KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- A land mine killed a Navy SEAL and injured another Thursday during a training mission near the U.S. base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.

Chief Petty Officer Matthew J. Bourgeois, 35, of Tallahassee, Fla., died in the 8:30 a.m. accident while his unit was training at the remote site, according to a Defense Department statement. The other SEAL's injuries were not life-threatening. Bourgeois, a 14-year Navy and SEAL veteran, left a wife and 7-month-old son, said Lt. Cmdr. Denise Shorey, a spokeswoman at the Little Creek Amphibious Base in Norfolk, Va. She did not identify the other SEAL.

Shorey said the mine had apparently been placed by "the enemy," meaning Taliban or al-Qaida, but it was unclear when it was planted.

Archbishop quits after misconduct allegations

WARSAW, Poland -- An archbishop who was one of the few Poles at the Vatican when John Paul II became pope announced his resignation Thursday, the highest-ranking prelate to be brought down in a spate of sexual harassment allegations shaking the Roman Catholic Church.

Archbishop Juliusz Paetz of Poznan, an appointee and longtime acquaintance of the only Polish pope in history, stepped down amid a mounting scandal in the overwhelmingly Catholic country over accusations that he made sexual advances on young clerics.

At a Mass at Poznan's cathedral, Paetz said he was resigning "for the good of the church" but protested his innocence, saying that "my kindness and spontaneity were misinterpreted."

French shooting suspect jumps to his death

PARIS -- The man who killed eight officials at a city council meeting jumped to his death from a police station window Thursday, shocking an already reeling nation and angering those who wanted to see him face trial.

The death of Richard Durn raised questions in France about how such a deeply disturbed man was able to obtain semiautomatic pistols and keep them even though his gun license had expired. The violent deaths jolted a nation trying to grapple with rising crime -- already a focus of the presidential campaign.

President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, both contenders in the presidential election less than a month away, made pre-dawn visits to Nanterre after the killings at the city hall there.

Pakistanis arrest dozens of al-Qaida suspects

FAISALABAD, Pakistan -- Police raided Islamic extremist hide-outs Thursday throughout eastern Pakistan, arresting dozens of suspected al-Qaida members and seizing computers and other materials, officials said.

One person was killed and at least five others, including a policeman, were wounded in the biggest raid, which took place before dawn in this city, about 160 miles south of the capital, Islamabad. The Interior Ministry reported the raids but refused to give details except to confirm the dead and injured in the Faisalabad raid.
