fused, authorities would have
been required to charge Adams
or release him Friday night, two
days after his arrest in the ab-
duction, slaying and secret buri-

could be extended with judicial
permission.
Washington
Leaders warn Putin
not to disrupt vote
President Barack Obama
and German Chancellor Angela
Merkel threatened tough sanc-
tions Friday on broad swaths of
Russia’s economy if Moscow dis-
rupts Ukraine’s May 25 presi-
dential elections, putting Presi-
dent Vladimir Putin on notice
for harsher penalties even if he
stops short of a full invasion.
Standing side by side in the
White House Rose Garden,
Obama and Merkel sought to
bat down the notion of any dis-
cord between the U.S and Euro-
pean approaches to dissuading
Putin from interfering in
Ukraine. Obama said the U.S.
and Europe have shown “re-
markable unity” in their re-
sponse so far, though he ac-
knowledged that some Europe-
an countries are vulnerable to
Russian retaliation for sanctions
and said those concerns must be
taken into account.
“The next step is going to be a
broader-based sectoral sanc-
tions regime,” Obama declared,
referring to entire segments of
Russia’s economy, such as ener-
gy or arms.

The Ukrainian Security Ser-
vice said one helicopter was

missile, adding that the sophis-
ticated weapon undercut Rus-
sia’s claims the city of 125,000
people was simply under the
control of armed locals.
“Ukrainian security forces so
far are not ready for large-scale
military actions; moreover, such
actions could provoke Russia’s
invasion,” said Kiev-based politi-
cal analyst Volodymyr Fesenko.
Russia has massed tens of
thousands of troops in areas
near Ukraine’s border. Kiev
claims Moscow is preparing to
invade and that it is fomenting
the unrest in the east, where in-
surgents have seized govern-
ment buildings in about a dozen
cities and towns. The Kremlin
denies the allegations, but For-
eign Minister Sergey Lavrov has
warned Russia would respond
to attacks on its citizens or inter-
ests in the east.

Kiev said it had lost control of
eastern Ukraine.

bers, while authorities said an-
other seven people also died:
three separatist gunmen, two

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine -
Ukraine launched an offensive
against separatist forces for con-
trol of abesieged eastern city Fri-
day, while clashes between pro-
and anti-government activists in
the previously calm southern
port of Odessa led to a fire that
police said killed 31 people.
The first serious offensive by
the government in Kiev and the
dozens of deaths in Odessa
sharply escalated the crisis that
has led to the worst tensions be-
tween Russia and the West since
the Cold war.

A second Tanana man, Arvin
Kangas, 58, is charged with as-
sault in connection with a
Wednesday incident involving a
village public safety officer. Tan-
ana resident Ruby Cruger said
she is related to the men, and
that the elder Kangas is the fa-
ther of the teenager.
Cruger said she did not know
the details of the shooting, just
that it has affected the entire com-
munity of 238 people. “They are
all shocked,” she said Friday.
Troopers also have released
little information.
The two troopers were occa-
sionally featured on the Nation-
al Geographic Channel show
Alaska State Troopers, which
features multiple troopers pa-
trolling the state’s wild terrain.
The troopers were not filming at
the time of their deaths. Filming
in the fifth season is currently
being done with other troopers.

an analyst with the Eurasia
group in London.
A government seizure of
Homs would be “the icing on the
cake for Assad,” said Charles
Lister, a visiting fellow at Brook-
ings Doha Center.
Although the agreement, if it
holds, represents a demoralizing
admission of defeat by opposi-
tion forces, it can also be seen as
a face-saving deal for both sides.
Weakened rebels, for whom
Homs’ collapse was only a mat-

the government can save man-

bastions without blood.
The Syrian government can
now declare a victory of sorts by
claiming control over two of the
country’s largest cities — Homs
and Damascus — as well as the
Mediterranean coast, Assad’s
ancestral heartland. But Assad
has lost control over large
swaths of territory, particularly
in the north, and continues to
rule over a divided country with

HOMS, Syria — Isolated and
battered after months of bom-
bardment and blockades, Syrian
rebels agreed Friday to a cease-
fire that would allow hundreds
of fighters to evacuate their last
bastions in Homs, handing over
to President Bashar Assad’s
forces a strategic but largely
destroyed city once hailed as the
capital of the revolution.
The deal reached on Homs,
Syria’s third-largest city, follows
a series of military gains by the
regime around the capital, Da-
mascus, and in the country’s vi-
tal center.
“It will certainly mark a new
chapter for the regime, a chapter
