ANCHOR:” The spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and scholarships confirmed that 70 captured employees have been freed, including the assistant general director of the scholarships’ administration. He added that most of those who were released, including Sunnis, Shiites, and Christians, had been beaten and humiliated. Meanwhile, the Minister of Higher Education, <name unintelligible>, has decided to suspend all work until the rest of the hostages are released. More than 100 employees and supervisors who were working in one of the Ministry’s institutions were kidnapped by armed men in the center of Baghdad.”
“The American Occupation forces announced that 6 of their soldiers were killed, including four who died from injuries sustained during a battle in the Anbar province in western Iraq. A statement by the occupation said that the four killed included one soldier and three Marines. Two other soldiers were killed by an explosive device in western Baghdad.”
“While US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice says that there is no magic bullet in Iraq, the new Senate Democratic Majority leader Harry Reid vowed to increase pressure to withdraw American troops from Iraq.”
REPORTER:” The widespread killing in Iraq continues. Explosions in various Iraqi cities killed and injured dozens of civilians. In the capitol of Baghdad, thirteen people were killed and dozens of others were injured. According to a detailed police report, a booby-trapped car exploded at the Kalani stop in the bab al Sharji area near the main entrance of the Ministry of Interior, killing and wounding dozens of civilians.”
“West of Baghdad, one Iraqi was killed, and three others were injured. In Mosul, in Northern Iraq, the media was once again targeted. Armed men killed Fadia Mohammed Ali, a journalist who works for the Masar newspaper, and her chauffer, as they were driving to work. In Latifiya, the police said that it (sic) had found ten unidentified bodies. In the city of Fallujah, the American occupation army acknowledged that a soldier from the 1st Armored Division and three Marines died from their injuries, sustained last night in the Anbar province in Western Baghdad. The increase in the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq has created division on the political scene in Washington.”
“This division is not limited to the defeat of Bush and his party in the midterm congresssional elections. For example, US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has rejected recommendations about ways to bring stability to Iraq made by former US Secretary of State James Baker and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Also the new Senate Majority leader for the Democrats –Harry Reid– vowed to increase pressure to withdraw US troops form Iraq. He questioned what victory President Bush was talking about, when the number of US soldiers dying in the country is on the rise.”
