"Six Dead in Possible Afghan Taliban Ambush"


Monday, December 20, 2004

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A vehicle carrying a group of suspected Taliban (search) fighters attacked a military checkpoint in southern Afghanistan (search), sparking a firefight that left six dead and at least four wounded, police said Monday.


Kandahar (search) police chief Khan Mohammed said the attack occurred at 6 p.m. Sunday in Maivand district, 90 miles west of Kandahar city.


The exchange of gunfire killed four soldiers and a civilian, and the attackers left behind the body of one fighter as they drove away, police said. Security forces were pursuing them.


In a separate incident, two American soldiers were wounded when their patrol came under small arms fire northeast of Shinkay, in adjacent Zabul province, on Saturday, U.S. Maj. Mark McCann told reporters."

Canadian Press


December 18, 2004

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BISMARCK, N.D. -- A man who locked himself in the bathroom of a commercial jet en route to Winnipeg was taken to hospital for mental evaluation after the plane was forced to land in North Dakota, police said.


The United Express flight from Denver landed in Bismarck at about 12:45 p.m. Friday.


The episode ended about 15 minutes later when authorities entered the washroom and removed the man, who had removed his clothes and was making incoherent noises, police Sgt. Steve Kenner said.


Authorities said the man, who was not identified, was in his late 20s or early 30s. He did not struggle with officers and no weapons were found. No injuries were reported."

"Pheasants found ill; 2,200 to die"


By The Associated Press

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CENTRALIA — Officials plan to exterminate all of the 2,200 pheasants at the Lewis County Game Farm because two of the birds were found to be carrying a contagious disease.

Game-farm manager Ron Anthill brought some birds with runny eyes to the Washington State University Extension office in Puyallup on Dec. 10.

The office confirmed the birds had mycoplasma gallisepticum, an illness that causes watering eyes, coughing or sneezing and can affect weight gain and reproduction.

The illness lasts for the bird's lifetime, cannot be fought with antibiotics and spreads to the entire flock. Offspring contract the disease in the egg stage, and it could spread to the wild-bird population."
