hour and a half after the power
surge, said Sean McGreevy, res
idence life coordinator for
Moore and Snowden residence
halls.
Fourth-year psychology stu
dent Crystal Hall was working
the desk in Snowden when the
power went out.
“I have to sit hereuntil 7, and
they said it’s probably not going
to be on any time soon, so it’s def
initely not a good thing,” said
Hall, who was sitting in the dark
trying to read a newspaper with a
flashlight while a siren was blar
ing in the background. She
looked across the Towers lobby
to Moore residence hall, where
the power was still on.
“It’s kind of weird to be sitting
in the dark over here and see
them in the light over there,”
Hall said.

U.S. soldiers beaten to death
with concrete blocks in Iraq
BY MARIAM FAM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS'
MOSUL, IRAQ - Iraqi
teenagers dragged two bloodied
U.S. soldiers from a wrecked ve
hicle and pummeled them with
concrete blocks Sunday, wit
nesses said, describing the
killings as a burst of savagery in
a city once safe for Americans.
Another soldier was killed by
a bomb and a U.S.-allied police
chief was assassinated.
The U.S.-led coalition also said
it grounded commercial flights
after the military confirmed that
a missile struck a DHL cargo
plane that landed Saturday at
Baghdad International Airport
with its wing aflame.
Nevertheless, American offi
cers insisted they were making
progress in bringing stability to
Iraq, and the U.S.-appointed
Governing Council named an am
bassador to Washington - an
Iraqi-American woman who
spent the past decade lobbying
U.S. lawmakers to promote
democracy in her homeland.
Witnesses to the Mosul attack
said gunmen shot two soldiers
driving through the city center,
sending their vehicle crashing
into a wall. The 101st Airborne
Division said the soldiers were
driving to another garrison.
About a dozen swarming
teenagers dragged the soldiers
out of the wreckage and beat
them with concrete blocks, the
witnesses said.
“They lifted a block and hit
them with it on the face,” said
Younis Mahmoud, 19.
It was unknown whether the
soldiers were alive or dead when
pulled from the wreckage.
Initial reports said the sol
diers’ throats were cut. But an
other witness, teenager Bahaa
Jassim, said the wounds ap
peared to have come from bullets.
“One of the soldiers was shot
under the chin and the bullet
came out of his head. I saw the
hole in his helmet. The other was
shot in the throat,” Jassim said.
Some people looted the vehicle
of weapons, CDs and a backpack,
Jassim said.
“They remained there for over
an hour without the Americans
knowing anything about it,” he
said. “I... went and told other
troops.”
Television footage showed the
soldiers’ bodies splayed on the
ground as U.S. troops secured the
area. One victim’s foot appeared
to have been severed.
The frenzy recalled the
October 1993 scene in Somalia,
when locals dragged the bodies
of Marines killed in fighting with
warlords through the streets.
In Baqouba, just north of
Baghdad, insurgents detonated a
roadside bomb as a 4th Infantry
Division convoy passed, killing
one soldier and wounding two
others, the military said.
In Baghdad, Brig. Gen. Mark
Kimmitt confirmed the Mosul
deaths but refused to provide de
tails.
“We’re not going to get ghoul
ish about it,” he said.
The savagery of the attack was
unusual for Mosul, once touted
as a success story in sharp con
trast to the anti-American vio
lence seen in Sunni Muslim ar
eas north and west of Baghdad.
In recent weeks, however, at
tacks against U.S. troops have in
creased in Mosul, raising con
cerns the insurgency is spread
ing.
Simultaneously, attacks have
accelerated against Iraqis con
sidered to be supporting
Americans — such as policemen
and politicians working for the
interim Iraqi administration.
On Sunday, gunmen killed the
Iraqi police chief of Latifiyah, 20
miles south of Baghdad, and his
bodyguard and driver, American
and Iraqi officials said. No fur
ther details were released.
The assassination occurred
one day after suicide bombers
struck two police stations north
east of Baghdad within 30 min
utes, killing at least 14 people.
Gunmen on Saturday also killed
an Iraqi police colonel protecting
oil installations in Mosul.
In Samara, about 75 miles
north of Baghdad, Iraqi police
said six U.S. Apache helicopter
gunships blasted marshland af
ter four rocket-propelled
grenades were fired at the
American military garrison at
the city’s northern end. One Iraqi
passer-by was killed in the air at
tack, police said.
In Kirkuk, 150 miles north of
Baghdad, a bomb exploded at an
oil compound, injuring three
American civilian contractors
from the U.S. firm Kellogg Brown
& Root. The three suffered facial
cuts from flying glass, U.S. Lt.
Col. Matt Croke said.
