The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus Saturday, March 13, 2004 World Obituaries Roadside bombing kills 2 U.S. soldiers in Iraq TIKRIT, Iraq (AP) A roadside I bomb in Saddam Hussein's hometown killed two American soldiers and wounded four today, a day after the military said two other soldiers died in a similar explosion elsewhere in Iraq's so-called Sunni Triangle. The soldiers killed today were patrolling in downtown Tikrit, north of Baghdad, around 5 a.m. in an armored Humvee when a roadside bomb exploded, said Capt. Tim Crowe of the U.S.
Army. The blast destroyed the vehicle. Crowe said small arms fire erupted in the same area shortly before the explosion, possibly to distract the soldiers. The four wounded soldiers were evacuated to a military hospital north of Tikrit. It was not immediately clear how serious their injuries were.
After the attack, about 50 soldiers fanned out through the city searching for evidence and asking locals for information about the attack. The soldiers were from the army's 1st Infantry Division's 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, which is taking over security in the Tikrit area on Saturday. Roadside bombs have become the main threat to U.S. soldiers on patrol in the Sunni Triangle, a region has seen some of the fiercest guerrilla fighting. On Friday, the military said two U.S.
soldiers were killed and a third wounded when their Humvee struck a' roadside bomb Thursday northeast of Habbiniyah. Another American soldier was killed and two others injured earlier Thursday by a homemade bomb in Baqouba. On Friday, a top U.S. military official said four Iraqis suspected of killing a pair of American officials and their translator appear to be active police officers working with a Saddam Hussein loyalist, raising concerns that insurgents are infiltrating Iraqi security forces being trained by U.S. forces.
The four were caught along with a former officer from the Saddam- era police forces and a civilian after the slayings Tuesday of the two U.S.-led coalition staffers and an Iraqi woman south of Baghdad, Maj. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said. U.S. troops have been setting up Iraqi police and other security forces, intending to gradually put them on the frontlines against guerrillas.
Coalition spokesman Dan Senor called the policemen's role in the attack "an exception" and defended what he called a "robust" process of vetting police recruits to try to uncover criminal pasts or links to Saddam's regime. "But it is not perfect," he said. "Individuals slip through the cracks. We act to identify it and remove them immediately." FBI experts were investigating the attack that killed the three, amid conflicting reports over the shooting outside the town of Hillah. Polish troops patrolling the region said the police stopped the victims' car at a checkpoint and shot them to death.
Kimmitt, however, said the attackers may have been in a second car that ran the coalition staffers off the road. Former Haitian exile Latortue sworn in as new leader of Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) Former Haitian exile Gerard Latortue was sworn in Friday as the country's prime minister, promising to unite the country after months of bloodshed and political strife that led to the ouster of President JeanBertrand Aristide. Under heavy security, Latortue took the oath of office in front of a crowd of 200 people, saying he was happy to serve his country. "This is an occasion for hope for all Haitians," he said. "Together we will form a responsible government that respects its institutions, and I will see that every dollar given to development projects will be well spent." Latortue, 69, is a former U.N.
official and business consultant who arrived in Haiti on Wednesday after living in Florida. He spent much of the 29-year Duvalier family dictatorship, which ended in 1986, in exile. He became foreign minister in 1988 for former President Leslie Manigat, who was toppled in a military coup. Earlier, Latortue told proAristide politicians that he wants to hold legislative elec- SPRING SALE Recliners HUGE LEATHER DISPLAY!

Phone 786-7766 tions in six to eight months, Cabinet Minister Leslie Voltaire said. He also criticized Jamaica's decision to host ousted President JeanBertrand Aristide, who was expected to return to the region early next week from exile in Africa. Latortue told reporters that Aristide is no longer Haiti's leader, dampening speculation that the former leader's trip might lead to negotiations for the his return. Aristide insists he remains Haiti's legitimate president. Latortue said Friday that news of Aristide's planned return to the region had caused "an increase in the tensions in Port-au-Prince." He said he told Jamaican Prime Minister P.J.
Patterson that having Aristide so close was viewed as "an unfriendly act." Latortue spoke with Patterson by telephone, and said the Jamaican leader told him Aristide "had no other place to go." U.S. officials say Aristide asked for help and that they saved his life by arranging his departure during a bloody rebellion. OLD PHOTOS Copied Restored Receive OFF your order.

LONDON (AP) Alf Bicknell, chauffeur to the Beatles at the height of their fame and inspiration for the song, "Baby You Can Drive My Car," died Tuesday, the band's former promoter said.
He was 75. Bicknell started working for the Beatles in 1964 during the filming of "Help." In his autobiography, written with Garry Marshall, Bicknell said he became very close to the band. He described how John Lennon once stole his chauffeur's hat and flung it out of the band's car with the words, "You don't need that anymore Alf, you are one of us now." At first, he drove the band in an Austin Princess with blacked out windows; later, the group traveled in Lennon's Rolls Royce Phantom V. Bicknell stayed with the Beatles until they decided to stop touring in 1966. He retired from driving in 1980 after injuring his right arm and made a new career talking about his is experiences, but rejected all financial offers to "dish the dirt."
