Wausau 255 Eau Claire fft 'i -Apptetonl 257 1 i Manitowoc 2610 Oshkosh Mortars slam into Baghdad BY ALEXANDRA ZAV1S Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq The deadline set by kidnappers of American journalist Jill Carroll for U.S. authorities to meet their demands passed Sunday with no word on her fate and with no sign that American or Iraqi authorities are close to finding her. An Iraqi Interior Ministry official said an extensive search was under way for the 28-year-old freelancer for the Christian Science Monitor, who was seized by gunmen in Baghdad on Jan. 7. Her Iraqi translator was killed.

"Our forces raided some suspected places, but she was not there," Maj. Falah al-Mo-hammedawi said. "We are watching the situation closely." Carroll was last seen in a videotape broadcast Feb. 9 by the private Kuwaiti television station Al-Rai. The station owner, Jassem Boudai, said then that the kidnappers had set Feb.

26 as the deadline for U.S. and Iraqi authorities to meet their demands or they would kill her. The kidnappers, a formerly unknown group calling themselves the Revenge Brigades, have publicly demanded the release of all women detainees in Iraq, but Boudai indicated the group provided more specific conditions that he refused to reveal. The deadline could not have come at a worse time, with Iraqi security forces facing a major challenge because of the sectarian crisis that erupted after bombers destroyed the golden dome of the Shiite Askariya shrine, triggering a wave of reprisal attacks on Sunni mosques in Baghdad and other cities. On the day of the deadline, at least 29 people, including three American soldiers, were killed in violence across the country.

Kenosha i 3517 National Temperatures National Weather Today Inmates riot, take control of parts of prison in Kabul From wire services KABUL, Afghanistan -Summary executions of prisoners took place at the Policharki prison during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the Taliban rule of the country. On Sunday, it was the inmates who were in charge. Hundreds of Afghan soldiers with tanks and grenade-launchers surrounded Kabul's main prison Sunday after rioting inmates seized control of much of the facility in an uprising that officials blamed on al-Qaida and Taliban militants.

Government negotiators late Sunday suspended talks to end the standoff at the notorious Policharki jail, which later this year is slated to receive dozens of Afghans currently in U.S. military's Guantanamo prison. The riot broke out late Saturday in Block Two of the prison, which houses about 1,300 of the 2,000 inmates. Officials said the violence began when inmates refused to put on new uniforms, which were ordered after seven Taliban prisoners escaped last month by disguising themselves as visitors. Bodies of missing miners demanded SAN JUAN DE SAB1NAS, Mexico With no hope of finding 65 missing miners alive, a few dozen relatives waited outside a collapsed coal mine in northern Mexico on Sunday, hoping efforts to recover remains of their kin will begin soon.

A gas explosion Feb. 19 raised the temperature inside the Pasta de Conchos mine to 1,110 degrees and released toxic methane and carbon monoxide that gobbled up nearly all of the oxygen. On Saturday mining company officials acknowledged there was no way the trapped coal miners could have survived, ending a week of anguish for relatives still holding out hope for their rescue from the mine, about 85 miles southwest of the U.S. border at Eagle Pass, Texas. The scientists and executives from the company that owns the mine, Grupo Mexico SA de CV, say it won't be safe enough to resume recovery efforts until today.

Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq Saddam Hussein's lawyers are asking for a delay in his trial because of the turmoil that swept Baghdad after the bombing of a Shiite shrine, one of his lawyers said Sunday. A court official said a postponement was possible for the next session on Tuesday. The defense team's request comes amid sectarian violence and movement restrictions after the bombing Wednesday of a revered Shiite Muslim shrine in Samarra and ensuing reprisal attacks on Sunni mosques and clerics across Iraq. More than 200 people have been killed. "We have asked for a delay because of the security situation.

It will be difficult for our colleagues to attend and there is a curfew as well," said Khamis al- Obeidi, one of Saddam's lawyers. The government imposed a daytime curfew in Baghdad and three nearby province in the three days after the shrine bombing. On Sunday, the curfew was lifted but driving was banned in Baghdad and its suburbs. Officials said roads would reopen today. Judge Raid Juhi, a court spokesman, said he believed the next trial session might be put off if the situation continued unchanged.

"In the end it is the decision of the chief judge," he said. Saddam and co-defendants have been on trial since Oct. 19 in the killing of nearly 150 people from the town of Dujail after a 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam. They face death by hanging if convicted. lures Tue.
