CINCINNATI A heckler who briefly interrupted a speech by Democrat John Kerry today says he was assaulted by two men near him in the crowd before others shouted him down with cries of "Kerry, Kerry." Police said 48-year-old Michael Russell of Foster, Kentucky, complained that his neck was hurt by a man who put him in a headlock after Russell started to yell about Kerry's allegation of war atrocities after returning from Navy service in Vietnam.

City police were investigating. No charges had been filed today.

Russell says he had been trying to ask Kerry whether he had personally participated in atrocities in Vietnam including burning villages.

Russell says he was then grabbed by the man standing next to him in the audience.

Kerry spokesman David Wade told reporters that the heckler was Mike Russell, who is listed as a spokesman for the anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. The group has accused Kerry of lying about military heroism for which he received medals.

...Kerry spokesman David Wade told reporters that the heckler was Mike Russell,...

Since info that this man is connected with O'Neil's group came from the Kerry Kampaign I remain skeptical.

Did David Wade provide the names of both of the goons who assaulted Mr. Foster?
