BAGHDAD—Prominent Shiite and Sunni politicians called on Iraqi civilians to take up arms to defend themselves after a weekend of violence that claimed more than 220 lives, including 60 who died Sunday in a surge of bombings and shootings around Baghdad. The calls reflect growing frustration with the inability of Iraqi security forces to prevent extremist attacks. The weekend deaths included two American soldiers—one killed Sunday in a suicide bombing on the western outskirts of Baghdad and another who died in combat Saturday in Salahuddin province north of the capital, the U.S. command said. Three soldiers were wounded in the Sunday blast. Sunday's deadliest attack occurred when a bomb struck a truckload of newly recruited Iraqi soldiers on the outskirts of Baghdad, killing 15 and wounding 20, a police official at the nearest police station said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. Also Sunday, two car bombs exploded near simultaneously in Baghdad's mostly Shiite Karradah district, killing eight people. The first detonated at 10:30 a.m. near a closed restaurant, destroying stalls and soft drink stands. Two passersby were killed and eight wounded, a police official said. .

And after Federer finally overcame Rafael Nadal in a five-set epic Sunday to win hisfifthconsecutive championship at the All England Club and nth Grand Slam title overall, tying Bjorn Borg on both counts, guess who was waiting to greet him in a hallway off Centre Court? Borg himself. They smiled and embraced, then chatted briefly, a tete-a-tete between the only two men in the past century to win Wimbledon five years in a row. "To see him after the match— it was very fitting in my point of view," Federer said. "It made me a bit more proud of myself." He could swell his chest all he wanted, given everything he's accomplished, not to mention the way he beat three-time French Open champion Nadal j-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2 for his 54th straight victory on grass in a taut match filled with momentum swings and marvelous shotmaking. Federer is No. 1, Nadal is No. 2, and they have met in four of the past six major finals. Federer won both at the All England Club. Nadal won both at Roland Garros. This was, by far, the best of the bunch. "I win my share. He wins his. We've been at the top for over 100 weeks together. It is like building up to one of maybe the great rivalries," Federer said "We sometimes haven't lived up to the expectations in the past... but you can't always play five-set thrillers, you know. I'm happy-it happened today. I left as the winner. Perfect." He's taken n of the past 17 Grand Slamtitles, including three apiece 'at the Australian Open and U.S. Open. Now Federer's total trails only Roy Emerson's 12 and Pete Sampras' 14 on the list of career Grand Slam titles. ex and zee 5 Dernier _ _ , (the lalest ifiing) 8 Turtle cover Edited by Will Shortz 1 old-style 1 Earfy 2Oth-c©ntury art the entrance of Shorja market—a mostly Shiite area of central Baghdad that has been hit repeatedly by insurgents—killing three civilians and woundingfive,police said.

Mike Hill, the father of 3year-old Margaret Hill, told Sky News by telephone that no ransom was paid. His daughter could be heard in the background as he spoke. "She's coming alive all the timc.She was in a bit of a trance when we first got her back," he said. "I don't think she's had very much to eat, because she's hungry now," he added. "She's covered in mosquito bites. The bites are really bad." The toddler told The Associated Press by phone that she was "fine" and happy to see her mother. "She looks well and she is in very good spirits," state government spokesman Emmanuel Okah said as the child laughed in the background. In Britain, Foreign Secre- tary David Miliband thanked those who worked to secure her release. "I was delighted and relieved £> hear of Margaref s release," he said. "I am grateful to the Nigerian authorities for all their help and I hope the perpetrators will be swiftly brought to justice." Gunmen seized Margaret while the car taking her to school idled in traffic Thursday in Port Harcourt, an oil industry center. Her Nigerian mother, Oluchi Hill, had previously said the abductors had contacted her and demanded an unspecified ransom for Margaret's release. She had also said her daughter was being fed only bread and water, and that the gunmen threatened to kill the girl if the parents did not meet their demands—including one that the father take his daughter's place. Her father has lived in Nigeria for years and works in the energy industry. He also runs a popular nightspot in Port Harcourt. Asked to describe the ordeal he and his wife went Advertising 801 581.7041 through, Mike Hill said: "The pressure, it's unbelievable... You just stop eating, you think of nothing else, you're just worrying all the time." It was the first abduction of a foreign child in the increasingly lawless oil region of Africa's biggest oil producer. Margaret, whose driver was stabbed as he tried to shield her during the attack, is the third child to be seized in six weeks. The other two victims, both released unharmed after a few days in captivity, were the children of prominent Nigerian families. Kidnappings in the region have focused mostly on foreign, male workers of international companies presumed to have the resources for ransom payments. More than 200 foreigners have been kidnapped since militants stepped up their activities against the oil industry in late 2005 and more than 100 expatriates have been seized this year alone as criminal gangs took up the practice.
