in eastern Nigeria.
Bloated bodies scarred by
bullets lay in the empty streets,
where stores, schools and

to the ground. A military heli

tion and killing of 19 soldiers
by Tiv tribal fighters earlier
this month in the state of
Benue, where villagers have
been waging a decade-long
ethnic feud.
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.

after ISU won nine games for
the first time since 1906. Iowa
State also jumped into the
national polls last season for the
first time in 19 years, finishing
the season at No. 25.
The Cyclones, who won just 27
games during the 1990’s, have won
14 of their last 19.
One of those losses was a 30-
7 loss to A&M last season in
Ames, Iowa, and the Aggies have
yet to lose to ISU.
Despite a solid 2000 canro.
ISU failed to win a game as
ranked opponent. The Cycta
only loss this season was
hands of No. 3 Nebraska.
“They had a good year
year,” said junior ImebackerE
