The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, Ore. The guns that a boy allegedly used to kill his parents and shoot 22 I classmates were bought by a father trying to redirect his son's fascination with weapons into a supervised hobby, friends said Sunday. Kip Kinkel's parents knew of his bomb-making fetish for at least a year before Thursday's shooting in a crowded school cafeteria in which two students were killed, friends said. The 9 mm Glock pistol and rifle Kinkel alleg- edly used in the shootings were bought by his father, Bill Kinkel, said Rod Ruhoff.

Tim McCarthy, the Secret Service agent wounded in the 1981 assassination attempt on PAID ANNOUNCEMENT Information supplied by West Tennessee Funeral Directors Canada's prime minister reportedly fears interaction with Secret Service in view of judge's ruling. The Associated Press I WASHINGTON The Secret Service says a foreign government leader might reconsider how he interacts with agency bodyguards on visits to the United States in light of a judge's ruling that agents can be forced to testify in a grand jury investigation of President Clinton. The leader told agency director Lewis Merletti that he fears his privacy could be jeopardized if agents can be ordered to say in court what they witness, Secret Service spokesman Arnette Heintze said Sunday. Pakistani commandos capture plane by guns and would become uncontrollably angry when denied anything. "I told Bill that raising kids is the toughest thing we'll ever do," Close said.

"And Bill said, 'If we Bill and Faith Kinkel were believed to have been shot to death Wednesday afternoon by their son. Kip is accused of driving their sport utility vehicle to Thurston High School the next day, opening fire in a crowded cafeteria and killing two students. Two other students remain in critical condition. The boy has been charged as an adult under Oregon law with four counts of aggravated murder. As this blue-collar town continued to mourn its loss and recover from the shock Sunday, Kinkel was on suicide watch at a juvenile detention facility, monitored by closed-circuit tiously, because political assassinations are a way of life." The complaint comes after Clinton predicted last week's ruling would have "a chilling effect" on the way presidents conduct themselves around their body-guards.

In the ruling, Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson said Secret Service agents could not remain Clinton silent about the president's activities if called to testify. She noted that agents have testified voluntarily in previous cases and said she was "not convinced that compelling Secret Service personnel to testify before a grand jury regarding evidence of a crime would place presidents in peril." the Baluchistan Students' Federation, a group that has been protesting Pakistan's reported plans to test a nuclear device in that southwestern province. The crew of the Fokker Friendship propeller aircraft had calmed the captors by telling them the plane had crossed into India and was preparing to land in the state of Rajasthan, according to a defense ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Throughout the negotiations the hijackers apparently believed they were in India and a government official posed as Pakistan's ambassador to India to negotiate with them, the state-run news agency said.

Karachi airport officials had said earlier that 38 people were on the plane, but defense ministry officials confirmed 29 aboard, including crew mem Thomas F. Loyd, 72, retired Services for Thomas F. Loyd, 72, will be at 2 p.m. today at First Assembly of God. A cremation is planned.

It was about a year ago when the Kinkels discovered he was downloading bomb-making instructions from the Internet and building bombs, said Kim Scott, a best friend of Kip's sister, Kristin. Police found five sophisticated bombs and 15 other inactive explosive devices in the Kinkel house.

"Somehow, we didn't think it was ever going to turn out to be this serious," Scott said. "Obviously we were wrong." Kip ended his anger-management counseling sessions by convincing his parents they were no longer needed, she said. "They tried to discipline him and they tried to keep him from making more bombs," said Scott, who grew up across the street from the Kinkels. "But at some point, Kristin said, they just pretty much had given up Her ruling also said: "When people act within the law, they do not ordinarily push away those they trust or rely upon for fear that their actions will be reported to a grand jury. It is not at all clear that a president would push Secret Service protection away if he were acting legally or even if he were engaged in personally embarrassing acts.

Such actions are extremely unlikely to become the subject of a grand jury investigation." The Secret Service was called on to protect foreign dignitaries in 1,480 visits last year. "We would have less trust and confidence from the protectee and be pushed out, a couple of feet to a matter of yards," Heintze said. "We think that history has shown that proximity has been, definitely, a factor in previous assassina- hijackers bers. The passengers included five women and two children, Pakistan's state-run news agency said. Negotiators boarded the plane as it sat on the tarmac in Hyderabad and police cordoned off the airport.

Government officials said two of the hijackers were carrying guns and the others had grenades. Pakistan Television said the hijackers had been demanding fuel and safe passage to New Delhi. Defense ministry officials said they also accused the government of ignoring Baluchistan and spending money on nuclear tests. Tensions between Pakistan and India have soared over India's testing of five nuclear devices this month. The two countries have gone to war three times.

Newsweek magazine reports in its issues on newsstands today that the leader is Canada's prime minister, Jean Chretien. Citing unidentified sources, the magazine said a top Chretien aide relayed his boss' concerns to Merletti at a January meeting. An affidavit Merletti filed in special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's investigation of Clinton's alleged affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky said unsolicited concerns about privacy had been raised by an unidentified foreign head of government.

The men had seized the Pakistan International Airlines plane eight hours earlier, but a Pakistan Air Force fighter jet intercepted it and forced it to land in Hyderabad, about 90 miles north of Karachi, its destination.
