operations in
Gaza, said the attack at
Clinton’s foundation a “multimillion dollar minefield of
conflicts of interest.”
Hillary Clinton told the panel earlier this week that
the United States must elevate the role of foreign poli
cy and diplomacy in handling tough problems.
“America cannot solve the most pressing problems
on our own, and the world cannot solve them without
America,” she said. “The best way to advance America’s
interest in reducing global threats and seizing global
opportunities is to design and implement global solu
tions. This isn’t a philosophical point. This is our reali
ty.”
On Iraq, Clinton- said ending the war is a priority.
The first step will be moving troops out of cities by
June, in line with an agreement already established
between the Bush administration and the Iraqi gov
ernment. The agreement calls for all U.S. troops to be
gone by the end of 2011.
Her testimony invigorated lawmakers, who said
they agree that old-fashioned diplomacy must make a
comeback in a U.S. agenda dominated by war.

Salmonella
worries
Kellogg Cos.
ATLANTA Concerns
over consumer exposure to
salmonella intensified
Thursday, a cjay after
Kellogg Cos. asked stores to
stop selling its peanut but
ter sandwich crackers until
the food maker can figure
out if the peanut paste is
contaminated.
The national salmonella
outbreak has sickened
more than 430 people in 43
states and may have con
tributed to five deaths.
Kellogg gets at least
some of its paste from
Lynchburg, Va.-based
Peanut Corp. of America,
which has recalled 21 lots
of peanut butter made
since July 1 at its plant in
Blakely, Ga., because of
possible contamination
from the bacteria.
While not going so far as
issuing a recall, Kellogg
asked stores nationwide to
remove the crackers sold
under its Austin and
Keebler brands and urged
consumers not to eat those
products until regulators
have completed an investi
gation into Peanut Corp.
