New sentencing for Ressam set for Dec. 3
Would-be millennium bomber Ahmed Ressam is coming back to court.
Seattle
Would-be millennium bomber Ahmed Ressam is coming back to court.
U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour set a resentencing hearing for Dec. 3 in Seattle.
The judge sentenced Ressam to 22 years in prison in 2005, after the Algerian national was convicted of plotting to bomb Los Angeles International Airport around Jan. 1, 2000.
Customs agents in Port Angeles caught him with explosives in the trunk of his rental car in December 1999.
Both Ressam and the government appealed — with Ressam's lawyers saying he was improperly convicted on one count, and the Justice Department saying his sentence was unreasonably short. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the conviction in May, and now the case has come back to Coughenour, who must sentence Ressam anew after calculating the guideline range for his offenses.
Tacoma
Man is charged in pipe-bomb case
A man who suffered a broken leg in a five-vehicle car crash last week now has more serious problems: He's facing charges in federal court.
Cole Riley Satran of Belfair was in a car crash near Bremerton that killed one person last Thursday morning. The State Patrol found a black bag containing a pipe bomb and a can of gunpowder under his overturned vehicle.
Federal prosecutors charged Satran on Tuesday with possession of an unregistered destructive device and with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Agents found two rifles at his home, and they say he wasn't allowed to have either because he was convicted in February of a felony drug charge.

Two teens hit by car in North Seattle
Two teenagers running through traffic to catch a bus were hit by a car near North 85th Street and Greenwood Avenue North at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday, a Seattle Police Department spokesman said.
The young men were taken to a hospital, said Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick.
One teen was conscious and sitting up, she said. The other was initially unconscious but regained consciousness.
Seattle police blocked off the intersection except for one eastbound lane of North 85th Street, said spokesman Mark Jamieson.
"It's not a hit-and-run," Jamieson said. "It's an accident investigation."

Woman charged in boyfriend's death
A Grayland woman accused of killing her boyfriend by putting an overdose of an anti-anxiety drug in his drink has been charged with murder.

Scientists on cutter to return from Arctic
About 50 scientists who spent the past four months studying ecosystems in the Arctic will arrive at Pier 36 in Seattle 9 a.m. today aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy.
The 420-foot Healy, the nation's newest and largest polar icebreaker, will undergo maintenance in Seattle to prepare for next year's mission, said Coast Guard Ensign Tara Schendorf in a news release.
The cutter's crew of 80 worked with the scientists to study ecosystems in the Bering Sea, the Arctic Ocean and the Extended Continental Shelf.
More information about the Healy's scientific missions can be found at http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/cgchealy and http://www.icefloe.net.
Centralia
Manager of home arrested in sex case
The manager of a Centralia group home for disabled adults has been accused of sexual contact with 15-year-old boys at the home.
Police say none of the victims are residents of the home.
The man was arrested Monday after a monthlong investigation. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail for investigation of child rape and molestation.
Chelan
Hunter sitting in truck is fatally shot
A hunter sitting in a pickup in Chelan County was killed by a bullet that passed through a metal gate and fragmented before piercing the truck window.
County officials say Timothy Neal Cook was hit in the neck by a bullet fragment Sunday and died instantly. The 36-year-old Port Angeles man was with two other deer hunters seven miles west of Chelan.
The shot was fired by a Lynnwood hunter who was trying to unload rounds from his bolt-action rifle when it went off.
Federal Way
Man charged in attack near center
A 19-year-old man accused of stabbing another man near the Federal Way Transit Center last month has been charged with second-degree assault.
Harold Donald Jr.is accused of fighting with Muse Sugulle, 30, after getting on a bus at the transit center shortly before 5 a.m. on Sept. 30. The driver ordered the men "to take it off the bus," according to charging documents filed in King County Superior Court on Monday.
After the two men left the bus the driver said he saw Donald making a "stabbing motion" toward the victim, court papers said. The driver opened the door after the suspect fled and saw Sugulle collapsed on the ground, according to court papers.
Sugulle, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, told police that Donald attacked him after he declined to give him a cigarette, court papers said. He said he had never seen Donald before.
When Donald was arrested at the transit center on Oct. 9, he was wearing the same pants and backpack that was seen on a surveillance video of the fight, court papers said. The video was taken by a camera on the bus.
Olympia
Port commissioners vote to file civil suits
Protesting Fort Lewis-Iraq war shipments, more than 60 anti-war demonstrators were arrested last November at the Port of Olympia.
Port commissioners are angry the arrests have not yet led to criminal convictions. So commissioners voted Monday to file civil lawsuits against people who block roads, damage public property and interfere with port business.
A member of a protest group, Patty Imani of Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, says it's the port, not protesters, breaking the law by cooperating with what she calls an illegal war in Iraq.
