MINNEAPOLIS
—
Three people are in custody
Monday awaiting formal
charges after two Dakota
Access pipeline protesters
rappelled from the roof
of the U.S. Bank Stadium
in Minneapolis to hang a
banner during the Minne-
sota Vikings’ season finale
against the Chicago Bears.
The game was not
interrupted by the protest
Sunday, but eight rows of
fans seated below the banner
were cleared as a precaution.
The Vikings beat the Bears
38-10.
The banner urged Minne-
apolis-based U.S. Bank to
divest from the four-state,
$3.8 billion pipeline. Oppo-
nents contend the pipeline
could affect drinking water
and
Native
American
artifacts.
Texas-based
developer Energy Transfer
Partners says the pipeline
will be safe.
Minneapolis
police
spokesman Officer Corey
Schmidt said a 32-year-old
man and 26-year-old woman
were arrested Sunday on
misdemeanor burglary and
trespass charges for the
high-flying stunt.
Police also arrested a
27-year-old woman at the
stadium Sunday whom they
accused of obstructing the
legal process. Schmidt said
Monday that accusations
against the woman have
been upgraded to include
burglary. He declined to
discuss her alleged role

in Minneapolis.
in the incident, citing the
ongoing investigation.
He said a complaint with
formal charges is expected
to be filed Tuesday.
The Hennepin County
Jail roster shows all three
suspects still in custody on
Monday.
Minnesota’s burglary law
includes entering a building
without consent and with
the intent to commit a crime.
Schmidt said the manner
in which the suspects got
inside the stadium was part
of the ongoing probe.
The protesters rappelled
into place during the second
quarter, and hung in a seated
position about 100 feet
above the seats that were
evacuated for safety. The
pair watched the rest of the
game, occasionally shifting
positions or waving at spec-
tators. One wore a purple
Brett Favre Vikings jersey.
U.S. Bank Stadium oper-
ator SMG said in a statement
that they apparently climbed
over a guard rail to access
the ridge truss. Police spoke
with them from a catwalk in
attempt to get them to stop,
and by the fourth quarter
about a half-dozen police
and firefighters in rappelling
gear were on the truss
waiting to remove the pair.
The protesters willingly
climbed up their ropes when
the game ended, as fans
booed them from below.
Vikings
spokesman
Lester Bagley said the
team’s only concern was for
the “safety of our fans and
guests.”
Protesters say U.S. Bank
has extended a large credit
line to Energy Transfer Part-
ners. U.S. Bank spokesman
Dana Ripley declined
comment.
The pipeline would
carry oil from western
North Dakota through
South Dakota and Iowa to
a shipping point in Illinois.
Protesters camped in North
Dakota for months to try
to stop completion of the
project.
IS suicide bomber kills 36 in Baghdad market
BAGHDAD (AP) — A
suicide bomber driving
a pickup loaded with
explosives struck a bustling
market in Baghdad on
Monday, killing at least 36
people in an attack claimed
by the Islamic State group
hours after French President
Francois Hollande arrived in
the Iraqi capital.
The bomb went off in a
fruit and vegetable market
that was packed with day
laborers, a police officer
said, adding that another 52
people were wounded.
During a press confer-
ence with Hollande, Prime
Minister Haider al-Abadi
said the bomber pretended to
be a man seeking to hire day
laborers. Once the workers
gathered around, he deto-
nated the vehicle.
IS claimed the attack in
a statement circulated on a
militant website often used
by the extremists. It was the
third IS-claimed attack in
as many days in and around
Baghdad, underscoring the
lingering threat posed by
the group despite a string of
setbacks elsewhere in the
country over the past year,
including in and around the
northern city of Mosul.
The attack took place in
Sadr City, a vast Shiite district
in eastern Baghdad that has
been repeatedly targeted by
Sunni extremists since the
2003 U.S.-led invasion.

Citizens inspect the scene after a car bomb explosion
at a crowded outdoor market in the Iraqi capital’s
eastern district of Sadr City, Iraq, Monday. A suicide
bomber blew up his explosives-laden vehicle Mon-
day in a bustling market area in Baghdad, killing at
least a dozen people, Iraqi officials said.
brand cleric for whose family
the neighborhood is named,
were seen evacuating bodies
in their trucks before ambu-
lances arrived. Dead bodies
were scattered across the
bloody pavement alongside
fruit, vegetables and laborers’
shovels and axes. A minibus
filled with dead passengers
was on fire.
Asaad Hashim, an owner
of a mobile phone store
nearby, described how the
laborers pushed and shoved
around the bomber’s vehicle,
trying to get hired.
“Then a big boom came,
sending them up into the air,”
said the 28-year old, who
suffered shrapnel wounds to
his right hand. He blamed
“the most ineffective security
forces in the world” for
failing to prevent the attack.
An angry crowd cursed
the government, even after
a representative of al-Sadr
tried to calm them. Late
last month, Iraqi authorities
started removing some of
the security checkpoints
in Baghdad in a bid to ease
traffic for the capital’s 6
million residents.
“We have no idea who
will kill at any moment and
who’s supposed to protect
us,” said Ali Abbas, a 40-year
old father of four who was
hurled over his vegetable
stand by the blast. “If the
securities forces can’t protect
us, then allow us to do the
job,” he added.
Several smaller bombings
elsewhere in the city on
Monday killed another 20
civilians and wounded at
least 70, according to medics
and police officials. All
officials spoke on condition
of anonymity because they
were not authorized to brief
reporters.
The U.S. State Depart-
ment condemned the wave
of attacks “in the strongest
possible terms.”
“These vicious acts of
mass murder are a sobering
reminder of the need to
continue coalition operations
against Daesh and to elimi-
nate the threat this terrorist
group poses,” it said, using
an Arabic acronym for IS.
Separately, the U.S. mili-
tary announced the death of
a coalition service member in
Iraq in a “non-combat related
incident” on Monday, without
providing further details.
Hollande meanwhile met
with al-Abadi and President
Fuad Masum, and later
traveled to the self-governing
northern Kurdish region to
meet with French troops and
local officials. He pledged
support for helping displaced
Iraqis return to the city of
Mosul, where Iraqi forces are
waging a massive offensive
against IS.
“We must also prepare
a political solution for
Mosul’s post-liberation so
that its inhabitants can live
together,” he said. Hollande
also visited a military outpost
on the outskirts of the city.
