At least 33 people--Sunni and Shi'ite alike--have been killed in Washash this year, and the pace seems to be picking up. One of the latest victims was Shi'ite house painter Ali Jeri, whose death was especially painful to the neighborhood. Jeri was known as a kind and wise mediator who had many Sunni friends.

When George and Jeri Soulier approached their pastor about adopting Jason, he responded, "If we can't support you in doing this, then we are not a church...
...Upon hearing that the event would be held on what was essentially an archaeological site, U.S. officials had wondered what conditions might prevail. Said U.S. coach Jeri Daniels Elder, "We were only concerned about the throwing circle (take-off areas), which is the only area that had to be constructed." Some four inches of ancient sod had to be tampered with to create the cement circles for the stadium's two competition shot put areas, but in the end, they were perfect too, the final touches added in the early evening prior to the day's competition.
