another prominent symbol of Saddam’s power, the
Information Ministry, as well as the Al-Rashid
hotel.
The attack on the leadership target — reminis
cent of the opening volley of the war on March 19
aimed at Saddam — occurred in Baghdad’s
upscale Mansour neighborhood. U.S. officials,
speaking on condition of anonmymity, said
American intelligence learned Monday morning
of a high-level meeting in Baghdad between sen
ior Iraqi intelligence officials and, possibly,
Saddam and his two sons, Qusai and Odai.
The bombardment left a huge hole where the
building had been and reduced three adjoining
houses to a heap of concrete, mangled iron rods
and furniture.
A B-1B bomber dropped four 2,000-pound
bunker-penetrating bombs on a residential build
ing. “We are confirming that a leadership target
was indeed hit very hard,” said Marine Maj. Brad
Bartelt, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command
in Qatar. He had no information of the results of
the attack.
It was the third straight day the Army penetrat
ed Saddam’s seat of power. This time, though,
there were plans to stay. Rather than withdrawing
at nightfall, as units did over the weekend, mem
bers of the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry
Division hunkered down for the night at the
sprawling, splendored New Presidential Palace
where Saddam once slept.
Several miles away, two soldiers and two jour
nalists were killed in a rocket attack on the 3rd
Infantry Division south of Baghdad, the U.S.
Central Command reported. Another 15 soldiers
were injured in the attack on an infantry position
south of the city.
On the other side of town. Marines encountered
tough fighting as they entered Baghdad for the
first time, coming under machine gun fire. Lt. Col.
B.P. McCoy said two Marines were killed and two
were injured after an artillery shell hit their
armored personnel carrier.
Marines crossed into Baghdad from the east,
their engineers deploying a temporary pontoon
bridge over a canal at the southern edge of the city
after Iraqis rendered the pennanent structure
unsafe for heavy, armored vehicles.
Hours later, the sound of occasional American
artillery split the night air.
The regime, its brutal hold on a country of 24
million slipping away, denied all of it. “There is
no presence of American infidels in the city of
Baghdad, at all,” insisted Iraqi Information
Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf.
The Iraqi government maintained its hold over
state-run television and radio — arguably its most
important remaining levers of control over the
country — and broadcast emotional appeals to
resist U.S. forces. Also shown were images of
Saddam meeting with key advisers.
The American military flexed its muscle in
downtown Baghdad while British officials said
one of the regime’s most brutal leaders, Ali
Hassan al-Majid, had apparently been killed in a
weekend airstrike in the southern city of Basra.
Defense officials also said testing was under
way on samples taken from a site where soldiers
found metal drums possibly containing nerve gas
or another type of chemical weapon. A local com
mander said it was possible the substance was a
pesticide, since it was found at an agricultural site
near Hindiyah, south of Baghdad.

decision would prompt rao:
states to outlaw cross burning.
“A burning cross is a symb
like no other. It doesn’t just
we don’t like you. The messag
is we are going to do you harm
Kilgore said.
States that have anti-cro
burning laws include Califom:
Connecticut, Delaware, Florid
Georgia, Idaho, Montana, Nor
Carolina, South Carolina, Sou:
Dakota, Vermont, Virgin:
Washington and the Districi
Columbia.
The Virginia case evoked
mostly bygone era in the Sour
when “nightriders” set cross!
ablaze as a symbol of intimid
tion to blacks and civil rigl
sympathizers.
Thomas grew up in then-se:j
regated Georgia. During artf]
ments in the case, he spoke of:
century of violence and temt
the hands of the Klan and
white supremacy groups.
“The cross was a symbol
that reign of terror,” Thoit
said, breaking his custom!
silence during arguments.
In the ruling, the justkf
seemed to carve out just a sma
exception for protecte
burnings.
“While a burning cross dof
not inevitably convey a messas
of intimidation, often the croi
burner intends that the recipieU
of the message fear for the:
lives,” O’Connor wrote. “Aft
when a cross burning is used if
intimidate, few if any message)
are more powerful.”
