Four people were hurt when an explosion tore through a church basement in Clifton during an Easter service. About 200 worshipers fled as windows blew out and cars nearby were showered with glass. A portion of the floor collapsed and pews dropped into the basement. Police and fire officials cited a gas leak as the apparent cause.

Easter brings light after Gulf War shadow, Pope says
Pope John Paul II urged world leaders to seek peaceful solutions in his Easter address at St Peter's Square. He spoke of a world shadowed by the Gulf War and called for compassion toward Palestinians and Kurds, praising Albanian Catholics and noting unrest in Germany and Jerusalem. Col. James Bluett led seven Masses for troops near Kuwait as U.S. forces stay in the region.
