Aquila al-Hashimi’s death came as a bomb damaged a hotel housing the offices of NBC News, raising fears of attacks against international media. A Somali guard was killed and an NBC sound engineer was slight ly wounded in the early morning explosion at the small al-Aike Hotel in the city’s fashionable Karrada district. In the north, eight American soldiers were wounded — three of them seriously — when their convoy was ambushed with roadside bombs and small arms fire in Mosul, Iraq’s third-largest city. The tenuous security situation prompted U.N. Secretary- General Kofi Annan to order a further reduction in U.N. interna tional staff in Iraq after two bombings at U.N. headquarters. Strong quake hits northern Japan TOKYO (AP) — A strong quake with a preliminary mag nitude of 7.8 rocked the north ern Japan island of Hokkaido early Friday morning, knocking out power, derailing a train and touching off an industrial fire. At least 12 people were report ed injured. A powerful aftershock of magnitude 6 followed an hour later, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The government warned local residents to avoid coastal areas due to the possibility of tsunami, or ocean waves caused by seismic activity. The quake, which struck at 4:50 a.m., was focused off Hokkaido’s eastern shore.
