PLANE SCARE
Qatar diplomat leaves the U.S.
A diplomat from Qatar who caused a security scare on board a Denver-bound airliner has left the United States, a State Depart- ment official said. Mohammed al-Madadi depart- ed on a flight out of the country late Friday night, according to the official, who spoke on the condi- tion of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. On Wednesday, Madadi slipped into the bathroom of the plane for a cigarette and after be- ing caught joked about trying to set his shoe on fire — an apparent reference to would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid. The diplomat was flying from
Washington to meet imprisoned al-Qaida sleeper agent Ali al-Mar- ri for a routine consular visit.

SHOE BOMBER CASE
Subduer sworn in as a U.S. citizen
Kwame James, the man who helped subdue would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid on a trans- Atlantic flight nearly 10 years ago, has been sworn in as a U.S. citizen. James was sworn in Thursday
after going through years of red tape. He was born in Canada and grew up in Trinidad. In 2001, the 6-foot-8 James was napping on a flight from Paris to Miami when a flight attendant woke him and asked him to help. Ten rows back, Reid was scuffling with attendants and passengers after trying to light explosives in his shoes. James returned to the United
States on a tourist visa shortly af- ter the incident and eventually became a permanent resident.

WASHINGTON STATE
Center kept open to avert E. coli spread
Local health officials say they
didn’t close down a Washington state day care even after four chil- dren were hospitalized with a deadly strain of E. coli because of concerns the infection would spread. A 4-year-old boy died after be- ing infected at the Vancouver, Wash., center, and three other children were sickened. The first case was reported March 19; the child’s death was reported Friday. Clark County health officer Al-
an Melnick said he didn’t close the center until April 2 because he worried parents would take their children to other day cares and risk exposing others. Melnick closed the business after tests showed seven more children and staff with no symptoms tested positive for the E. coli strain.

Elephant that killed worker was shocked by wire: A circus ele-
phant that kicked a worker and killed him before a performance in Pennsylvania on Friday was shocked by an electrical wire, au- thorities said. The groomer was trying to get the animal away from the wire when he was in- jured, police said. After the acci- dent, the African elephant, Dum- bo, was calm and responded to a trainer’s commands, police said.
Ex-Cuban political prisoner ar-
rives in N.J.: A former Cuban po- litical prisoner and his human rights activist wife arrived in New Jersey on Friday, a day after Cuban officials let them leave un- der pressure from Spain. Nelson Aguiar Ramirez, 64, was among 75 opponents of Fidel Castro’s re- gime rounded up in 2003 by secu- rity forces. His wife, Dolia Leal, 64, is a founder of the Ladies in White.
