Ground Zero Suicide Driven by Election



NEW YORK (AP) --



A 25-year-old man from Georgia who was apparently distraught over President Bush's re-election shot and killed himself at ground zero. Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits site, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. A shotgun was found nearby, but no suicide note was found, Coleman said.



Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

Friends said Veal worked in a computer lab at the University of Georgia and was planning to marry.



"I'm absolutely sure it's a protest," Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the lab, told The Daily News. "I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic for sure.



Police were investigating how Veal entered the former World Trade Center site, which is protected by high fences and owned by the Port Authority.

And then.....



The Country of Iraq locked down in an Emergency situation as our administration plans an all out "assault" on Falluja.



And also....



A gunman wearing armor shoots up a "Hotel" in Milwaukee, killing not only his girlfriend, but also an innocent bystander from Germany, and wounding two others in the process AND taking another innocent bystander as a hostage.....makes me think twice of wanting to stay at a hotel, much less working at one.



And last but not least....



PLO Leader Arrafat lying close to death in a Paris hospital and people arguing about where he should be burried....Isreal says he WILL NOT be burried in Juresalem because he is a terrorist and that this city is reserverd for "Jewish Kings" and surly not a terrorisit such as Arrafat.



What is the world coming to??
