The soldiers, in civilian clothes, were shot as they traveled in an unmarked car from the U.S. base at Camp Doha toward a garrison near Oraifijan, about 35 miles south of Kuwait City. The Kuwaiti Interior Ministry said a junior patrol officer shot the men and fled to neighboring Saudi Arabia, where he remained at large. The statement did not indicate the assailant's motive. sentiment is on the rise in the Mideast as military action against Iraq looms. The shooting raised concern about the safety of some 10,000 U.S. troops stationed in Kuwait, a country that would serve as a key staging ground in any conflict with Iraq.

The Red Cross said more than 50 people died and 200 were wounded. The protests were triggered by a newspaper article suggesting Islam's founding prophet might have chosen a wife from among contestants in the Miss World beauty pageant in Nigeria. More than so people were stabbed, bludgeoned or burned to death and 200 were seriously injured in the violence in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods, Nigerian Red Cross President Emmanuel Ijewere told The Associated Press. At least four churches were destroyed, he said. Many of the bodies were taken by Red Cross workers and other volunteers to local mortuaries. Many others remained inside homes that were set afire by the demonstrators, Ijewere said. "A lot of people died. We don't know yet exactly how many... mo re than 50," he said.

Edward Kennedy is offering a plan to provide coverage to millions of uninsured Americans. "It is unacceptable that any American is uninsured. Quality, affordable health insurance for every American is a matter of simple justice," said in speech Kennedy, prepared for Thursday night at the Harvard School of Public Health. "The time is long overdue for America to join the rest of the industrial world in recognizing this fundamental right." Kennedy said he planned to introduce legislation when the new Congress convenes in January that would require all employers with more than five workers to provide health insurance for employees and their dependents. The coverage would have to be as good as that provided for federal employees. For those with low incomes, the government would offer subsidies to help pay premiums.

Mike Leavitt offered a solution on Thursday to the yawning state budget deficit that could also reform Utah's habits. Leavitt proposed takx sales-tasubsidies and other ing the funds that support a capital loan fund for municipal water projects and using the money to help balance the budget. That would force the water fund to rely more on water rates and encourage conservation, he said. The water fund is "a juggernaut that keeps getting bigger and bigger," Leavitt said. It could make an attractive target with lawmakers desperate to balance the budget for a sixth time in the past year. es Stadium at the U Gov. Wants to Use SALT LAKE CITY Gov. Mike Leavitt wants revenues from car registration or business licenses to subsidize state online services now paid for by individuals who use their credit cards and computers to do government business. Currently, Utah residents paying by computer must pay $2.50 per transaction, which Leavitt says discourages online payment. Diverting some of the revenue fees is a good way to encourage more people to use their computers when they renew they pay state fees and licenses, Leavitt said. The governor also believes increasing state Web use will save taxpayer money down the road through a smaller, more efficient bureaucracy.
