Fort Pierce, Florida - Hurricane Jeanne has peeled off roofs, snapped power lines and left large swaths of coastline knee-deep in sea and rain water as it ploughed through parts of Florida already scarred by Hurricane Frances three weeks ago. Damascus - A bomb killed a Hamas official in Damascus on Sunday when it tore through his car. Israel's Channel Two television said Israel was behind the death and the Palestinian militant group vowed revenge. Washington - Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday said anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world had increased and the insurgency in Iraq was worsening, but the United States was taking action to improve security ahead of elections. Afghanistan and Iraq, where U.S.-led military forces toppled the former leadership, both plan to hold elections in the next several months. "We have seen an increase in anti-Americanism in the Muslim world ... I'm not denying this," Powell said on ABC's "This Week" program. Tehran - Iran has assured the world again that it has no immediate plans to resume uranium enrichment, a process that can be used to develop nuclear weapons. "Resuming uranium enrichment is not in our agenda. We are still committed to the suspension," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a weekly news conference on Sunday.
