Pizza Shuttle driver attacked and robbed
A 25-year-old Pizza Shuttle driver was clubbed in the head and robbed while delivering a pizza Sunday night to the 1700 block of west 24th street, Lawrence police said.
"Two unknown subjects struck the victim in the head with an unknown object," said Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler.
The incident began at 10:45 p.m. when the driver was delivering a pizza to 1732 W. 24th Street. When he got there two men, sitting in front of the house, called to the driver and said they ordered the pizza, but they did not want it.
"The driver turned around to get in his car and one of the suspects hit him on the back of the head and demanded money," Wheeler said. The driver was not hospitalized.
Police said the two robbers chased the driver on foot and yelled for money. The driver threw a billfold full of Pizza Shuttle money behind him and kept running, police said.
Police said they do not know if the suspects lived at the 24th street residence. Pizza Shutte would not release the amount stolen

Angry farmers blockade U.S.Canadian border
SWEETGRASS, Mont. — Farmers and ranchers, angry about federal agriculture and trade policies, blocked southbound truckers at the U.S-Canadian border today.
Several hundred people began the blockade at about 12:30 p.m. after a rally at the windswept border crossing.
Blockade organizers met with U.S. customs officials, who agreed as a matter of safety not to allow trucks hauling Canadian farm products to enter through the border checkpoint.
Protesters left one lane of the two-lane highway into Montana open, allowing other vehicles to pass through. Organizers said the noon-hour protest would last as long as people felt like staying — perhaps into the evening.
The protest took place as Montana stepped up its enforcement of regulations imposed on trucks transporting farm commodities from Canada.
The governor said last week that starting yesterday, Montana officials would accelerate their checks for compliance with regulations dealing with truck weight, livestock health and more.
Pilot considered hero as four die in plane crash
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The pilot of a small plane was hailed as a hero for guiding his aircraft away from buildings as it crashed to the ground and exploded in flames.
The pilot and all three passengers were killed, and a bystander was iniured.
Officials said the pilot, Henry Sagel, guided the twin-engine Piper Aerostar into a clearing in a wooded area near the Ocean Creek Resort, avoiding surrounding restaurants, homes, hotels and businesses.
The plane developed engine trouble after taking off from Grand Strand Airport and Sagel tried to return to the airport, Horry County Police Lt. Myron Creel said.
The victims, all from York, Pa., where the plane was heading, were identified as Sagel, Leonard Boyer, his brother David Boyer, and Charles Jenson, Deputy Coroner Dan Bellamy said today.
A man walking his dog was burned when the plane burst into flame.
Charles Fred Clark of Fayetteville, N.C., was in critical condition today at the Medical University of South Carolina. His dog suffered slight burns.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Rockets blasted houses in northern Kabul today, killing at least 10 people while residents dug through rubble by another barrage that killed more than 50 in the Afghan capital Sunday.
more than 50 killed as rockets hit Afghanistan
WORLD
Red Cross ambulances roared into the Khair Khanna neighborhood shortly after today's attack, not far from the site of Sunday's rocket strikes. Neighbors used their hands to dig through the debris and reach the wounded.
No one took responsibility for the attacks, but the ruling Taliban religious militia blamed its opponents, positioned north of the capital.
Opposition leaders denied firing the rockets and accused the Taliban of hitting the northern neighborhoods from their positions east and southeast of the city.
Sunday's rocket assault was the worst since the Taliban took control of the capital in September 1996, ousting President Burhanuddin and his military chief Ahmed Shah Massoud.
Hospital officials reported as many as 50 dead in Sunday's attack, but the death toll could be higher because Afghanis bury their dead immediately and seldom take bodies to a hospital.
Two suspects charged in Embassy bombings
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania — A Tanzanian and an Egyptian, escorted into a courtroom under heavy guard, were charged yesterday with murder in connection with the U.S. Embassy bombing in Tanzania. If convicted, they would be hanged.
Egyptian Mustafa Mahmoud Said Ahmed and Tanzanian Rashid Saleh Hemed each were charged with 11 counts of murder. The Aug. 7 bombing killed 11 people, all Africans. Resident Magistrate Amiri Maneto said no bail was allowed. A trial date will be set Oct. 5.
Although no details were released in court, local media said traces of chemicals that could have been used to make the bomb had been found in Saleh's home and car. Police, the reports said, also were seeking two unidentified men who had visited Saleh often before the bombing.
No information was available on why charges were filed against Ahmed, who authorities also said was known as Said Ahmed and Saleh Aben Alahales.
Ahmed told the court he could not understand why he was charged because he was not even in Dar es Salaam on the day of the bombing. He said he was in the northern Tanzanian town of Anusha.

Hashinger fire leaves students out in the rain
Early yesterday morning a small fire in Hashinger Hall left residents out in the rain for more than an hour.
The fire began in Hashinger's mechanical room about 3 a.m. Smoke alarms sounded soon afterward.
Phil Garito, associate director in charge of maintenance at the department of student housing, said the fire began because of a burning transformer.
Hashinger will not have any air conditioning for about a week, Garito said. The system will be shut off until it receives a new transformer.
After talking to the Lawrence fire department, Garito said a pipe rusted through or broke and shot water into the transformer. The transformer shorted out and began to smoke, which set off the fire alarm.
He said officials were assuming the same water that started the fire also put it out.
Garito said this type of incident was rare.
"Fortunately all the systems responded the way they are designed to," Garito said.
Hashinger resident, Keir Eliasoph, Great Neck, N.Y., sophomore, was upset about the inconvenience.
He said many of the students were directed to Ellsworth Hall to wait and get out of the rain. Eliasoph chose to go to The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., with a friend instead.
"I missed my first class because I couldn't get back to sleep," Eliasoph said. "It was ridiculous."
