Italians deadly target of Iraqi attack
Italian officials believe Saddam Hussein followers were the attackers of Italian military headquarters Wednesday in Nasiriya, Iraq.
Two vehicles, a truck and sedan, broke through the gate guarding the establishment and one of them exploded soon after. Eleven military police, four soldiers and one Italian civilian were killed in the blast. Hospitals report eight Iraqis also died and the number of wounded is unknown. Officials are aware that the death toll may rise as a result of people being trapped in the rubble of the destroyed headquarters.
Since major combat ended May 1, supporters of Hussein have not been deterred from committing attacks, raids and suicide bombings. Coalition forces are pushing for the U.S. National Security Council to speed up the process of transferring political power from the U.S. to the Iraqi people. The Iraqi Governing Council, appointed by the U.S., is scheduled to have a timeline set for elections and the formation of a constitution by Dec. 15.
Fast food angers breast-feeding mom
Kate Geary was breast-feeding her daughter in the dining room of a Burger King restaurant in Orem, Utah, when she claims an employee ordered her to either stop feeding her baby or leave. Geary said she felt like a criminal and was offended by the order.
The Burger King Corporation issued a recent statement offering its apology to Geary and any other customers involved in the incident. However, the restaurant rejected the claim that an employee ordered Geary to leave.
Allegedly, another customer had become uncomfortable with Geary's actions and an employee asked Geary to cover herself or continue breast-feeding in the ladies room. The company said they never asked the mother to remove herself from the restaurant.
