Dead soldier's family harassed

KOKOMO, Ind. --

Local police are watching the home of an
Indiana solider killed in Iraq after the home was vandalized and
his family received disturbing phone calls.

Sgt. Rickey Jones died in a roadside bomb blast last week
north of Baghdad. He was 21.

On Saturday, someone threw eggs at his family's home. The family
also got phone calls from someone who said they were glad that
Jones was dead.

Jones' relatives and police are also bracing for the possibility
that a Kansas-based group that has created furor at other soldiers'
funerals will stage a protest Monday at his funeral.
