Najaf: Mahdi Cemetery Battle

Iraqi Olympians Bash Bush
Iraqi soccer players spoke out against President Bush and his latest televised campaign efforts, which feature Iraqi and Afghan national flags waving against Bush’s message: “At this Olympics there will be two more free nations -- and two fewer terrorist regimes.” The team’s move from the soccer arena into the political arena came as an unwelcome surprise to Iraqi players. “Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the presidential campaign,” proclaimed midfielder Salih Sadir. “He can find another way to advertise himself.”
Man Busted Selling Skull on eBay
A California man has been arrested after placing the skeletal remains of a Hawaiian woman on an Internet auction site. Jerry David Hasson tried to sell what he claimed was a 200-year-old skull of a warrior who died on Maui in the 1790s. Hasson was arrested for violating the archaeological Resources Protection Act after an undercover agent with the Bureau of Indian Affairs arranged to buy the remains. An anthropologist has determined the skull belonged to a 50-year-old Polynesian female. Hasson faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
10 Soldiers Die in Suicide Attack
A vehicle packed with explosives was detonated after a suicide attacker sped up to a US military convoy outside Fallujah. The bombing killed seven Marines and three Iraqi solders and marked the deadliest day for American forces in four months. US military officials said the convoy of HMMWV vehicles was targeted on a long, desolate stretch nine miles north of Fallujah. The Marines killed were members of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.
Dave Matthews Band Sued Over Sewage
The state of Illinois has filed suit against the Dave Matthews Band for violating state water pollution and public nuisance laws. Illinois seeks $70,000 in civil penalties for the band allegedly emptying the contents of their bus’ septic tank—800 pounds of liquid human waste—through metal grating into the Chicago River as it crossed the Kinzie Street Bridge. The sewage doused a tour boat filled with 100 passengers on an architecture tour under the bridge.
India Flooding Causes Massive Food Shortage
The worst flooding in Bangladesh in six years has destroyed crops and left 20 million people in need of food aid. According to the country’s disaster minister, one-seventh of the population of Bangladesh will require assistance over the next five months. International assistance is in effect. “No one will die from starvation,” promises India’s Food and Disaster Management Minister Chowdhury Kamal Ibne Yousouf.
Taliban: Afghanistan is American burial ground
Taliban leaders claim responsibility for four rockets that struck a crowded residential area in Kabul. The bombing was intended for the international airport where US forces have a strong presence. Though it missed its mark, Taliban leaders claim via the Arabic satellite TV channel al Jazeera that the terrorist organization has the ability to target any site in Afghanistan and warned that the country will be “a burial ground” for Americans. Three people, including a child, were slightly injured in the attack, which Kabul’s police chief said was an attempt to disrupt the October presidential elections.
Scratch-Off Loser Will Continue Fight
A mistrial has been declared in Raymond MacDonald’s civil suit against the store clerk who issued him a winning $4 million lottery ticket. MacDonald misread the ticket as a loser and asked Julie Prive, the cashier, to throw it away. Prive later claimed the ticket as her own and has collected $600,000 in winnings over the past two years. Jurors failed to reach a decision on whether or not Prive was the rightful owner. MacDonald, a retiree, says he will file suit again.
US Kills Top Taliban Commander
US Special Operations soldiers fighting in Afghanistan announce the death of a top Taliban commander. Roze Khan, described as the Taliban’s “Billy the Kid,” was sought after for more than two years by the US, wanted for the recruitment and organization of Taliban and al Qaeda fighters. Also believed responsible for laying mines, the kidnapping of aid workers, and numerous attacks on Afghan and coalition forces, Kahn was killed after opening fire on Special Ops soldiers in a mountainous region of Kabul.
North Korea Mystery Explosion Unnerving
A massive explosion in North Korea’s Yanggang Province created an odd-shaped cloud with a radius of 2.5 miles over the Chinese border. The area where the explosion took place is home to an underground base containing medium-range missiles and is where the North may be conducting a uranium enrichment program. Though North Korea has declined an official explanation, US Secretary of State Colin Powell believes, “There was no indication that was a nuclear event of any kind. Exactly what it was, we're not sure."
Judging Controversy Continues in Athens
Throngs of spectators at the Olympics booed, jeered, and whistled at judges over the 9.725 score issued to Alexei Nemov of Russia in the horizontal bar finals. The score placed Nemov last of the first three contenders and sparked a six-minute delay for US Olympic all-around champion Paul Hamm while Olympic officials pleaded for silence. Judges revised Nemov's score to 9.762, but the booing returned when Hamm received a 9.812 to grab the lead. Last week the horizontal bar judging panel was suspended after their scoring error cost South Korean Yang Tae-Young the all-around crown.
