Violence on Anniversary of War in Iraq On the second anniversary of the US's decision to lead an invasion into Iraq, at least 45 people died in violence around the country. In Mosul, a suicide bomber with a fake badge slipped into a building housing the provincial anti-corruption department and killed a General and two of his guards. Hours later, the procession carrying General Kachmoula's coffin was attacked by rebel forces that killed two wounded 14 others. Insurgents attacked a police station in Baquba, killing at least four officers, and a truck bomb slammed into the entrance of an Iraqi army barrack, wounding at least 17. In Baghdad, 24 Iraqi insurgents were killed and six coalition soldiers wounded in a firefight, and an IED explosion in Kirkuk killed a US soldier and wounded three others.
Protesters Rally against Musharraf Tens of thousands of protesters rallied against Pakistani president Gen. Pervez Musharraf in a large-scale demonstration. Representing various religious parties, the protesters in Karachi declared Musharraf an unacceptable leader of Pakistan due to his pro-American policies. During the rally, Muthaida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), an alliance of Islamic parties, called for a general strike in protest of rising unemployment and inflation, and other issues blamed on Musharraf's poor leadership. Musharraf seized power in a 1999 military coup, and has become an outspoken supporter of the US in its war on terrorism. Protesters promise to hold more demonstrations in the weeks to come against the president, calling for his removal and denouncing him for the "destruction of the Islamic identity" of Pakistan.
Boy Kills Grandparents, Classmates in Shooting Spree In the deadliest school shooting since the Columbine High School slayings six years ago, a student on a remote Indian reservation in Minnesota shot and killed his grandparents before going on a shooting spree against fellow students and instructors at his school. The unidentified boy first shot and killed his grandparents at their home on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, then ran through his high school's metal detector and shot dead five classmates, a teacher and a security guard before turning the gun on himself. 15 other students were injured on the attack, a quarter of the student body at the small, remote school.
Army Deserter Denied Protection A United States Army deserter who fled to Canada last year to avoid serving in Iraq has been denied refugee protection in Toronto. The Immigration and Refugee Board denied refugee protection to 26-year-old Jeremy Hinzman after he fled north from Fort Bragg, N.C. claiming he would face persecution or cruel and unusual punishment if returned to the US. The board found instead that Hinzman "would be afforded the full protection of a fair and independent military and civilian judicial process in the US." Hinzman is allowed to stay in Canada while he appeals the decision. It is estimated there are anywhere from eight to several dozen American army deserters seeking refuge in Canada.
80 Insurgents Dead in Iraq Iraqi and American forces killed at least 80 insurgents in a fierce battle in the largest guerrilla training camp uncovered to date. Seven Iraqi policemen were killed and six wounded by insurgents living in a complex of tents and makeshift buildings northwest of Baghdad. Iraqi and American forces responded to a tip from villagers that led them to the discovery of munitions, training manuals, car bombs, and identification papers that indicated the presence of some foreign fighters. The battle took two hours and that there were about 80 insurgents at the camp, fighters who were planning to attack the city of Samarra with a number of car bombs. Members of the First Police Commando Battalion of the Interior Ministry approached the camp across a flat expanse, and were fired upon with assault rifles, machine guns and mortars or rockets. The 42nd Infantry Division joined the 500-700 commandos to beat back the insurgents and secure the camp.
6 Dead in Afghan Dam Break Six people died when a dam ruptured in southern Afghanistan and unleashed violent floods across hundreds of homes and shops. The US military helped with rescue operations via Black Hawk helicopters after the Bandi Sultan dam burst and swamped the area surrounding the city of Ghazni, 93 miles south of Kabul. Authorities are finding it difficult to assess the damage and casualty rates because of the extensive water covering the area. It is known that hundreds of shops, thousands of acres of agricultural land, and hundreds of livestock have been destroyed in the flooding, which occurred when the dam gave way under heavy snowfalls. The disaster comes on the heels of Afghanistan's worst winter in a decade, when hundreds of Afghans died from disease, starvation and accidents.
Iraqi Schools, Holy Sites Attacked Violence flared across Iraq this week, beginning with an insurgent mortar attack that killed an Iraqi girl and injured another child at a primary school in western Baghdad. The mortar crashed into a school in the Amariya neighborhood, dangerous stretch between the center of Baghdad and Abu Ghraib prison. Two policemen were killed in Etafiyah, when they attempted to defuse a roadside bomb planted near a Shiite mosque. Shiite holy sites have come under frequent attack from insurgents in an attempt to promote fear and chaos in the war-torn country..
Woman Dies in German Honor Killing A Turkish woman was killed after her brothers committed a so-called "honor killing" in Germany. The victim, a 23-year-old single mother, Hatin Surucu, is the sixth Muslim woman to be slain in an honor killing in Berlin since October. The murder, arranged by Surucu's three brothers, Mutlu, 25; Alpaslan, 24; and Ayhan, 18, took place two blocks from her apartment after the brothers charged Surucu's western lifestyle stained their Muslim reputation. Human rights organizations and Muslim activists charge there have been 45 honor killings and thousands of forced marriages in Germany since 1996. Surucu's public slaying took place years after she abandoned her arranged marriage, cut ties to her family and adopted a western lifestyle in Germany. Surucu's 5-year-old son is in custody of German courts.
Rice Visits Afghanistan amid Violence Five people were killed and 32 injured in a roadside bomb attack in southern Afghanistan just hours after US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in the country. Taliban rebels detonated a remote-controlled parcel bomb, which ripped through a taxi in Kandahar as a World Food Program convoy passed. Two women, a child and two men died in the attack. A second bomb detonated simultaneously on the outskirts of the city, but no casualties were reported. Rice had arrived in Kabul just hours prior to the killings to meet with President Hamid Karzai and to praise Afghanistan in its democratic progress.
