Many Feared Killed in Liberia Massacre - Radio
Liberian state radio said on Sunday that rebels had killed many people at a town in the northeast and quoted one source from the area as saying about 1,000 people had been killed.

Liberia Broadcasting System said the massacre had been carried out at the town of Bahn, in Nimba County, but the report did not say when the killings had taken place. It blamed the rebel faction known as Model.

Comment: The Marines wisely returned to their ships as soon as the fighting resumed, so the oil facilities are safe - investors can relax!

I'm sure W won't let it bother him. He's got more important things to worry his pretty little head about. It is campaign season you know.
