Car bomb kills
17 in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq Three
U S. airmen died Sunday in a
car bombing in Baghdad
among at least 17 people
killed in violence across Iraq
as Iraqi troops launched a
fresh battle to oust militias
and paciiy the capital.
The sectarian attacks con
tinued despite the major
drive to tame Baghdad. The
Iraqi army reported killing 30
militants late Saturday in a
Sunni insurgent stronghold in
the center of the city, just to
the north of the heavily forti
fied Green Zone.
Prime Minister Nouri al-
Maliki, speaking only hours
earlier at a ceremony marking
the 85th anniversary of the
Iraqi army, announced his

“peace mom” Cindy Sheehan
called for the closure of the
US. military prison in
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as
she and other activists
arrived Saturday to draw
attention to the nearly 400
terror suspects held at the
remote site.
Sheehan is among 12
human rights and anti-war
activists who will travel
across this Caribbean island
next week, arriving at the
main gate of the Guantanamo
base in eastern Cuba on
Thursday five years after
the first prisoners were flown
in.
“Anyone who knows me
knows that I am not afraid of
anything,” Sheehan said when
asked about the possibility of
U.S. sanctions for traveling to
Communist-run Cuba, which
remains under an American
trade embargo.
“What is more important is

ernment is perpetrating at
Guantanamo,” she told

NEWS OF THE WEIRD
Book
returned
47 years
overdue
HANCOCK, Mich.
Robert Nuranen handed
the local librarian a
book he’d checked out
for a ninth-grade assign
ment along with a check
for 47 years’ worth of late
fees.
Nuranen said his
mother misplaced the
copy of “Prince of Egypt”
while cleaning the house.
The family came across
it every so often, only to
set it aside again.
He found it last week
while looking through a
box in the attic.
"I figured I’d better get
it in before we waited
another 10 years,” he
said after turning it
in Friday with the
$171.32 check. “Fifty-seven
years would be embarrass
ing.”
The book, with its last
due date stamped June 2,
1960, was part of the young
Nuranen’s fascination with
Egypt.
He went on to visit that
country and 54 others, and
all 50 states, he said, but
he never did finish the
book.
Nuranen now lives in
Los Angeles, where he
teaches seventh-grade
social studies and lan
guage arts.
The library had long
ago lost any record of the
book, librarian Sue
Zubiena said.
“I’m going to use it as
an example," she said. “It’s
never too late to return
your books."
