Heartbreak for family in wake of 2 twisters Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas. Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said Israel is concerned that the money including customs fees and taxes collected by Israel on behalf of Palestinians could be used to benefit Hamas if the militant group announces a joint government with Fatah as expected this week. Hamas refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist, or to renounce the use of violence. McCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS Key piece of data recorder found PARIS French accident investigators said Sunday that they had retrieved a key component from one of the flight recorders of an Air France jet that crashed in the mid-Atlantic almost two years ago, reviving hopes that it could help explain why the plane went down. France's Bureau of Investigations and Analysis said the memory unit of the flight data recorder was found early Sunday and brought to the surface, although it will be more than a week before it can be examined.

New Democrats may beat Liberals OTTAWA When Canada's government collapsed in March, setting in motion a federal election to be held Monday, the timing looked especially bleak for the New Democrats, the perennial third-place party. Its leader, Jack Layton, was undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Emergency hip surgery, unrelated to the cancer, has left him hobbling around campaign stops with a cane. But to the surprise of most Canadians, including the New Democrats, all publicly available election polls in Canada over the past week have shown the party leaping over the Liberals to become the second most popular party in Canada and quickly gaining strength.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WORLD BRIEFS Iran's president backs down TEHRAN, Iran Iranian President Mahmoud Ahma-dinejad signaled Sunday that he had backed down in a power struggle with Iran's supreme leader by ending his apparent boycott of Cabinet meetings and accusing the U.S.

and Israel of exaggerating internal rifts. The president's challenge to the ultimate authority of Supreme Leader Ayatollah AN Khamenei earned him public rebukes from Mr. Khamenei himself as well as lawmakers and hard-line clerics, who regard the supreme leader as answerable only to God. The split between the men appeared to be centered on a battle for influence over next year's parliamentary election and a presidential election in 2013. ASSOCIATED PRESS 1,400 murdered in April in Mexico MEXICO CITY The drug-war death toll for Mexico in April was 1,400, the highest of any month since the Mexican government began its war on illicit drug trade four years ago.

The previous high was 1,322 in August 2010, the daily newspaper Milenio reported Sunday. Most of the murders in April occurred in northern Mexico, reflecting the trend of recent months as drug cartels battle each other over drug and migrant routes. An estimated 450 of the dead were found in mass graves, where the cartels try to conceal their grisly harvests. Israel blocks Palestinian money JERUSALEM Israel said Sunday that it is delaying the transfer of about $89 million in tax revenue belonging to the Palestinian Authority, the latest sign of souring relations in connection with a proposed unity government between rival 1 i BY CHRIS HAWLEY ASSOCIATED PRESS PISGAH, Ala. The tornadoes followed each other as if guided by rails, three times over 10 terrifying hours, straight at the little cluster of homes where Joseph Wayne Haney and his relatives lived.

The first crushed Mr. Haney's wife to death under a piano. The second twisted menacingly overhead but didn't touch down. And the third, a true monster, blew the neighborhood to pieces, killing two more of his kin. On a day that sowed heartbreak throughout the South, this close-knit family received more than its share of the sky's rage.

"It came back," Mr. Haney said, blinking back tears outside a funeral home on Saturday "It came back the same path, and it killed more." In Pisgah, like elsewhere, it happened with blinding speed. Mr. Haney was asleep in the living room recliner when his wife, Kathy Gray Haney woke him. "She said, 'I think there's a CHRIS HAWLEY ASSOCIATED PRESS With tornado-damaged trees in the background, relatives of Kathy Gray Haney gather near the grave Saturday after her burial in Pisgah, Ala.

Mr. Haney said. 'And just as she said the word it hit us." Their mobile home heaved into the air and slammed into a line of trees. Their piano landed on the couple, and the rest of the house collapsed on top of it. The family Bible landed next to them.

As the wind screamed, Mr. Haney said, he wrapped his arms around his wife's legs and tried to pull her to him. "She said 'Honey I love you, and I'm Mr. Haney said. This week was supposed to be a joyous one for the Haneys and their extended family Their niece, Whitney Lawhorn, was getting married today and the whole family was invited.

The Haneys themselves had been married 23 years. They met at a dance at the VFW hall and tied the knot just six months later..
