 The knife-wielding man shot to death by police in a daylight confrontation that was caught on videotape (watch raw video) had a long arrest record, the police chief said Wednesday. Anthony Hayes, 38, was shot Monday after allegedly lunging at police with a 3-inch blade. Part of Hayes' confrontation with 18 officers, though not the shooting itself, was videotaped by at least three bystanders. Hayes is seen waving his arms and brandishing the knife. Police Superintendent Warren Riley said Hayes had a long record, but he wouldn't give details.

| Israel Tells Gazans to Flee Before Cells Are Targeted |
The Israeli army told Palestinians to leave part of the northern Gaza Strip by nightfall as it prepares to strike at militants launching rockets from the area. ``The Israel Defense Forces intends to step up its activities against rocket-launching terror cells in the northern Gaza Strip,'' the army said in an e-mailed statement. ``The IDF will allow the Palestinian population a number of hours in order to get organized.'' An earlier warning to Palestinian residents, delivered in airdropped leaflets, said they had until 6 p.m. local time to leave a specified zone, which was covered by three Israeli settlements until Prime Minister Ariel Sharon evacuated them in September. Palestinian groups have since used the area to launch home-made Qassam missiles into Israel. ...

| Former Top Enron Accountant Strikes Plea Deal, Potentially Aiding Government Case |
A prime defendant in the Enron Corp. criminal trial has struck a plea deal with prosecutors, potentially bolstering the government's case against company founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Richard Causey was expected to plead guilty Wednesday afternoon to one or more of the 34 criminal charges pending against him, this person told The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the discussions. Causey agreed to testify against his former bosses in exchange for a leaner prison sentence than he would have received if convicted on all counts. The trial is scheduled to begin next month, but a delay is likely to give defense attorneys more time to prepare for the new witness....

An inmate in a Baghdad prison grabbed an assault rifle from a guard Wednesday and opened fire, killing eight people, the Interior Ministry said. One American soldier was injured in the attempted prison break, the U.S. military said. The prisoner fired indiscriminately after grabbing an AK-47, killing four guards and four inmates, said Iraqi army Brig. Gen. Jalil al-Mehamadawi. The Interior Ministry said one guard and three prisoners were wounded. The U.S. military's account was slightly different. A statement by Sgt. Keith Robinson said "it was reported that 16 prisoners attempted to escape the facility after first storming the armory and obtaining an undetermined number of weapons." Robinson said in addition to the eight deaths that one U.S. soldier and five prisoners were injured. ...

No other discipline was recommended.Other judges have had their law licenses suspended following such a conviction, but the panel said those cases had aggravating circumstances, while Resnick has had no discipline against her since she was sworn in as an attorney in 1964.Resnick, 66, acknowledged the allegations when an attorney discipline complaint was filed against her in November.
