KU student injured in late-night attack
A KU student was attacked in the 700 block of Michigan Street at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Lawrence police said.
The student was walking home from work when a dark-colored pickup truck with tinted windows forced him to step toward the ditch, Det. M.T. Brown said. The truck drove past and then backed up and stopped next to the student, Brown said.
The student suffered a broken thumb and injuries to his jaw which will require surgery. Brown said.
Three men got out of the truck and started to follow the student, and one of the three began to hit him. The men eventually left in the truck. Brown said police had no suspects.

LAWRENCE
Abortions unavailable as doctor faces hearing
Lawrence's only abortion provider's practice is on hold while she faces state medical hearings about the use of mild sedation on patients.
The Kansas Board of Healing Arts will decide today whether Kristin Neuhaus can use Ketamine along with Vallium at her clinic at 205 W. Eighth St.
The board issued a hold on her practice after she asked for permission to use the sedation. Ketamine and Vallium ease pain, but they are different than general anesthetics because they don't interfere with a patient's res
piration.
The board issued the hold because it was concerned that Neuhaus would not be well-prepared if an emergency happened because she practices in an office setting.
Donald Strole, her attorney, doesn't think the board can establish a permanent hold on her practice.
"I don't think the board can establish that she can't use mild sedation in an office setting because several different doctors use it in office settings, like oral surgeons," he said.
"Frankly, we are perplexed why this is going on," he said.
Neuhua has not performed an abortion since Aug. 12. She has been consulting with patients and was not available for comment.

Clinton visits Nigeria speaks about AIDS
ABUJA, Nigeria — Africans must "break the silence" about AIDS or risk losing hard-fought democratic and economic gains, President Clinton said yesterday as the White House highlighted more than $20 million in U.S. aid to fight AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Clinton: Africans must work to solve AIDS problem.
devastating Africa.
"In every country,
in any culture, it is difficult,
painful, at the
very least embarrassing, to talk
about the issues involved with AIDS." Clinton said after touring a health center in the Nigerian capital and hearing the stories of sev
eral people living with the disease.
Clinton's two-day stay in Nigeria was intended to underscore U.S. approval of the 15-month-old democratic government in Africa's most populous nation, with 123 million people.
Along with dealing with the heavy themes of AIDS and debt relief, Clinton used the trip to get to know a country he deliberately bypassed on his last trip to Africa in 1998, when it was under a military dictatorship.
AIDS killed 2.8 million people worldwide last year and is now the leading cause of death in Africa. The Clinton administration will spend $9.4 million this year for AIDS and HIV infection prevention and care in Nigeria, $8.7
"We want to help you build your economy, educate your children and build a better life," he told villagers as he wore a cream-colored royal African robe given to him by the village chief.
million more for polio eradication and $2 million toward prevention of malaria.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 1.3 million children have lost a parent to AIDS, and the disease is reducing life expectancies and dimming development hopes across the continent.
Muslim rebel demands millions for hostages
JOLO, Philippines — His AK-47 rifle swings awkwardly against his diminutive body as he walks, and Philippine government officials once poked fun at his limited education and country ways.
So far, his Abu Sayyaf rebels have received an estimated $11 million for the kidnapping of 21 people on April 23 from a Malaysian diving resort — with several hostages still unreleased.
But for now, at least, Muslim rebel commander Galib "Robot" Andang appears to have out-bargained the government by winning $1 million for each of five foreign hostages released yesterday.
Although not a senior Abu Sayaf commander, Andang has managed to retain control of the captives since their abduction, earning the ire of four other rebel commanders on Jolo who feel they've been cut out of most of the ransom.
The other Abu Sayyaf leaders made lofty political demands, such as formation of an independent Islamic state, early in the hostage negotiations. But Andang soon controlled the talks with a single-minded pursuit of cash, negotiators say.
Soldiers die in raid; peace eludes countries
ASSIRA ASHMA利亚, West Bank — A botched raid on an Islamic militant hide-out in this West Bank village ended yesterday with three Israeli soldiers dead — all possibly by friendly fire — and Palestinian officials angry at how Israel handles threats to peace between the two peoples.
The raid comes a month after Israel and Palestinian negotiators broke new ground at the Camp David summit. The sides still hope to agree on a permanent peace soon, a prospect that has spurred Hamas — implacably opposed to any deal with the Jewish state — to increase its efforts to scuttle the peace.
The target of the nighttime raid was Mahmoud Abu Hanoud, a fugitive at the top of Israel's most-wanted list who is blamed for two 1997 bombings that killed at least 21 ISilis.
Despite their own failure to capture Abu Hanoud, for whom they'd been searching for years, Israeli officials praised Palestinian security forces and said his detention proved the effectiveness of Palestinian-Israeli security cooperation.
