State Sen. Joe Wilson swept four rivals in the Columbia primary to win the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District seat vacancy caused by Floyd Spence's death.

Wilson, a Springdale lawyer and longtime Spence aide, vows a united GOP and to work with President Bush as he campaigns on a people focused, positive platform.

Afghan conflict widens as Zacef cites 1500 dead in week four
Ambassador Abdul Salam Zacef claimed 1,500 killed so far in Afghanistan’s fourth week of fighting. The Pentagon accuses the Taliban of inflating civilian casualties and denies deliberate targeting. Zacef criticized US aims against Taliban, alleging plans to set up a puppet northern government and erase Islamic identity. They cite US airstrikes after Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 suspect. Reports describe heavy air activity around Mazar-e-Sharif, clashes in Samangan and Balkh, and strikes near Kabul. Separate strikes north of Kabul report multiple explosive devices, with a death from a hazardous device. The Afghan opposition’s Northern Alliance moves toward Kabul with hundreds of troops deployed north of the capital.
