Mob, terrorism prosecutor suggested for Chicago post CHICAGO (AP) A veteran federal prosecutor who has won convictions against members of New York's Gambino organized crime family and World Trade Center bombers was recommended Sunday for U.S.

attorney in Chicago. Patrick J. Fitzgerald, 40, cochief of the organized crime and terrorism unit for the U.S. attorney's office in the Southern District of New York, was a darkhorse pick with no known political ties to Illinois. He is no relation to U.S.

Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, who is recommending him to President Bush following long search for a successor to Democratic appointee Scott Lassar as Chicago's top federal prosecutor. If nominated by Bush and confirmed by the Senate, Fitzgerald will inherit command of the investigation into the biggest political scandal in Illinois in decades: massive bribes paid to officials in return for drivers licenses when Gov. George Ryan was secretary of state. The choice of Fitzgerald came as a surprise.

His name was not among several that had figured in months of speculation about who would succeed Lassar, who had served notice he would be leaving no later than Labor Day. Ryan forces have been saying the three year license investigation has dragged on too long and there has been speculation on "He (Patrick Fitzgerald) is well credentialed and has an excellent background. Without knowing him but based on his credentials, he is the type of person who could see this investigation through to the end." Joseph A. Power attorney whether a new U.S. attorney would be as aggressive as Lassar in pursuing it.

Fitzgerald declined to comment on the drivers license scandal or other pending cases when introduced by the senator Sunday at a news conference. The son of Irish immigrants and a graduate of the Harvard Law School, Patrick Fitzgerald said he is neither a Republican nor a Democrat. "I'm an independent," he told reporters. Sen. Fitzgerald said a professional prosecutor with a streak of professional independence was just what he wanted.

The senator said that at the outset of his search he consulted outgoing FBI director Louis Freeh. "I asked Mr. Freeh who in his opinion were the best prosecutors in the country and one of the first names he mentioned was Pat Fitzgerald," the senator said. Patrick Fitzgerald graduated from Harvard's law school one year ahead of Sen. Fitzgerald's wife, Nina.

But aides to the senator said the two apparently had never met while at Harvard. In New York, Fitzgerald has the reputation of a tough, no-nonsense prosecutor who doesn't relish bantering with reporters. He is trusted by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White and was by her side when law enforcement officials gathered the night in July 1996 when TWA Flight 800 burst into flames over Long Island and 230 aboard were killed. In initial reaction, attorney Joseph A.

Power who played a major role in bringing the Illinois drivers-license scandal to light, said the choice "would appear to be "above any criticism from any source." "He (Patrick Fitzgerald) is well credentialed and has an excellent background," Power said. "Without knowing him but based on his credentials, he is the type of person who could see this investigation through to the end." Lassar spokesman Randall Samborn said the U.S. attorney "looks forward to working with him to assure a smooth Brochure to inform officials of stalkers SPRINGFIELD (AP) The Illinois secretary of state police department is creating a new program to teach public officials what to do if they believe they are being stalked or threatened. A new brochure that will be distributed to public officials includes ways to identify signs of stalking, such as unwarranted gifts and threats, and suggests protective tactics and what to do if they are being stalked. The department also is creating the Stalking Threat Assessment Reaction Team, which includes a 24-hour hotline for state officials to call if they feel they are in danger, said Capt.

Mike Pippen, a unit commander with the secretary of state police. "Unfortunately, anyone that's in the public eye runs this risk," Sen. Lisa Madigan, D-Chicago said.
