a July 06: 2002 Por segunda ocasión, el Tribunal Estatal Electoral del estado de Chihuahua resuelve anular las elecciones para Alcalde en Ciudad Juárez, en las que el panista Jesús Alfredo Delgado había obtenido por segunda vez el triunfo. Contra el voto del magistrado Jesús Salcido, el magistrado presidente del TEE, José Rodríguez Anchondo, resolvió la impugnación hecha por la Alianza Unidos por Juárez, de mayoría priísta. Con este fallo, el PAN aún puede impugnar esta decisión ante el Tribunal Federal Electoral. En los comicios extraordinarios del 12 mayo, durante el conteo, fueron anulados 10 mil 700 votos, lo que provocó suspicacias entre los representantes de la Alianza Unidos por Juárez, por lo que impugnaron el triunfo del candidato del PAN. The previous mayoral vote was held in July 2001. The PAN's victory then was annulled because it ran TV and radio spots for its candidates during a blackout period in Ciudad Juarez and across the border in El Paso, Texas. 2002 At a gasoline station in Inglewood, California, White policeman Jeremy Morse questions a Black motorist about his suspended driver's license and expired license plates. The motorist's mentally retarded son, Donovan Jackson, 16, reacts in a way that angers the policeman who handcuffs the boy. At this point, in a motel room across the street, Mitchell Crooks, 27, notices the commotion and starts videotaping it. The tape shows Morse slamming Donovan head first into a police car and slugging him in the face as other policemen converge. Another person would say that, on 23 June 2002, Morse and other policemen had beaten him so badly that he fell into a coma.

Deaths
which occurred on a July 06: 2002 Abdul Qadir and his son-in-law, by two gunmen firing assault rifles, in Kabul, at about 12:40. Since the establishing of the new government in June 2002, Qadir was one of Afghanistan's three Vice-Presidents and head of the Ministry of Public Works which he was just leaving, his son-in-law driving. [27 Nov 2001 photo: Qadir, then post-Taliban governor of the Pashtun province of Nangarhar, at the UN-sponsored Afghan talks , in Koenigswinter, Germany, to plan the interim government. >] 2002 Palestinian sources said yesterday that a Palestinian woman and her two-year-old daughter were killed by IDF gunfire in the Gaza Strip. A review conducted last night by the IDF division commander in the area, Col. Yoel Sarik, revealed that there was IDF gunfire in the area at the time. Whether the mother and child were caught in the gunfire still remains to determined. According to Palestinian reports, the woman, Randa al-Hindi, 42, and her daughter, Nur, were traveling at 5 A.M. on the road from Khan Yunis to Gaza, following a visit to relatives. Palestinian sources said the two were hit by light-weapons fire close to the Sheikh Ajlin neighborhood south of the city. A conflicting report said the car in which the two had been traveling had been hit by a tank shell. A third Palestinian, Subhi Shurab, 40, was killed at the weekend in Khan Yunis, close to the Katif Bloc settlements. Palestinian sources said the man was killed by IDF gunfire. 2002 Randa al-Hindi, 42, and her daughter, Nur, 2, Palestinians, by Israeli gunfire or a tank shell, close to the Sheikh Ajlin neighborhood south of Gaza city, as they were traveling at 05:00 on the road from Khan Yunis to Gaza, following a visit to relatives. 2002 Subhi Shurab, 40, Palestinian, by Israeli army gunfire, in Khan Yunis, close to the Katif Bloc settlements. 2001 Ramzan Gasayev, puppet administrator of Alkhan-Kala, executed by Chechen patriots. Five masked men shot Gasayev at point-blank range in the evening when he opened the door to his house. The gunmen left a note saying the execution was revenge for the death of Chechen patriot field commander Arbi Barayev, who was killed in a Russian military sweep of Alkhan-Kala the previous week. Russian officials said Barayev was killed during an eight-day military operation in which troops surrounded Alkhan-Kala and searched it for rebels. This same day a Human Rights Watch report says that Russian forces in Chechnya have arbitrarily detained hundreds and possibly thousands of Chechen men in a new round of sweep operations like the one in Alkhan-Kala. Eyewitnesses from several villages report torture, ill-treatment and extortion of the detainees. The present level of arbitrary detentions is unprecedented. This amounts to collective punishment and is absolutely unacceptable. 2001 Three Russian soldiers in 13 attacks by Chechen patriots on the occupiers' positions and checkpoints. 2001 Six Russian combat policemen when their vehicles hit landmines in occupied Grozny, Chechnia. 2001: 11 persons, by falling tree.

Air conditioning in those countries is not as common as in the southern US. 2000 Michael Costin, 40, in a coma from having his head pounded on the floor by the much stronger Thomas Junta, 40, the previous day, in an argument about their 10-year-old sons hockey practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Junta would be tried for this in January 2002, convicted of involuntary manslaughter on 11 January 2002, and sentenced on 25 January 2002 to 6-to-10 years in prison as asked by the prosecution, the judge commenting that he would have preferred the maximum, 20 years..
