Bomber kills 41 at prayer service KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) A suicide attacker detonated a bomb during an outdoor Islamic prayer service Tuesday, killing at least 41 people and wounding dozens, police said. An angry mob burned cars and threw stones at police, who fired into the air to disperse the crowds, a witness said. The attacker blew himself up while sitting behind leaders of the Sunni Tehrik religious group, one of several Muslim organizations that organized the service in a downtown Karachi park, said police Chief Niaz Siddiqui.

"The bomber used about (11 pounds) of explosives obtained locally, and we have collected his body parts," Siddiqui told The Associated Press. Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao told The Associated Press that at least 40 people were killed; officials at three Karachi hospitals later said they received the bodies of 41 people. Scenes of mass confusion broke out after the explosion in the park, where hundreds of people had gathered for the Sunni Muslim prayer service.

(AP Photo) Iran admits enriching uranium TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Iran's hard-line president said Tuesday that the country "has joined the club of nuclear countries" by successfully enriching uranium for the first time a key process in what Iran maintains is a peaceful energy program. The announcement from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was certain to heighten international tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program.

The U.N. Security Council has demanded that Iran stop all enrichment by April 28 because of suspicions the program is designed to make nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad warned the West that trying to force it to abandon uranium enrichment would "cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, was heading to Iran on Wednesday for talks aimed at resolving the standoff. The timing of the announcement suggested Iran wanted to present him with a fait accompli and argue that it cannot be expected to entirely give up a program showing progress.

Former president Hashemi Rafsanjani, a powerful member of Iran's ruling clerical regime, said the breakthrough means ElBaradei "faces new circumstances." The White House, which is pressing for U.N. sanctions against Iran, said the enrichment claims "show that Iran is moving in the wrong direction." "Defiant statements and actions only further isolate the regime from the rest of the world," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. Britain's Foreign Office issued a statement reiterating the U.N. call for a halt to enrichment work and warned that "if Iran does not comply, the Security Council will revisit the issue." The Iranian enrichment announcement "is not particularly helpful," it said. Uranium enrichment can produce either fuel for a nuclear energy reactor as Iran says it seeks or the material needed for an atomic warhead.

Tuesday's announcement does not mean Iran is immediately capable of doing either. So far it has succeeded only in getting a series of 164 centrifuges to work in the enrichment process. Thousands of centrifuges are needed for a workable program. But successfully carrying out the highly complicated and delicate process even on a small scale would be a breakthrough, and Iran's nuclear chief said the program would be expanded to 3,000 centrifuges by the end of the year. Ahmadinejad announced it at a nationally televised ceremony clearly aimed at drumming up popular Iranian support for the nuclear program.

Center-left coalition wins in Italy ROME (AP) Challenger Romano Prodi's center-left coalition won a narrow victory in the Italian parliamentary election, official results showed Tuesday, but Conservative Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi refused to concede defeat. The Interior Ministry assigned Prodi's coalition an unwieldy alliance ranging from Catholics to communists four Senate seats chosen by Italians voting abroad, giving him the margin he needs to win both houses of Italy's parliament. Berlusconi said the overseas vote that decided the final Senate seats was far from decided, and there were "many irregularities and it's possible that we won't be able to confirm that it has been a valid vote."
