| Police suspect teens of bombing
| By Jeff Zeleny
I Senior Reporter
|
Three Lincoln teens were appre
hended Tuesday on suspicion of mak
ing a homemade bomb with toilet
cleaner and an empty soda bottle.
The teens, one 14 and two 15, al
legedly threw the bombs out a back
window of a 1956 blue Chevrolet they
were driving in east Lincoln, said po
lice Sgt. Ann Heermann.
A Lincoln East High School stu
dent called police after the teens
handed him a bomb in the school park
ing lot about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. The
student was not injured when the
bottle exploded, police said.
Minutes later, the classic automo
bile was spotted near 71st Street and
Englewood Drive when the teens were
seen flinging another bomb. The bomb
exploded in front of 7141 Englewood
Drive, Heermann said.
When police responded to the
bombing reports, they saw the three
teens in the Chevrolet. The teens all
were referred to the police
department’s Youth Aid Unit on sus
picion of possessing an explosive de
vice.
No damage was reported to police,
Heermann said.

a box in an unlocked room, police
said.

ASUN meeting focuses on Somalia
By Kasey Keroer
Staff Reporter
A SUN took a break from campus
politics Wednesday night to focus on
global affairs.
Col. Charles Dunlap, a staff judge
advocate for the U.S. Strategic Air
Command in Omaha, presented a slide
presentation on the U.S. peace-keep
ing effort in Somalia.
“We went to Somalia because of
the expanse of human suffering there
was in that country,” Dunlap told the
Association of Students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
He explained how the United States
flew more than 2,000 flights to Soma
lia to airlift over 28,000 metric tons
of food to those in need.
Not all parts of the Somalian peace
keeping effort were easy, Dunlap said.
“We had a real conflict with the
Red Cross,” he said. “They wanted us
to place their logo on our planes,
which we found we could live with.
But then they insisted that we not arm
these planes, despite the fact that about
every Red Cross worker in the coun
try carried a gun.”
Dunlap also discussed aspects of
Somalia to which the American pub
lie had never been exposed.
“There are things you don’t hear
about. Like the mutilation. There
were mines in Somalia,” he said.
“When you step on one, you want it
to kill you. You don’t want to live
after what one of those things can
do to you.”
Having witnessed the Somalian
peace-keeping effort, Dunlap said he
would do it differently if he had to do
it again.
“Given the opportunity, I would not
send as many troops. I would have
preferred airdrops of food to smaller
villages,” he said.

print media, compelling independent
newspaper owners to sell their inter
ests and form one giant public news
paper company.
The government appoints the
newspapers’ board of directors, Seow
said, and controls their editorial con
tent.
“Nowhere else in the world, except
perhaps Stalinist Russia, could all this
have happened."
Finishing his lecture, Seow said
people often think of Singapore as an
island paradise.
He recalled an old saying in re
sponse to that view:
t
“The proof of the pudding lies in
the eating.”
Seow said 3,000 to 4,000
Singaporeans emigrated from the
country each year. The country’s
population is about 3 million, he said.
“If it is all the paradise it is made
out to be, why have so many
Singaporeans emigrated and are still
emigrating from the country?”
