Uniformed soldiers travel ing in armored personnel car riers destroyed seven settle ments, killing 130 people in just one village, state Gov. George Akume said Thursday. The figures could not be inde pendently verified. Defense officials deny they ordered any revenge attacks. The soldiers who arrived in Zaki-Biam on Tuesday told residents they were peace keepers and instructed people to stay in their homes, accord ing to the few residents who started straggling back Thursday. “We thought they were coming here to protect us, but suddenly they took up posi tions and started firing at us,” said Titus Madugu, a nurse, hovering nervously in the gar den next to his burned house. Madugu’s uncle was killed; his five children and one of his two wives disappeared in the mayhem, as villagers fled into the forest. Also missing were 12 patients he had been caring for at a clinic when the ram page began, and Madugu said he had no idea of their fate. Outside Madugu’s clinic, the bullet-ridden bodies of five men lay in the sun near a taxi that was also pocked with gun shots. Residents said the vehi cle was caught in the shooting and the passengers gunned down as they tried to flee. Fearing another attack, some of .the residents who returned on Thursday to ruined homes went back into the forest to spend a third night in a row. fcde with Ginseng and Gua# 9 Contains B-Vitamins I 8.4FLOZ (250 nt) ignite the mind Bryan av raise to | training i ANDY HANCOCK • THE BAHAI Bryan Poli Burton said fi cers have a d in the police City of Br Burton.

Despite a solid 2000 canro. ISU failed to win a game as ranked opponent.
