DENVER (AP)— Buoyed by apowerful debateshowing, MittRomney saidThursday he offers"prosperity thatcomes throughfreedom" to acountry strugglingto shed a weake c o n o m y .President BarackObama accusedthe formerMassachusetts governor of running from his ownrecord in pursuit of political power.

Both men unleashed new attack ads in thebattleground states in a race with little more thana month to run, Obama suggesting Romneycouldn't be trusted with the presidency, and theRepublican accusing the president of backing alarge tax increase on the middle class.

Not even Democrats disputed that Romneywas likely to benefit politically from the debateWednesday night in which he aggressively chal-lenged Obama's stewardship of the economy andsaid his own plans would help pull the country outof a slow-growth rut. Still, there was no immediateindication that the race would expand beyond thenine battleground states where the rivals and theirrunning mates spend nearly all of their campaigntime and advertising dollars.

Debate host Colorado is one of them, andVirginia, where Romney headed for an eveningspeech, is another. So, too, Wisconsin, Obama'sdestination for a mid-day rally. Nevada, Ohio,Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida and North Carolinaare the others.

Among them, the nine states account for 110electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win theWhite House, more than enough to tip the cam-paign to one man or the other.

"Victory is in sight," Romney exulted in anemailed request for donations to supporters. Itwas a show of confidence by a man hoping for aquick reversal in pre-debate public opinion pollsthat showed him trailing in battleground states aswell as nationally.

Reprising a line from the debate, he told anaudience of conservatives in Denver that Obamaoffers "trickle-down government." He added, "Idon't think that's what America believes in. I seeinstead a prosperity that comes through freedom."

Another possible pivot point in the campaignneared in the form of Friday's government reporton unemployment for September. Joblessnesswas measured at 8.1. percent the previous month.

Obama cam-paigned with theenergy of a mandetermined tomake up for a sub-par debate show-ing. Speaking to acrowd not far fromthe debate hall, hesaid mockinglythat a "very spirit-ed fellow" whostood next to himo n s t a g eWednesday night

"does not want to be held accountable for the realMitt Romney's positions" on taxes, education andother issues. "Governor Romney may dancearound his positions, but if you want to be presi-dent you owe the American people the truth," hesaid.

Later, before a crowd of tens of thousands inMadison, Wis., he said Romney wants to cut fed-eral funding for Public Television while repealinglegislation that regulates the banking industry "Ijust want to make sure I've got this straight: He'llget rid of regulations on Wall Street, but he's goingto crack down on Sesame Street," Obama said.

Taxes were a particular point of contentionbetween the two men, although they were sharplydivided as well on steps the cut the deficit, on gov-ernment regulation, on education and Medicare.

Both in the debate and on the day after,Obama said repeatedly that his rival favors a $5trillion tax cut that is tilted to the wealthy andwould mean tax increases on the middle class orelse result in a spike in federal deficits.

Romney said it wasn't so, and counterat-tacked in a new television commercial. It cited areport by the American Enterprise Institute thatsaid Obama and "his liberal allies" want to raisetaxes on middle class earners by $4,000 and thatthe Republican alternative would not raise theamount they owe to the IRS.

Romney has refused so far to disclose manyof the details to support his assertion that his pro-posal would not lead to a tax cut. His ad was anattempt to parry a report by the Tax Policy Centerthat Obama has frequently tried used to politicaladvantage, as he did again during the day.

In a new ad by the president's campaign,Romney is quoted as saying that a $5 trillion taxcut "is not my plan." The ad then cites a study bythe Tax Policy Center as saying it is, and asks whythe Republican challenger "won't level with usabout his tax plan which gives the wealthy hugenew tax breaks.

PUBLISHER INFORMATION

WA S H I N G TO N

(AP) -- Supreme Court

justices sharply ques-

tioned the University of

Texas' use of race in

college admissions

Wednesday in a case

that could lead to new

limits on affirmative

a c t i o n .

The court heard

arguments in a chal-

lenge to the program

from a white Texan who

contends she was dis-

criminated against

when the university did

not offer her a spot in

2008.

The court's conservatives cast doubt on the program

that uses race as one among many factors in admitting

about a quarter of the university's incoming freshmen.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote could be deci-

sive, looked skeptically on Texas' defense of the program.

"What you're saying is what counts is race above all,"

Kennedy said.

Twenty-two-year-old Abigail Fisher was among the

hundreds of spectators at the arguments. Also in atten-

dance was retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who

wrote the majority opinion in a 2003 case that upheld the

use of race in college admissions.

Justice Samuel Alito, O'Connor's successor, has

voted consistently against racial preferences since he

joined the court in 2006 and appears likely to side with

Fisher.

Among the liberal justices who looked more favor-

ably on the Texas admissions system was Justice Sonia

Sotomayor. She told Bert Rein, Fisher's Washington-

based lawyer, that he was looking to "gut" the nine-year-

old decision.

The federal appeals court in New Orleans upheld the

Texas program, saying it was consistent with the 2003

decision in Grutter v. Bollinger.

Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Antonin Scalia

and Alito raised repeated objections to the affirmative

action plan.

Roberts wanted to know how the university would

determine when it had a "critical mass" of diversity on

campus that would allow it to end the program.

Near the end of the session, he complained, "I'm

hearing a lot about what it's not. I would like to know

what it is."

The university says the program is necessary to pro-

vide the kind of diverse educational experience the high

court has previously endorsed. The rest of its slots go to

students who are admitted based on their high school

class rank, without regard to race

Opponents of the program say the university is prac-

ticing illegal discrimination by considering race at all,

especially since

it achieves sig-

nificant diversity

through its race-

blind admissions.

After the

argument con-

cluded, Fisher

read a brief state-

ment outside in

which she said

she hoped the

court would rule

that race or eth-

nicity "should

not be considered

when applying to

the University of

Texas.

Justice Elena Kagan is not taking part in the case,

probably because she worked on it at the Justice

Department before joining the court.

WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department officialsare telling Congress that security levels at the U.S.consulate in Benghazi, Libya were adequate for thethreat level on the anniversary of 9/11. But theyalso said the compound was overrun by an"unprecedented attack" by dozens of heavily armedextremists.

Testifying before an election-season congressionalhearing on alleged security failures at the consulatethat led or contributed to the deaths of the U.S.ambassador to Libya and three other Americans,senior officials said the number of U.S. and localsecurity guards at the compound was consistentwith what had been requested by the post.

Deputy Secretary of State Charlene Lamb told thepanel, quote, "We had the correct number ofassets in Benghazi at the time of 9/11."

She's the State Department official in charge ofprotecting American embassies and consulatesaround the world.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- A private com-pany is headed back to the International SpaceStation.

On Sunday night, SpaceX will attempt to launchanother Dragon capsule full of food, clothes and sci-ence experiments for the astronauts at the spacestation. The company hopes to repeat the successof its test flight in May.

Rainy weather could keep the company'sFalcon rocket grounded. Forecasters said Thursdaythere's a 60 percent chance of favorable conditionsfor the 8:35 p.m. launch from Cape Canaveral.

This is the California company's first officiallaunch under a $1.6 billion contract with NASA. Thecontract calls for 12 deliveries.

The Dragon will spend a few weeks at the spacestation before being cut loose at the end of Octoberwith a full load of science experiments and oldequipment. It will parachute into the Pacific.

Among the items going up and coming back onthe Dragon are a dozen student experiments thatflew aboard the SpaceX capsule in May, but werenot properly activated by the station crew. NASAoffered this second chance.

NASA is counting on private business to helpkeep the space station stocked, now that the shut-tles are retired. The governments of Russia, Japanand Europe also provide periodic supply runs.

A second company, the Virginia-based OrbitalSciences Corp., hopes to launch its Antares rocketwith a mockup capsule by the end of this year, out ofWallops Island. The first test flight to the space sta-tion, by Orbital Sciences, is targeted for early 2013.

SpaceX - or Space Exploration TechnologiesCorp. - is run by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk,who's also the chief executive officer of the electriccar-maker, Tesla Motors. He is working to modify theDragon capsule in order to carry astronauts backand forth to the space station, within three to fiveyears. Americans currently hitch rides on Russianrockets.

"Because if we can't trust him here" — a photoof the debate stage appears — "How could weever trust him here," the narrator says as a photoof the Oval Office fills the screen.

The two men debate twice more this month,Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y. and Oct. 22 in BocaRaton, Fla.

Before they do, Vice President Joe Biden andRomney's running mate, Wisconsin Rep. PaulRyan, will share a stage in Danville, Ky. in oneweek's time.

Biden plunged into the tax debate during theday, saying the administration does indeed wantto increase the taxes paid by the wealthy by $1trillion.

"We want to let that trillion-dollar tax cut expireso the middle class doesn't have to bear the bur-den of all that money going to the super wealthy,"he said while campaigning in Iowa. "That's not atax raise, that's called fairness where I comefrom."

Republicans didn't see it that way, and seizedon the comment as evidence the administration'spolicies would kill jobs.

Whatever the eventual outcome of the race,Romney seemed to have achieved his goal of acampaign reset. Democrats braced for tighteningpolls over the next several days in the states

where the campaign will be won or lost.

The head of one Republican-aligned inde-pendent group said all such organizations shouldconsider expanding into states that have effec-tively been written off. "If we didn't get a home run,we certainly got a triple" from Romney's showingin the debate, said American Future Fund'sfounder Nick Ryan, who sided with Rick Santorumduring the primaries.

Obama campaign strategist David Axelrodacknowledged in a conference call with reportersthat an adjustment in strategy would be needed inthe debates to come. "Obviously moving forwardwe're going to take a hard look at this, and we'regoing to have to make some judgments as towhere to draw the line in these debates and howto use our time," Axelrod said.

Romney frequently interrupted both Obamaand moderator Jim Lehrer of the PublicBroadcasting Service during the 90-minutedebate, sometimes talking over one or both ofthem to argue that the president's policies hadn'trestored the economy, or alternatively, that thepresident was making false accusations aboutRepublican proposals.

While both men prepared extensively for theirfirst head-to-head encounter, Romney had theadvantage of having taken part in 19 debates withhis Republican rivals over the course of manymonths. He seemed to employ many of the tech-niques that he honed then, insisting on speakingtime he claimed he was entitled to, for example,generally without seeming belligerent.

The president's last prior debate was fouryears ago, when he was running against Sen.John McCain.

A PRIVATE COMPANY

IS HEADED BACK TO

THE INTERNATIONAL

S P A C E S T A T I O N .

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- A glimpse into the shadowworld of Iran's main spy agency is now a clickaway.

In an unexpected display of outreach, theIntelligence Ministry now hosts a website withaddresses of provincial offices, appeals for tipsand anti-American essays that mock rising obe-sity rates, large prison populations and schoolshootings.

There's no mission statement on the site, but itappears part of stepped-up attempts by Iran'sleadership to promote national unity and projectits authority amid Western sanctions and interna-tional isolation. After protests in Tehran last weekover Iran's slumping currency, the nationallybroadcast Friday prayers tapped heavily into thetheme of shared sacrifice in times of trouble. Andon Wednesday, Iran's Supreme Leader AyatollahAli Khamenei described the sanctions as a "waragainst a nation."

The new website also fits into Iran's narrative offighting a "soft war" in cyberspace againstWestern cultural and political influences. Formore than a year, Iran's leaders have toutedplans for a "clean" Internet that could presum-ably try to block Western content, but Webexperts have raised questions about its technicalfeasibility.

"The ministry is going online to make its pres-ence known to the Iranian public, especially theyoung who use the Internet," said MeirJavedanfar, an Iranian-born political analystbased in Israel. "This is basically a show offorce."

What the new Farsi-language site,

HTTP://WWW.VAJA.IR , lacks in innovation(mostly a simple list of stories and links), itmakes up for in pure anti-American bluntness.

Click on "America from a Different Perspective."The list of shame includes the huge U.S. prisonpopulation, rising obesity, school shooting statis-tics, why supporters of euthanasia seek to "killgrandparents" and how giant chain stores suchas Walmart are smothering small businesses.

Another essay claims the chief goal of U.S. eco-nomic sanctions is not to force concessions overTehran's nuclear program, but to incite civilunrest. It specifically cites U.S. diplomat JillianBurns, who set up Washington's first Iranianmonitoring office in Dubai in 2006 and is current-ly the consul in Herat in western Afghanistan,where Iran has strong cultural and economicties. There was no immediate comment from theState Department.

Tehran-based political commentator Hamid RezaShokouhi sees the website - the web name isthe Farsi acronym for the Intelligence Ministry -as part of a new image-building campaign byIran's ruling system in the Internet era, whichhas left authorities in a constant struggle to blockopposition sites and Western influences.

"Economic and military threats against Iran haveincreased. Under such circumstances, it is nec-essary to reduce the gap between the peopleand the ruling system," said Shokouhi. "Thewebsite is a move in this direction. This is a bigdeal."

It's far from the first time that Iran's leadershiphas planted its flag in cyberspace.

Websites have operated for years for Khameneiand others including President MahmoudAhmadinejad - in Farsi, English and Arabic. Morethan a dozen state-run and semiofficial newsservices also flood the Web around the clock.

"The leadership, particularly within the hardlineelements of the Intelligence Ministry, has anobsession with the notion that Washington is

The information contained in this Traffic Crash Statistics booklet is extractedfrom law enforcement agency long-form reports of traffic crashes in which amotor vehicle is involved. A law enforcement officer

must submit a long form crash report when investigating:• Motor vehicle crashes resulting in death or personal injury, or• Motor vehicle crashes in which one or more of the following conditions

occur:• Leaving the scene involving damage to an attended vehicle or property

(Section316.061 (1), F.S.), or• Driving while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical sub-

316.193, F.S.).An investigating officer may report other traffic crashes on the long-form

crash report. In particular, applicable statutes specify an officer's discretion to submit a long-

form report incrashes where a vehicle is rendered inoperable to the degree that a wreck-

er is required toremove it from traffic. However, only those crashes that meet the critera

above are included in this report.January 1, 2011, the Department began using a new and improved long form

crash form. The datain this report comes from the previous long form crash report and the new

long form crash report.In October of 2010, a few agencies began using the new crash report form.

However, customsofficers Kenny Frickand Brandon Parkerbelieved in their ini-tial investigationthat the lead-filled,leather-coated billyclubs and a col-lapsible baton maybe prohibited by

California law, according to an affidavitfiled in U.S. District Court.

A customs official said Tuesday night thatHarris was not enrolled in any of the U.S.government's trusted traveler programs,which could have allowed faster process-ing through security or customs. The offi-cial spoke on the condition of anonymitybecause he was not authorized to discussdetails of the ongoing investigation.

Harris traveled from Kansai, in westernJapan, to Incheon, Korea, before landingin Los Angeles.

An immigration officer at KansaiInternational Airport, Masahiro Nakamoto,said authorities did not report anythingsuspicious at the time Harris boarded.Spokesman Keisuke Hamatani saidKansai security officials had not reportedany suitcases containing the hazardousmaterials U.S. authorities say they foundin Harris' luggage.

Nakamoto said arriving passengers arechecked more closely than those leavingthe country.

Yasunori Oshima, an official at Japan'sLand and Transport Ministry's aviationsafety department, said there had been noofficial inquiry or request from U.S. authori-ties to look into the case, which he saidwould have been more of a concern if thehazardous materials were brought onboard rather than checked.

"The case does not seem to pose anyimmediate concerns about aviation securi-ty measures in Japan," he said.

Airport police said they do not believe thecase constitutes illegal conduct under theJapanese domestic criminal code, butJapan may cooperate at the request ofU.S. investigators.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Aman arrested at Los AngelesInternational Airport wearinga bulletproof vest and flame-resistant pants is not cooper-ating with federal officialsworking to discover why hewas headed to Boston with asuitcase full of weapons,authorities say.

Yongda Huang Harris, 28,was taken into custodyrecently during a stopover ona trip from Japan when U.S.Customs and BorderProtection officers reportednoticing he was wearing theprotective gear under histrench coat, triggering aHomeland Security investiga-tion.

A search of Harris' checked luggageuncovered numerous suspicious items,including a smoke grenade, knives, bodybags, a hatchet, a collapsible baton, a bio-hazard suit, a gas mask, billy clubs, hand-cuffs, leg irons and a device to repel dogs,authorities said.

Harris has not cooperated with authoritiesattempting to interview him, according to aU.S. official who spoke on condition ofanonymity to discuss an open investigationTuesday.

The official said Harris, who was taken intocustody Friday, is not believed to be linkedto a terrorist organization. His motive,however, has not been determined, theofficial said.

Harris has been charged with one count oftransporting hazardous materials, anoffense that carries a maximum penalty offive years in prison. He made a brief courtappearance Tuesday, but his arraignmentwas delayed until Friday and he wasordered held until then.

Harris is a U.S. citizen whose permanentresidence is in Boston, though he recentlystarted living and working in Japan, offi-cials said. Attempts to reach Harris' familyin Boston and his associates were unsuc-cessful.

His attorney, Steven Seiden, was unavail-able to comment, said Chris Williams, aspokesman for Seiden, who also repre-sents Mark Basseley Youssef, the manbehind the anti-Islam video that recentlysparked violence in the Middle East.

It's unclear what Harris had on his bodyand what he had checked in baggage,which will be crucial information to thedefense, said Williams, who declined tocomment on why Harris was carrying anyof the weapons.

"It raises a lot of questions, and thosequestions will need to be answered. Rightnow, the case is very early," Williams said.

ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Schools shut their

doors in protest and Pakistanis across the country

held vigils Wednesday to pray for a 14-year-old

girl who was shot by a Taliban gunman after dar-

ing to advocate education for girls and criticize

the militant group.

The shooting of Malala Yousufzai on

Tuesday in the town of Mingora in the volatile

Swat Valley horrified Pakistanis across the reli-

gious, political and ethnic spectrum. Many in the

country hoped the attack and the outrage it has

sparked will be a turning point in Pakistan's long-

running battle against the Taliban, which still

enjoys considerable public support for fighting

U.S. forces in neighboring Afghanistan.

A Taliban gunman walked up to a bus taking

children home from school and shot Malala in

the head and neck. Another girl on the bus was

also wounded. Pictures of the vehicle showed

bloodstained seats where the girls were sitting.

Malala appeared to be out of immediate dan-

ger after doctors operated on her early

Wednesday to remove a bullet lodged in her

neck. But she remained in intensive care at a hos-

pital in the northwestern city of Peshawar, and

Pakistan's Interior Minister said the next 48

hours would be crucial.

Small rallies and prayer sessions were held

for her in Mingora, the eastern city of Lahore, the

southern port city of Karachi and the capital of

Islamabad. In newspapers, on TV and in social

media forums, Pakistanis voiced their disgust

with the attack, and expressed their admiration

for a girl who spoke out against the Taliban when

few dared.

Even the country's top military officer - a

man who rarely makes public statements - con-

demned the shooting and visited the Peshawar

hospital to check on the teenager.

"In attacking Malala, the terrorist have failed

to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an

icon of courage and hope who vindicates the

great sacrifices that the people of Swat and the

nation gave, for wresting the valley from the

scourge of terrorism," Gen. Ashfaq Parvez

Kayani said in a statement.

In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary

Rodham Clinton praised the young Pakistani

girl.

"She was attacked and shot by extremists

who don't want girls to have an education and

don't want girls to speak for themselves, and

don't want girls to become leaders," she said.

At the United Nations, Secretary-General

Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack on Malala,

calling it a "heinous and cowardly act," U.N.

spokesman Nartin Nesirky said.

Malala is admired across Pakistan for expos-

ing the Taliban's atrocities and advocating girls'

education in the face of religious extremism.

At the age of 11, she began writing a blog

under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under

the Taliban in the Swat Valley. After the military

ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly

speaking out about the need for girls' education,

something the Taliban strongly opposes.

The group claimed responsibility for

Tuesday's attack, vowed to target her again.

Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik

said authorities have identified her attackers and

know how they got into the valley, but no arrests

have been made.

The news that surgeons were able to remove

a bullet lodged in Malala's neck was greeted with

relief by many. But even with such an outpouring

of grief and outrage in Pakistan over the young

girl's shooting, it was unclear whether it would

indeed trigger a shift in public opinion against

the Taliban.

Many in Pakistan view the group as waging a

noble fight against U.S. troops that invaded

another Muslim country, Afghanistan, and they

argue that the Taliban problem within Pakistan

will fade once American forces leave. They

argue that Taliban attacks against targets in

Pakistan aim to punish the government in

Islamabad for its alliance with Washington.

"Pakistan society is polarized on who is

doing terrorism," said Hasan-Askari Rizvi, a

political analyst in Lahore. He said that divide

has been evident even in the public condemna-

tions of the attack, with some people speaking

out strongly against the Taliban while others

have criticized the government for failing to pro-

tect Malala.

Omar R. Quraishi, the editorial pages editor

at Pakistan's English-language Express Tribune

newspaper, questioned whether the public out-

rage had reached such a critical mass that it

would indeed mark a turning point.

He said Kayani's strong statement in support

of the girl may be an attempt to gauge whether

there is enough public outrage to support a sharp

response from the army against the Taliban. The

general, said Quraishi, doesn't want to be in a

position where people are asking: "Why are you

fighting America's wars?"

The Pakistani military has been waging a

deadly fight in the tribal regions against militants

at a cost of about 4,000 soldiers killed. But crit-

ics, especially in the U.S., accuse the army of

going after militants that attack the Pakistani

state while cultivating others that it feels will be

useful someday in Afghanistan.

Still, there is a precedent in Pakistan of

Taliban excesses provoking public outrage,

which the military has then capitalized on to

move against the militants.

In 2009, after a video surfaced of militants

publicly whipping a woman, purportedly in the

Swat Valley, triggered a wave of public revul-

sion, the army felt empowered enough to launch

a major offensive against the Taliban in the area.

Government forces flushed the militants out of

the scenic valley, but failed to capture or kill the

movement's senior leaders.

coordinating a soft revolution to unseat theIslamic Republic," said Suzanne Maloney, anIranian affairs expert at the Brookings Institutionin Washington.

Part of Iran's counterstrategy appears to be akind of information overload in response to U.S.initiatives, such as the State Department'slaunch last year of a "virtual embassy" in Englishand Farsi that seeks to reach out to ordinaryIranians. The site was quickly blocked by Iranianauthorities, but firewall bypasses such as proxyservers are widely used by Iran's young andtech-skilled population.

"There is probably an element of mimicry hereas well," said Maloney. "The Iranians enjoy turn-ing the table on Washington and imitatingAmerican tactics."

Last week, a U.S. broadcast oversight boardaccused Iran of jamming regional radio and tele-vision programming that includes the Persianservices for the Voice of America and the BBC.And on Monday - two days after the website waslaunched - Iran's Intelligence Minister HeidarMoslehi claimed that Iran's secret services havethe upper hand in the Web war with the West.

"The intelligence apparatus confronts enemymeasures in the cyber front," the official IRNAnews agency quoted Moslehi as saying.

The intelligence minister was at the center ofone of Iran's most public political feuds.Khamenei last year demanded Moslehi keep thepost despite objections from Ahmadinejad, whowas so angered that he boycotted governmentmeetings for more than a week. In response, theruling clerics arrested dozens of Ahmadinejad'sallies and left him politically weakened enteringhis final year in office.

A journalist at Tehran's moderate Shargh news-paper, Soroush Farhadian, interprets the newwebsite as an effort by intelligence agency togain its own voice.

"One of the objectives is to demonstrate its inde-pendent position rather than speaking throughthe semiofficial news agencies," he said.

There is also a potential for touches of candoramid the high-voltage propaganda. One articleappears to buck the official line that sanctions onIran's oil exports are meaningless. It notes Iranhas "paid heavy costs" in its showdown with theWest.

"On the one hand, Iran has faced problems witha cut in its main source of revenue. On the otherhand, the West has taken all measures to forceIran to give up its nuclear program," the postsaid. "Despite all the costs suffered by the Westto stop Iran's nuclear program, the IslamicRepublic has continued its path and the Westhas failed."

VIENNA (AP) -- Iran could produce enough

weapons-grade uranium to arm a nuclear bomb

within two to four months but would still face seri-

ous "engineering challenges" - and much longer

delays - before it succeeds in making the other com-

ponents needed for a functioning warhead, a respect-

ed U.S. think tank said Monday.

While Iran denies any interest in possessing

nuclear arms, the international community fears it

may turn its peaceful uranium enrichment program

toward weapons making - a concern that is growing

as Tehran expands the number of machines it uses to

enrich its stockpile of enriched uranium. As those

fears grow, so does concern that Israel could carry

out its threats to attack Iran's nuclear facilities before

that nation reaches the bomb-making threshold.

In a strident call for an internationally drawn

"red line" on what he said is Iran's move toward

nuclear arms, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu said on Sept. 28 that the world has until

next summer at the latest to stop Tehran before it can

build an atomic bomb. Flashing a diagram of a car-

toon-like bomb before the U.N. General Assembly,

Netanyahu said Iran is ready to move to the "final

stage" of making such a weapon by then.

For now, U.S. military and intelligence officials

say they don't believe Iran's leadership has made the

decision to build a bomb, while also warning that the

country is moving closer to the ability to do so.

The Institute for Science and International

Security did not make a judgment on whether Iran

plans to turn its enrichment capabilities toward

weapons making. But in its report made available to

The Associated Press ahead of publication Monday,

it drew a clear distinction between Tehran's ability to

make the fissile core of a warhead by producing 25

kilograms (55 pounds) of weapons-grade uranium

from its lower enriched stockpiles and the warhead

itself.

"Despite work it may have done in the past,"

Iran would need "many additional months to manu-

facture a nuclear device suitable for underground

testing and even longer to make a reliable warhead

for a ballistic missile," the report said.

Beside its payload of weapons grade uranium, a

nuclear warhead also needs to have a complicated

trigger mechanism that sets off a chain reaction in

the weapons grade uranium - the fissile core of such

a weapon - resulting in the high-power blast and

widespread radiation characteristic of such

weapons. While the International Atomic Energy

Agency says Iran may have worked secretly on test-

ing such a nuclear trigger, Iran vehemently denies

any nuclear weapons experiments.

Additionally, ISIS - which often advises

Congress and other branches of U.S. government on

Iran's nuclear program - said any attempt to "break

out" into weapons-grade uranium enrichment would

be quickly detected by the United States and the

IAEA, which monitors Tehran's known enrichment

sites. With Washington likely to "respond forcefully

to any "break-out" attempt, Iran is unlikely to take

such a risk "during the next year or so," said the

report.

Still, the report suggested a narrowing window

as Iran positions itself to increase enrichment.

Iran now has more than 10,000 centrifuges

enriching uranium at its main plant at Natanz, 225

kilometers (140 miles) southeast of Tehran, making

low-level material. Additionally it has about 800

machines turning out 20 percent enriched uranium at

Fordo, a bunkered structure fortified against an air

attack near the holy city of Qom, as well as about

2,000 more installed but not yet running.

Uranium enriched to 20 percent can be turned

into weapons-grade material much more quickly

than low-enriched uranium. If the centrifuges at

Fordo, which are now idle, also start operating and

are used to make 20 percent material, Iran - using its

total enrichment output of low and higher grade ura-

nium - could produce enough weapons-grade urani-

um for a warhead within three or four weeks, said

the summary.

Olli Heinonen, who stepped down as the IAEA's

deputy director general in charge of the Iran file in

2010, said the Institute for Science and International

Security report contains "good and technically

sound estimates."

He said Fordo will nearly double its production

capacity of 20 percent enriched uranium to up to 30

kilograms (more than 60 pounds) a month, if and

when all the machines there are operating.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Extreme athleteFelix Baumgartner hopes to make a secondattempt at a supersonic skydive over New Mexicoon Sunday or Monday.

Baumgartner aborted his mission Tuesday due tohigh winds, and his team had hoped the weatherThursday would allow him another try then. Butnow they're looking at the next break in weatherbeing Sunday or Monday.

Baumgartner is hoping to become the first skydiverto break the sound barrier by jumping from a cap-sule floated 23 miles into the stratosphere by 55-story helium balloon.

The jump was postponed due to wind Monday,then aborted at the last minute because of windgusts Tuesday.

The balloon is so delicate that it can take off only ifwinds on the ground are 2 mph or less.
