Turkish police detain suspect in bishop’s killing
ANKARA, Turkey — A Turkish official says police have detained a man suspected of stabbing a Roman Catholic bishop to death in southern Turkey.
Luigi Padovese, the pope’s apostolic vicar in Anatolia, was attacked Thursday in his home in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderun.
Gov. Mehmet Celalettin Lekesiz says the suspect is the bishop’s driver who worked for him for the past four and a half years. He was identified by police only as Murat A.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A Roman Catholic bishop has been stabbed to death in southern Turkey, the state-run news agency reported.
Luigi Padovese, the pope’s apostolic vicar in Anatolia, was attacked in his home in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderun, the Anatolia news agency reported. There was no immediate confirmation from the Vatican.
Private NTV television quoted police as saying the priest’s driver is suspected in the killing, but it did not say if the driver had been arrested. The station said the priest died in a hospital.
The killing is the latest in a string of attacks in recent years on Christians in Turkey, where Christians make up less than 1 percent of the 70 million population.
In 2007, a Roman Catholic priest in the western city of Izmir, Adriano Franchini, was stabbed and slightly wounded in the stomach by a 19-year-old after Sunday Mass. The young man was arrested.
The same year, a group of men entered a Bible-publishing house in the central Anatolian city of Malatya and killed three Christians, including a German national. The five alleged killers are now standing trial for murder.
The killings — in which the victims were tied up and had their throats slit — drew international condemnation and added to Western concerns about whether Turkey can protect its religious minorities.
Anatolia news agency says Luigi Padovese was stabbed in his home in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderun.
Padovese is the pope’s apostolic vicar in Anatolia.
In 2006, amid widespread anger in Islamic countries over the publication in European newspapers of caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, a 16-year-old boy shot dead a Catholic priest, Father Andrea Santoro, as he prayed in his church in the Black Sea city of Trabzon. The boy was convicted of murder and sentenced to 18 years in prison.Governor Lekesiz said to Turkish media “We know Padovese very closely, his death is very upsetting. The assailant has been caught with the murder weapon. From initial investigation, the attack is not related to politics. We have found out that the assailant has psychological problems and was taking treatment. It looks as though the murder of Padovese was a personal matter. The incident is being investigated thoroughly.”
oil spill florida

The BP oil spill has already done tremendous economic damage to the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The spill has left thousands of fisherman without work and caused a significant down trend for the tourism industry along the Gulf Coast. While the suffering of those populations is significant by itself, the oil spill’s impact on Florida could ultimately have to most political and economic impact.
Florida plays a key role in the Untied States economy. In 2005, Florida had a GDP of $670 billion, making it the fourth largest economy in the United States. In comparison, Louisiana had a GDP of just $169 billion in 2005. Much of Florida’s economy is dependent on tourism, but if oil cover Floridian beaches it could endanger an economy that has already suffered from the recent depression.
Politically Florida holds even more significance. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are all Republican strongholds. Together they account for 24 electoral votes. Oil spill or not, President Obama was likely going to lose all three states in 2012. In addition, Democrats had little chance of gaining any congressional seats in these states. On the the hand Florida, with its 27 electoral votes, is very important for any presidential hopeful. 
Florida has played a key role in both the 2000 and 2004 elections. President Obama lost the state in 2008, but not be able to afford losing the state again in 2012. Democrats are also competing for a key Senate seat in Florida in the upcoming 2010 midterms. Whichever party gets blamed for the oil spill disaster is likely to suffer politically in Florida for a very long time.
Meanwhile, BP’s latest effort to stop the massive oil leak suffered a setback Wednesday when the diamond-edge saw being used to cut off the broken pipe got stuck. It took hours to free it, and the company is now using shears to cut the pipe.
Officials say this will mean the cut will not be as clean as had been hoped, and it will require installation of a looser-fitting containment device, known as a top hat.
Florida’s fishing industries and communities weather adverse impacts of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Specifically, the governor has requested that the U.S. Commerce Department take action under federal law to provide aid to commercial fishermen, charter boat operators and coastal fishing communities.
“The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has been consulting with our fishing industry stakeholders very closely over the past several weeks,” said FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto. “They are telling us they are struggling to stay afloat even though fishing is still open in Florida and seafood is still being harvested.”
The oil spill has already entered the loop current that will take it past the shores of Florida, including the Tampa Bay area.
USA Today reports that “the danger posed by the Gulf oil spill to the U.S. food supply is worse than previously thought, and could make testing of seafood necessary for decades to come, officials and scientists say.”
Acting director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service Rowan Gould added another disturbing problem to the deadly oil mix. He said, the spill “will affect the Gulf, and possibly the entire North American region, for maybe years, if not decades.
