BY ALLISON BARKER P’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PALESTINE, W.VA. — Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch was raped by her Iraqi captors, a new authorized biography of the Army supply clerk says. The 20-year-old private, who was hailed as a hero after her cap ture and rescue, has no memory of the sexual assault, but medical ft v records cited in the book.— “I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story” — indicate it occurred. “Even just the thinking about that, that’s too painful,” Lynch told Diane Sawyer in an ABC “Primetime” interview set to air Tuesday, the day the book is to be released. The book covers Lynch’s ordeal between March 23, when her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was attacked, and her rescue April 1 by U.S. commandos. “The book does cover the sub ject” of rape, family spokesman Stephen Goodwin told The Associated Press. “It’s a very dif ficult subject.” Goodwin said Lynch and her family would let the book speak for itself. “It’s important to tell the story and let it be known, but she’s not going to talk about it anymore,” he said. The 207-page book was written by former New York Times re porter Rick Bragg. In the book, excerpts of which appeared in the New York Daily News on Thursday, Bragg writes that Lynch “lost three hours” af ter her convoy was attacked in Nasiriyah after making a wrong turn. “She lost them in the snapping bones, in the crash of the Humvee, in the torment her enemies in flicted on her after she was pulled from it,” he writes. “The records _ do not tell whether her captors as saulted her almost lifeless, broken body after she was lifted from the wreckage, or if they assaulted her and'then broke her bones into splinters until she was almost dead.” In the ABC interview, Lynch corrected early reports that she fired her rifle to fend off her at tackers.. She said her weapon jammed and she was unable to fire' a single round. She also said she. was not slapped while being treat-,, ed in the hospital. Mohammed al-Rehaief, the at Iraqi lawyer credited with helping to save Lynch, has said he went to the U.S. Marines after seeing her being slapped in the hospital. EdVenture CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 fire safety with a real, 24-foot fire engine, in which they can pretenc to drive, listen to 911 calls and ^ dress up like firefighters. To teach ■* about the five most common fire starting incidents, the museuir features a fire-safety theater where parents and children have to crawl out and meet at a light post just outside the theater door. Cothran said South Carolina has consistently been in the top 10 for child deaths in fires. Furthermore, the Body Works exhibit was de veloped to combat growing child hood obesity and diabetes by teaching children how to eat right and stay healthy, Cothran said. Most of the exhibits and all of the outreach programs, including nine field-trip programs, are based on South Carolina educational cur riculum and help prepare students for the Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test each spring. “South Carolina has some is sues with education in general, and we’re hoping to address some of those with our museum,” Cothran said. The museum tries to live by its slogan: “At EdVenture, every body’s a kid.” USC students are encouraged to get involved by attending Saturday’s ribbon-cutting cere mony or volunteering to work the floor, at the library or at the Educational Leadership Center.
