Mission 52 - Global Headlines
Escape from Asadabad

Battles Continue in Baghdad
A teenage boy is the second person attacked by a shark in Florida waters in as many days. Craig Adam Hutto, 16, was fishing in waist-deep water in the Florida Panhandle when a shark grabbed him in the right leg, which doctors later amputated. Hutto, his brother, and a friend managed to hit the shark in the nose several times before it retreated back in the water. The attack took place 80 miles east of Walton County, where two days earlier paramedics failed to resuscitate a 14-year-old girl after she was bit in the leg by a shark.
Second Florida Shark Attack in Two Days
A production shortage of oil in the northern fields of Kirkuk has forced Iraq to suspended oil exports to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. The northern pipeline and surrounding facilities are frequently sabotaged by anti-government and anti-American insurgents throughout the region. The halt on exportation comes on the heels of an announcement that Iraq’s oil output in the south has declined by nearly 190,000 barrels a day in the past week. The southern production problems are blamed on technical problems.
Two Die in Iraq Helicopter Crash
Two pilots of a US Apache attack helicopter are dead after a rocket fired from the ground destroyed the craft in mid-air. According to witnesses close to the scene, the attack on the AH-64 caused it to explode before hitting the ground. Flying over Mishahda, a region 20 miles north of Baghdad, the Apache was shadowed by another helicopter en route to an undisclosed location. The second aircraft escaped the region unharmed.
Disk Jockey Released in Case of Missing Teen in Aruba
Police in Aruba have released a 26-year-old disk jockey held in the case of missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway. Steve Croes had been in custody since June 17, after another youth in custody told authorities Croes was involved in the abduction of Holloway. The judge’s ruling cites there is insufficient evidence to hold Croes. Holloway, 18, was in Aruba on her senior trip when she disappeared on May 30 after leaving a local bar. The three people last seen with Holloway remain in custody: Joran Van Der Sloot, 17, Satish Kalpoe, 18, and Deepak Kalpoe, 21.
Infamous ‘BTK’ Serial Killer Confesses
The self-proclaimed ‘BTK’—or bind, torture, kill—murder has pled guilty to 10 counts of first-degree murder in Wichita, Kansas. Dennis Rader, 60, confessed to the multiple murders, then surprised the court with blow-by-blow accounts of each incident. Calling the victims his “projects,” Rader coldly described each crime, beginning with his habitual search, or “troll” for victims. Rader’s first killings took place in 1974, when he bound, tortured and strangled to death a couple and their two children. He committed his last murder in 1991. Sentencing is set for Aug. 17, but Rader will not face the death penalty because the crimes were committed before Kansas adopted a new capital punishment law.
Gitmo Inmate Acquitted of Terror Charges
A former inmate at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay has been acquitted of all terror-related charges against him. A Kuwaiti court has declared Nasser al-Matairi, 27 not guilty of joining foreign military forces without permission, serving in the interest of a foreign country, or engaging in illegal weapons training. The charges levied against the Kuwaiti failed to mention any particular country or terrorist organization. Al-Mutairi spent almost three years in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba before his January release and subsequent trial in Kuwait.
Insurgency Could Last 12 Years, says Rumsfeld
US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced that Iraqis will defeat the insurgency, but the victory may not be for years to come. On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Rumsfeld said insurgencies tend to go on for as many as 12 years, and that his prediction is that there will be a continued escalation of violence until the December elections. According to Rumsfeld, Iraqis will undoubtedly conquer the insurgents, but that American forces still play an important role in stabilizing the country. The comments were aired on a day in which three suicide bombings killed more than 30 people, including 15 police officers in Mosul.
Killer of Civil Rights Workers Sentenced
A Mississippi judge has sentenced a former Ku Klux Klansman to 60 years in prison for the manslaughter of three civil rights workers. The courts sentenced Edgar Ray Killen, 80, to 60 years in prison for his part in the ambushing and killing of James Chaney, 21, Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24, in 1964. The consecutive 20-year terms for each victim is the maximum allowed by law. Killen, a part-time preacher, was convicted on the 41-year anniversary of the date his Klan mob killed the young men.
Death Toll Rises in China Floods
China has suffered torrential rain and mudslides that caused 97 deaths this week alone. For the month of June, the death toll from heavy flooding across the nation is 536, not including 137 people that are missing after a week of solid rain and flooding across 22 provinces and regions. In four days, more than 100 students died in a flood in Heilgjiang province in northeastern China. More rain is forecasted to fall on south and southeast China through the end of the week.
Bloodiest Day for Women in Iraq
A suicide bomb attack left 11 female Marines wounded in Fallujah, when a US military truck carrying 19 military troops was blown up and ambushed by insurgents. Three female Marines were killed in the attack, along with two male Marines. The soldiers were assigned to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force and were returning to Camp Fallujah after manning checkpoints in a nearby area. The attack marks the highest number of female casualties in one day since the start of the War in Iraq.
