BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A suicide bomber detonated explosives Thursday inside a packed bus bound for a southern Shiite city, killing 32 people and wounding 44, police said. The blast pushed the three-day death toll from suicide attacks in the capital to at least 75. Meanwhile, a statement posted on the Internet in the name of the Islamic Army in Iraq claimed to have killed an American hostage.

Fight for Christmas

By Ayesha Awan · Thursday, Dec. 8,2005 9:05 p.m.

I love Christmas. Yes, there have been a couple of columns in the Indiana Daily Student about loving Christmas. But mine is unique. Want to know why? I am not Christian and neither I nor my family members celebrate Christmas. But I still love Christmas.

A woman's world

By Amanda Dorman · Thursday, Dec. 8,2005 9:03 p.m.

Modern boxing, going down for the count

By Alyson Brodsy and Shaan Joshi · Thursday, Dec. 8,2005 11:58 a.m.

Saturday marked the last important fight in the boxing world this year. The rematch between Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor, every bit the old assassin taking a last stand against the upcoming swashbuckler, was chockfull of good story. It turned out to be the most important fight of the year, but it was definitely not the best (that goes to Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo). The rematch between the two lasted 12 rounds, much like the first fight and, in the end, Taylor took it by one round again. It left me wondering what the hell "B-HOP" was doing in the 11th round, and why I had to pay $50 to watch a boxing match.
