New York Daily News - Home - Kills self at Ground Zero in protest: "A Georgia man fatally shot himself at Ground Zero, and friends believe the tragic suicide was a political protest against President Bush's reelection and the war in Iraq.
The body of Andrew Veal, 25, a university research worker who was engaged to be married, was found on the hallowed ground of the World Trade Center site yesterday morning.
Veal didn't leave a note, but those who knew the sensitive young man said he sent a grim message by choosing to end his life where almost 3,000 people perished on Sept. 11, 2001.
'I'm absolutely sure it's a protest,' said Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the University of Georgia survey research lab. 'I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic.'
'I see it as a political statement,' agreed co-worker Stacey Sutherland. 'He was so opposed to the war.'"
