de naald attack: 8th person dies
from copycat effect: An eighth person has died in the wake of the assassination attempt on the Dutch Royal Family. The De Naald (in English The Needle), is the obelisk monument in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn that became the final resting place for Karst Tates' automobile... The car rammed into a stone monument (the Masonic structure pictured above) after speeding through the crowd, narrowly missing an open-topped bus carrying Queen Beatrix and other royal family members. Police say the car's driver, identified by Dutch media as Karst Tates, admitted attempting to attack the popular monarch shortly after his car came to a halt. He did not give a motive. The attack on the Queen's Day national holiday raised questions in the Netherlands about the level of security surrounding the royal family.

US soldier kills 5 fellow troops in iraq shootout
from danger room: Shocking news from Iraq: An American soldier killed five fellow troops in a shooting incident at Camp Liberty, the heavily-fortified U.S. base complex that abuts Baghdad International Airport. Details at this point are scarce, but this looks like an ugly case of fratricide. The Associated Press reports that the shootings happened at a Camp Liberty stress clinic, where troops can receive counseling for combat-related stress or other personal issues. The shooter is reportedly in custody. As The Wall Street Journal’s Yochi Dreazen notes, this is the most deadly single incident involving U.S. troops in Iraq since a truck bomb killed five soldiers in Mosul last month. Camp Liberty is ringed by heavy security, and it’s rather zealously guarded by Ugandan contractors, real sticklers for checking badges. The greatest danger to these mega-bases, at least inside the perimeter, is usually rocket or mortar fire. Unlike the Vietnam War, when “fragging” became commonplace, such cases of fratricide have been extremely rare in Iraq.
