Bloodiest Liberia barrage tests new U S deployment
In Monrovia rebels and refugees faced a deadly Friday mortar attack on the U S Embassy and a crowded refugee school, leaving Liberians questioning why a U S peace deployment comes after such bloodshed. At least 26 killed and 200 wounded as Bush ordered ships and troops to Liberia amid a 3 year war waged by Charles Taylor. Rebels and government forces traded blame for shelling the capital while urging cooperation with any Americans. Refugees crowded near the embassy seeking protection as aid workers cleared bodies and injuries.
