Shi'ite leader al-Hakim, for instance, had initially blamed the Samarra bombing in part on Khalilzad's pressure on his party to relinquish control of the Interior Ministry, which controls some 110,000 police and paramilitary personnel-many of whom are drawn from Shi'ite militias and have been accused of doubling as death squads targeting Sunnis...

Cusworth was able to step up to exploit that weakness, compiling a career-high 16 rebounds, 13 in the second half, to go along with 22 points and three blocked shots. On the Penn side, however, forward Mark Zoller compensated with career-highs of 18 rebounds and five blocks...
