Associated Press A page from the daily planner that belonged to Eric Hauls, one of the Columbine High School killers, includes a diagram of how to hide weapons. Journal shows killers planned bigger attack The Columbine shooters plotted a year before. By The Associated Press DENVER A journal written by Columbine High School killer Eric Harris indicates he and Dylan Kiebold had hoped to carry out an even bigger attack, starting by killing the family of a sometimes friend he once threat ened. Brooks Brown and his family were left untouched by the killers in the April 20, 1999, attack. Harris also had hoped they would learn enough about bombs to be able to set off hundreds around houses, roads, bridges and gas stations, a newly disclosed diary indi cates. • "It'll be like the LA riots, the Okla homa bombing, WWII, Vietnam, Duke and Doom all mixed together.... I want to leave a lasting impression on the world," he wrote. Duke Nukem and Doom are video games. Remarking on the slim possibility that he and Klebold would survive, Harris wrote ,the two would try to escape to a foreign country where they couldn't be extraclited. "If there isn't such place then we will hijack a hell of a lot of bombs and crash a plane into NYC with us inside (f)iring away as we go down. just something to cause more devistation."

The pages, written about a year before their attack, appeared on the weekly newspaper Westword's Web site and were reported in yesterday's editions of the Rocky Mountain News. They were never released by the Jefferson County sheriff's office. When a judge ordered the office to release thousands of documents connected with the case, he ordered that the newly published documents be exclud ed, sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Tall man said. "Pursuant to the court order, the judge made it very clear that we were not to release these materials," Tall man said. Westword writer Alan Prendergast would not say how he obtained the doc uments. Tallman said they appeared authentic. "I have not had an opportunity to look at it page for page but some of what I have viewed does appear to be a duplicate of the information we have," she said. Victims' families said the pages raised new questions about whether the attack that left 15 dead and two dozen more wounded could have been prevented.

A fugitive suspected of mailing hundreds of fake anthrax letters to abortion clinics was captured by federal authorities yester day. FBI officials said Clayton Lee Waagn er was caught in the Cincinnati area. Apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Ser vice, he was among the FBl's 10 most wanted fugitives.

As a military man, Charles Frank Burlingame HI made sure that his parents had a rest ing place at Arlington National Ceme tery. But getting a space for him has been a struggle, even though he died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Burlingame, 51, was the pilot aboard the American Airlines jet that terrorists hijacked and crashed into the Penta gon. He flew Navy jets for eight years, served several tours at the Navy's elite Top Gun school and spent 17 years in the Naval Reserve. He also died before age 60 and thus does not qualify for his own sepa rate grave at the storied national ceme tery. Army officials said yesterday that Burlingame could be buried alongside his parents, or his cremated remains could be interred in the cemetery's Columbarium; with an inscribed plaque.

A series of &ad-wanted-fugitive pic tures was displayed at the ceremony, and Ashcroft exclaimed, "I'm pleased to say that, no sooner does Ben take over the U.S. Marshals Service ... we can write across the face of that poster, Apprehended!' " "Clayton Lee Waagner is hi the cus of the U.S. Marshals Service. You i ow something, in those good hands, I have to tell you, that the United States is a safer and more secure place.

It also means Burlingame's name will be placed on the back of the family plot marker. Cremation was never an option, "whether he was at Arlington or some other place," said his brother, Brad Burlingame. The family says the FBI concluded that Burlingame died of injuries sus tained before the plane hit the Penta gon obviously a fight for his country. They want President Bush to intervene so Burlingame can, in death, receive honors that befit the way he gave his life. "My brother died in combat with ter rorists," said Brad Burlingame. "His burial treatment would be no different if he had died on his couch in his living room. Sept. 11th has played zero role in their decision." Sen. George Allen, R-Va., asked Bush yesterday to sign a waiver allowing a burial plot for Burlingame, who lived in nearby Herndon, Va. It was a personal request made in a phone call to a top Bush aide, said Allen spokeswoman Carrie Cantrell. Wait too long to schedule classes?

But the White House was trying to stay out of the dispute. Presidential spokesman Ari Fleischer said yester day that this, like all other space man agement issues at Arlington, was for the Army to sort out. "Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place where countless numbers of Americans want to be buried.
